Learn.com calls themselves a leader in on-demand workforce development and productivity so, when I came across their website, I absolutely had to dig a little deeper. They are a pioneer in Elearning and “the first company in history to provide a single, integrated platform for those seeking skill improvement for a particular job profile and those seeking to hire skilled, “job ready” workers.”
Personally, my dream job is one in which I can earn a living enriching the lives of others. It sounds really corny when you say it out loud, but it’s still the truth. Many know me as somewhat of a renaissance man. I’m a writer and blogger, specifically covering technology and productivity. I’m also a musician, releasing such esoteric but lyrically charged diddies as Social Media Mogul and Before I Lose It. My interest in my personal health and fitness has transformed my life physically and mentally and I want to help others strive towards their health goals as well.
While my interests are somewhat random, there are some threads that run through them all. Those include sales, marketing, finance, and customer service. These are all basic courses that I could take at Learn.com. Some might even be free. There are also courses on how to operate a home business, which is exactly what I’ve been doing up to this point. Once you’ve selected a job profile on Learn.com, you’ll be assessed a Skill Score that reflects your skill and knowledge as it relates to that job profile.
“We believe the Skill Score will become as important as a credit score within the next few years,” said Learn.com President and CEO Jim Riley. He continued, “This new tool not only gives job seekers an important edge in today’s economy, it also helps employers make better decisions about whom they hire.”
It seems that Learn.com could not only help you figure out where you stand in relation to the skills required for your dream job, but it could also help employers easily pick out the right person for a job. Check out the site, take a free course or two, and tell me what you think.
