The world is moving fast today. Being on top of things can be critical. What your team has learned during their traditional education might not be as relevant anymore. Upgrading the skills of the team can upgrade your business. In order to continue growing as a business your team’s skills needs to continue growing too. There is always that edge and better ways of doing things and that comes from continuous learning. Luckily, with technological advances and the internet, that continuous learning is easier than ever before. Top-class education is just a tap away.
Give your team modern University degrees in a wide variety of fields in no time
Platforms like Udacity, Coursera and EdX have the University-level education but instead of learning something for five years you get up to speed with what you need in months or even weeks.
These learning platforms are founded by some of the brightest minds of our time.
Sebastian Thrun who was a pioneer of self-driving cars is the founder of Udacity. After winning DARPA autonomous car challenge he joined Google where he started their journey in this field. As we know today Google’s Waymo is the leader of self-driving cars. Later he founded Udacity to share his knowledge with the world and drive the world’s education forward.
Andrew Ng is the co-founder of Coursera. Andrew is the former chief scientist at Baidu, a dominant Chinese search engine, where he led the company’s Artificial Intelligence Group. Before that Dr. Ng was the founding lead of the Google Brain deep learning project. He and his team at Stanford were the ones to discover the power of GPUs for Deep Learning.
And EdX is founded by the scientists at MIT and Harvard. Today they have a partnership with Microsoft.
As you can see your team will be in good hands :)
