Anyone with a job, or who wants a job, knows that learning does not stop when you graduate. Staying on top of changing industries, legal requirements and new products is a continual process that is handled most efficiently via online learning courses.

Companies need their employees to stay in compliance with health and safety training, IT professionals need to learn all the ins and outs of new systems and then of course the legal side of everything from sexual harrasment, ethics, and HIPA requirements.

Keeping your skills sharp has never been more important. Those who fail to take the time for continuing education will be left behind. But taking time away from work and family is not always an option; making eLearning much more effective. Personally, I love the idea of taking a class while dinner is cooking, or after the kids are in bed.

Those with teens should prepare then for this reality. Knowing how to naviagate online classes is a skill that everyone should master and accept.
