The qualification was the start of it

What you were trained in has a shelf life. The ability to learn something new does not — which makes it the thing worth maintaining.

For people who are already working

A professional is expected to absorb a new regulation, a new system or a new field quickly, and to find the time for it. Neither is taught. Both can be.

There are two different needs here, and they are worth separating. One is occasional and sharp: an examination, a professional certification, a competitive selection, a body of technical material to hold in your head by a fixed date. That is a learning-method problem, and the Learning Skills path is built for it. The work done between 2015 and 2019 with the Foundation of the Order of Engineers of the Province of Turin came out of exactly that demand. The other is continuous and low-intensity: staying current, in a form that survives a working week. That is what LEARNIS Academy is for — a subscription built around a periodical and a monograph, designed to be picked up in the gaps. Most professionals who stay with us use both, at different moments.

Three things worth maintaining

1

Learn faster than your field changes

Learning Skills: the ability that ages more slowly than anything it is applied to.

2

Work on what no qualification examined

Personal Skills: how you handle pressure, disagreement and your own decisions.

3

Make it continuous, not occasional

LEARNIS Academy: a habit that fits a working week, rather than a course you have to schedule.
