Microsoft Excel in 30 minutes, business communication and structured problem-solving top the list of most valued free online learning courses for 2022, according to recruitment and workforce solutions specialists Hays.

- Structured Problem-Solving: Designed to help learners understand the concept and role of work problems and how to master decision-making and problem-solving skills.

Upskill in your downtime
“The Christmas and New Year period is an opportune time to invest in yourself and your career,” says Nick Deligiannis, Managing Director of Hays in Australia & New Zealand.
“From learning new technical skills to advancing your soft skills and digital skills, continuous learning keeps you employable and helps future-proof your career. Upskilling at this time of year can also help you achieve your New Year’s career resolutions.
“We know there’s a learning disconnect between what professionals need and employers offer. At the same time, employers value job candidates who drive their own learning agenda. So, if you upskill over the holiday period, make sure you update your CV and LinkedIn profile to showcase your continuous learning mindset and your new skills.”
Hays offers free online learning to professionals through its online platform, Hays Learning. During the last 18 months, Hays’ learning platform delivered 29 million minutes of learning.
