To survive in this ever-changing world of work, it’s important to continuously improve yourself and upskill. A great way to do this is to participate in learning weeks. Village Consult has launched the Consult Learning Week. This is a four-part online series that teaches professionals how to apply research and data principles in the workplace. Entrepreneurs, students, and working professionals are invited to sign up for this 4 part online series that will look at digital trends.
Village Consult is a hub that leverages data and research to create tailor-made solutions for businesses. They have identified knowledge and skills gaps within the research and information management space. Venture Nation caught up with Blessing Ngwenya, the lead research analyst at Village Consult. He shared that there is a huge gap between the local digital marketing space and international industry standards.
“We want to raise the bar in the skill level of researchers. It’s important to educate businesses on knowledge management. We need to show how various business entities can leverage on correct practices for sustainable solutions.”
“So as Village Consult one of our main aims is to grow these skills and aid in the development of a network and a community in each of these spaces. This is just the first step in enabling and empowering people in the community.”
The classes will begin on the 7th of December 2020
