Find the Right Online Training to Boost Your Career - Devon Haynie, US News

Employees once had few options for sharpening their skills aside from finding a mentor on the job or earning a traditional degree. Today, with the world of online credentials expanding, professionals have a variety of ways they can acquire knowledge and demonstrate their skills. Aside from earning an online degree, employees can sign up for certificate programs, take massive open online courses and earn digital badges, among other options. Long ago, employees would finish their education after their college degree, but that's not good enough anymore, says Rich Thompson, chief human resources officer at Adecco Group North America, a staffing company. "You have to continue to sharpen your skills," he says. "The nice thing about these credentials is that they are affordable and there are so many of them. The trick is, you have to find the right ones." http://news.yahoo.com/online-training-boost-career-133000447.html
