| Seeking a better business skill set? As business owners, you are required to wear many hats – sales person, accountant, computer technician, HR manager, complaints department, etc. You may find that you are lacking a specific skill set, but don’t have the time or money to learn new skills, or upgrade the ones you have. Renfrew County Community Futures Development Corporation (RCCFDC) in co-operation with Community Futures Development Institute (CFDI) is offering you the chance to take online professional development and business courses at no cost to your business. That’s right, they are free!
Online learning is a great way to take courses while maintaining your work commitments. You can learn at home or work and study at your own pace. There are over 100 different courses to take, many take just a few hours.
Visit the website www.cfdlearn.ca, and choose the course that interests you.
Topics range from Focused Marketing, Introduction to Financial Statements, Microsoft Excel, to Time Management, and E-Business.
Once you have chosen your course contact Janice Hollingworth at 613.735.3951 ext 223 or by email at jhe@bellnet.ca. She will give you a username and password, and deposit learning dollars into your CFDI account.
