With 2021 closing in just four always-too-short months, performance evaluations and 2022 planning are fast approaching. Are you on track to meet your 2021 goals? How about specifically your 2021 training goals?
If not, no worries: it’s not too late! With a tiny bit of planning and some swift decision making, you can still achieve real, work-applicable skill advancement by year-end 2021. Here’s how:
- Write down your top 3 skills you wish to start or advance by year-end. Questionnaire design? Online qual project management? Reporting? A specific type of data analysis? Something else?
- Tip: pick ones that you are most likely to use right away; training “sticks” better when you apply new knowledge and skills within a month of completing the given training.
- Review the 25+ courses by Rockstar Research to see which of our eLearning topics match your top 3 skill goals. Hopefully, we have all three, and we likely will have at least two!
- Review the duration of each course of interest. What can you realistically commit to?
- If you can allocate 4 hours a week, starting by Monday, September 13th, 2021, you could complete three or four courses by the end of December. Only have 2 hours a week? You could still complete one or two courses easily.
- If we match your market research skill goals, and you are ready to commit to a certain minimum number of hours per week, get ready to rock! And please consider our flexible and affordable membership options.
- As you consider how many hours per week to which you can realistically commit, note that we have a uniquely flexible eLearning platform: at Research Rockstar, we have strategically planned our course schedule for those who want instructor-led, real-time eLearning and also offer all 25+ courses in an on-demand format for 365/24/7 flexibility.
Whether you are developing new market research skills with your team or on your own, it is not too late to meet your 2021 market research goals. Training and development are crucial for all market research professionals in every stage of our careers. It is a highly tangible, demonstrable way to meet performance goals and contribute to business success.
