We have launched a series of free resources featuring tips and information to help our community reach their learning goals from home.
How we all work and learn has been changing rapidly in 2020. SCS wants to support you through this evolution. We recognize that in addition to new assistance options for online learners whose finances were impacted by COVID-19, there is an appetite from our learners for content to help explore new territory, engage your minds, and learn skills and ideas you can apply to your lives and careers now.
We reached out to our community of learners to get a better idea of just what kinds of content and the topics you would like to gain insight into. We asked, you responded, we listened.The UofT SCS Knowledge Hub series is the result.
