These microlearning courses teach the skills tech employers want

Microlearning was the top online learning industry trend for talent developers in 2018, according to a report by LinkedIn Learning, and they’ve only grown in popularity since then. It’s no wonder why. Research has shown that these short, highly-focused training sessions are a proven way for business professionals, software developers, engineers, and learners of all types to pick up new knowledge or grow their existing skills. And since employers are looking for data-centric employees, those skills should include process mining, process management and execution management. New microlearning courses from Celonis Academy are designed to provide those skills and in May 2022, we’re dropping new content for PQL (process query language). 

What is microlearning?

If you haven’t tried microlearning yet, the time is right. Microlearning courses are small e-learning modules that cover a single subject or functional skill and are designed to take less than 15 minutes. Microlearning lessons can contain short videos or audio clips, interactive learning material and brief knowledge check quizzes.
