How can we keep up?

Trainings (and education)Training is the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies as a result of the teaching of vocational or practical skills and knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies.

Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, research,

What is important?

But, why?Because:

In your work:

As a freelancer:

There will be a point, where you will have to get the shitty work done! (yourself)

New technologies, new requirements, new frameworks, very dynamic environment

one-man army (at most cases)

In business:

Education and training are sexy

10% of each startup pitches are about building or starting education platforms
