10 Free Resources to Learn Something New Today
Never Stop Learning: Harness the Power of the Internet
The least-expected part of leaving college is missing it. That “aha!” feeling of making a new connection in a lecture hall is delightful, especially in a subject that sparks enthusiasm. Despite the long hours of study, the dreaded presentations, and the chaos of growing into an adult, I miss it more than I thought I would.
Just a few months after graduating, I sought to continue learning. To avoid taking on an even grander amount of student loan debt, I scoured the internet for ways to learn for free.
Over the last year and a half, I found free, reliable education from the internet. Here are the best places online to learn something new today:
1. InforMEA — The Environment and the United Nations
I’m a HUGE fan of this first one. Not just does InforMEA teach about the environment and sustainable policy, it also gives excellent insight into how the United Nations works. Plus, this website has multiple free certificates of completion, so as you finish each of these mini-courses, you’ll be able to fill out the accomplishment section on your LinkedIn!
