Keep Moving Forward with Free Knowledge Resources Part 1 – Traditional and Casual Video Learning

I’m having a severe case of the Mondays on this Wednesday, and I’m struggling to put coherent thoughts together on paper. This info is too important to get out there though, so I’ll keep it short and sweet in the intro…

During these strange times, it is important that we keep moving forward, especially if you’ve been laid off or are at a high risk of being laid off and are at home without any work to do. This is one of the biggest pieces of advice that I gave in my presentation for the SPE Women in Energy (WIN) webinars last week. Since I have received great feedback on the presentation and on the list of free resources, I wanted to produce the resources in written form. Because there is so much free info, I’m going to break this into 2 parts so you can find the resources easier by your preference of learning. Part 1 will be traditional training and casual training, and part 2 will be podcasts and newsletters.

This is not a complete list of free resources either. My guess is that I’ve barely scratched the surface. My apologies, if your content is not on the list, especially if I know you. It was not intentional and maybe I have not found your content yet, so let me know in the comments. It’s also worth noting that there is also a lot of paid content out there that is being offered at deep discounts right now.
