Useful learning resources just for you

By Kurt Borgaard, Training Services

Learning comes in all shapes and sizes. Perhaps you’ve taken a live class at WYDOT University, an eLearning course or Learning Track in the WELL. While these can be great options for developing your professional skills, there are two additional excellent resources that have been made available through the Wyoming State Library and WYDOT Training Services. The resources are LinkedIn Learning and ReadItFor.Me. Both are available to you as a WYDOT employee.

LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is a leading online learning platform with over 6,500 courses available. This eLearning can help you learn business, software, technology and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals. LinkedIn Learning has been made available to all State of Wyoming employees. In order to access you will need to obtain a Wyoming State Library Card. If you have questions, you can call Wyoming State Library Information Services at 307-777-6333 or visit the website at: https://library. wyo.gov/.

ReadItFor.Me

In 12 minutes, you can read or listen to hundreds of Leadership book summaries for free by creating an account using your wyo.gov email address:

Go to https://ReadItFor.Me/wyoming

Click the START FREE NOW button

Enter your first name

Enter your email prefix (the @wyo.gov is already populated for you)

You will receive an email with your login information

Instructions for accessing either of these resources can be found in the WELL. Login and click on “Find Training,” then click on “Additional Training Resources.” Information for LinkedIn Learning and ReadItFor.Me are available on that page.

We encourage you to take a few minutes to access and explore these worthwhile resources. Enhance and strengthen your professional knowledge and skills on your schedule, at your pace.
