We have seen the stock markets plunge across the world during this coronavirus pandemic which spread across the world in early 2020.
Many people have been laid off and do not have sick pay. Those who work in online marketing are lucky to be able to continue their work (if they still have it) but many of us will need to upkill.
I will cover some of the courses taking place and free events for those to attend so people can upskill and be ready to move on after the virus. I will also share how you can work on your own strengths which will help you both in your personal and professional lives.
I will cover some of the environmental impact of COVID19 and how we can all play a greater role in looking after the environment going forwards.
This webinar is for all those who want to learn how to help their business and those of their clients and how we can prepare for a new normality after this lockdown ends.
