If you find yourself working from home with no access to the departmental network, have no fear because eLearning@ESDC is here!

During these challenging and uncertain times, you can rely on this weekly learning newsletter to connect ESDC learners - like you! - with meaningful learning.

Each weekly edition of eLearning@ESDC will focus on a departmental learning priority. This week's theme is Digital Mindset and Change Management - and it's no secret why.

The COVID-19 outbreak has forced us to quickly and abruptly change our ways of working and use our digital mindset to continue serving Canadians to the best of our abilities. This may be the perfect time for you to work on strengthening your Digital Mindset and Change Management skills. If so, take a read through the recommended eLearning activites below and have a discussion with your manager.
