This page is offered to help UIC colleagues identify and use learning resources that extend beyond the training resources created by UIC, or its vendors. Many valuable learning resources are available via the internet, from sites dedicated to provide learning to specific audiences on one topic, up to the wide and varied content available to be found through a key word search of YouTube.

For a list of Professional Organizations dedicated to supporting professionals within a field or community of practice, see the Career Resources page within the “Managing Your Career” section.
