There's so many resources out there.

You look at Coursera, you look at Udacity, you look at Udemy.

LinkedIn, which is LinkedIn Learning, Khan Academy.

You know, if you're sitting within a company itself and it has like LMS systems or you might use DeGreed, whatever it is, there are just so many opportunities.

Like the barriers to accessing...

kind of skill building opportunities and academic opportunities has just significantly lowered.

Like you can go and learn everything about like machine learning by spending a couple of hundred bucks on doing a couple of Coursera courses.

I know Google here in the US last year have released their Google certificate programs where I think it's like $500, $500 or $600.

You can go and do the Google marketing courses and Google have

come out and said that they actually treat those marketing courses as equivalent to a four-year college degree when it comes to the employment process.

So those barriers in terms of like costs, time, accessibility are being reduced with technology.

And I would strongly recommend anyone...

who is like serious about their career to not rest on your laurels, not rest on just the experience that you're gaining in the workplace that you're in or the degree that you may have earned 10, 20, 30 years ago and go off and continue to build your knowledge and build your skills, particularly in those emerging areas.

For sure.

I mean, I should probably sign up to the Salesforce

The ones I probably need to figure out how to use our Salesforce system better than I currently do.

But, yeah, I think what we're also seeing is the emergence of new training and education providers that are more focused on developing skills for the future.

Less so in Australia, but certainly in the US, we're seeing a real emergence around boot camps.

So we're seeing like Flatiron School, Lambda School.

We see other companies like Career Karma here in the Bay Area, which are new, more accessible training providers where you can go off and do two-month, four-month, six-month courses, which are squarely focused on getting you employed in
