Learning at work: the 70-20-10 habit and where to find funding
Most learning happens on the job. Here's how to plan it, get it funded and show it on your resume.
The "70-20-10" rule of thumb says most learning comes from doing (70%), some from other people (20%) and some from formal courses (10%). It's a useful way to plan.

Pick one skill linked to a role you want. Find a project where you can use it, a person to learn from, and one short course.
