With sustainability being a key focus of the current global community, it’s important that everyone has the skills to work together and bring about positive change at every level.

This 16-week ExpertTrack from Ubiquity University offers a fast-paced introduction to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and the soft skills that you need to help the global community work towards them.

Develop your collaboration and teamwork skills

As the world continues to change, teamwork and collaboration are becoming even more important than ever.

On this second course, you’ll explore soft skills related to building trust, diversity and inclusion, building teams, and collaborating so that you can work better in hypercomplex environments.

Build your emotional intelligence to more effectively problem-solve

Problem-solving is a vital skill in any environment, but especially in a developing world where the issues are often new and complex.

You’ll learn the role that emotional intelligence plays in solving issues, especially those related to mental health. Then, you’ll develop techniques for critical thinking, examining ways to think differently about topics and taking different cultural perspectives into account.

Improve your interpersonal and communication skills for better leadership

When planning on a global scale for a global community, it’s important to be able to see the larger picture and how smaller parts of a system play into the wider system.

Through this ExpertTrack, you’ll explore sustainable communities and the systems thinking that goes into the designing, planning, and building process of this type of infrastructure.

You’ll also look at different leadership styles, improving your negotiation, conflict resolution, and communication skills to become a better leader.

Explore mindfulness in the modern workplace

As businesses grow more aware of the importance of mental health in the workplace, skills like mindfulness and meditation are becoming increasingly useful.

This ExpertTrack will help you build these skills for both your career and personal wellbeing. You’ll dive into the process of defining your strengths and discover techniques to evaluate both your skills and motivations.

You’ll also gain an introduction to the UN SDGs and the concepts around sustainable development. This will lay the foundation for the rest of this ExpertTrack where you’ll delve further into individual SDGs.
