Adapting Skills to Project-Based Work

This month, we're exploring one of the biggest shifts in the modern workplace: the move toward project-based work. Companies are organizing their efforts around short-term, goal-driven initiatives rather than long-term roles. This evolution means that project management is no longer just a specialized function—it's becoming a core skill for everyone. Knowing how to lead a team, manage deadlines and deliver results is essential in today's fast-moving and cross-functional environment.  But equally important is skills agility—the ability to adapt quickly, learn continuously and apply your talents across different teams and challenges. In a project-based world, the most valuable professionals are the ones who can shift gears and thrive in any setting. To talk about this important topic, we’re delighted to welcome instructor Nate Crews. Read the transcript @https://bit.ly/4jjrQmw Learn more about UC Berkeley Extension @https://bit.ly/43PdzcI
