Keeping up with technology can feel like a full-time job—but since our jobs rely on technology, it’s crucial. This is especially true for larger companies, where you might find as soon as you’ve trained all your users on the latest product release, you have to start all over with a whole new round of updates.
Despite this fact (or maybe because of it?), in recent years we’ve seen a growing corporate shift away from “training” culture and towards “learning” culture. While training and learning might sound like the same thing, they’re not…quite. So what’s the difference, and which should you focus on? To find out, we turn to AU expert Rebecca Arsham.
As Corporate CADD Training Manager at WSP-Parsons Brinckerhoff, Arsham is responsible for keeping 10,000 software users around the world up to date. So yeah, she knows what she’s talking about. Arsham brought that expertise with her to Autodesk University 2015 in Las Vegas.

Head over to AU online and find out what Arsham has to say about how to create a successful learning strategy, who is responsible for implementing such a strategy, and how community can promote learning.
The design and engineering industry has a history of mentorship—from apprenticeships to user groups, we learn from each other. According to Arsham, user groups are natural peer-to-peer communities. “When you empower those user groups,” she says, “magic happens.”
That’s where AU slots right into your successful learning strategy—our rich archive of resources can work for training and for learning. By tapping into AU’s expertise, you can make that magic happen, anytime. Because learning isn’t something we did. It’s something we’re doing—all the time.
