Every time you learn something new - from programming the video to rewiring a plug - you are improving your performance and learning. Because we live in a world where newer, faster and often more complicated ways of doing things arrive all the time, employers value employees who can learn new skills or acquire new knowledge.

Examples of improving learning and performance:

• setting goals and targets for improvement
• planning how you will achieve your targets
• getting support and feedback from others
• reviewing your progress
• collecting evidence of your achievements
• check out your skills
