Build your know-how in byte-size

Microlearning is a learning approach built around short, focused content units that can be completed in minutes rather than hours. Instead of long courses, microlearning delivers practical knowledge through brief videos, short lessons, quizzes, and hands-on exercises that target specific skills or problems.

For busy startups, microlearning supports capacity building without disrupting daily work. Teams can learn exactly what they need, when they need it, and immediately apply new insights to real business challenges. This makes learning more efficient, easier to fit into tight schedules, and more closely connected to everyday decision-making.

Platforms such as SafetyCulture, Headway and Coursera offer microlearning-friendly formats, ranging from short, mobile-first lessons to modular online courses covering leadership, sales, technology, and business development. By using microlearning tools, startups can continuously develop their skills, adapt to change faster, and strengthen their capabilities without the need for long training sessions.

Obviously, YouTube is a vast resource for tutorials and how-to videos, but browsing those and finding the ones that are actually worth it takes up your precious time - the resource that usually hinders jumping on the learning path in the first place! During spring 2026, CDG-Booster will continue to provide its community with a curated list of byte-sized courses and other learning materials that will put them in the positive spiral of a growth mindset.
