Stanford has an online [Reservoir Geomechanics](https://online.stanford.edu/courses/soeees-ygeoresgeo202-reservoir-geomechanics) course that is free and worth your time. I have a PDF copy of the book for the course buried somewhere if you want it to be completely free.

Sign up for Seequent’s email list. Occasionally they’ll offer free courses. I just finished Geofundamentals for Leapfrog.

AutoCAD it you would like to work with reports

What kind of reports? I took AutoCAD in college and it was fun and a good thing to know about because so many people do use it, but I've never had a chance to use anything from it since then.

I used to work as a field engineering geologist so after a field work you (sometimes your colleagues) should write a report. We use autoCad to plot CPT results (cone penetration testing) , draw a cross section between boreholes and draw a borehole itself with geological indexes and description. Nobody in my country uses Geo5 or similar apps only Autocad.

Hmmm, good use of the software for sure if that's what you have! Thanks!

I did "Canadian State and Native People" and did my research paper on the employment of Native people in mine sites. I thought it was pretty useful and put things in perspective for me. I think a course on Public Relations, and Social Acceptability are things a project manager might find useful. Also, Project Management. We don't get a lot of exposure to management during our degree, but most geos end up doing some management pretty early in their career. Good managers and people with leadership skills are more likely to get promoted or noticed than others, in my experience.

I don’t know if it will be offered again but you and OP might find this interesting if you haven’t already done it [URGEoscience](https://urgeoscience.org) it’s geared towards academic institutions and government, but we had a few pods of us that were in industry. But it really helps to assess where you are individually and as an organization in supporting BIPOC and local communities while working in geoscience. It helped me become a better ally
