Identify your gaps in knowledge and work on ways to fill it. Base your priorities on your career trajectory. 

Research relevant certifications and courses that you can aim towards to set you apart from your competition. Find a mentor in your field that can provide you with practical advice and help you reach your career goals.  

Once you complete your course, you can share your knowledge with your team. It builds trust and credibility and shows your knowledge and drive. You could go one step further and become a mentor.
