Have you ever wondered what it takes to make you stand out in this highly competitive job market? Or have you wondered what happened to the ice cutters and the lamplighters? Well, highly dynamic and filled with talent, the job market will create new jobs and will make certain jobs go out of demand. But one can never be sure of what will become of which job. Nevertheless, one thing is for certain, EVERYONE will at some point have to spend their time either re-skilling or up-skilling. Every conceivable job will have new technologies to learn and new personal relationships to navigate as those roles fit and refit into a changing economic landscape.
Re-skilling can be defined as the process of learning new skills for a new position whereas upskilling is simply the process of learning the current tasks more deeply. Embracing this ideology demands a real sense of commitment on the individuals’ part and therefore each and every one of us must be willing to hustle in making learning a lifetime priority. However, the individuals’ commitment to keeping up their skills to remain competitive will only go so far unless the corporations are willing to step up to make it possible.
Industries such as Aviation, Logistics and Supply Chain, Project Management and IT create the most demanded jobs at present and would continue to do so in the years to come. Do you think that you as an individual would possess the necessary skills to work in such an industry? If not this is where Upskilling and Re-skilling come to the party. It would ensure that you are ready to face the challenge ahead by nurturing you to become more competent, creative, and versatile and also enable you to view the challenges from a wider perspective.
Simply put, the benefits that upskilling and re-skilling can have on your career are:-
-
- Boost your employability
