Upskilling basics for the worker

​

1. Prepare to allocate time to your career plan. You need time to research, network and simply to think about what you want. Work that time into your week.

2. Network. Talk to people both in career areas that interest you and also people who have done courses that might suit you.

3. If you find a course that interests you, use your allocated time to go in and meet the director of that course. Going back to education is a big commitment. You need to really do your research and make sure the course is for you.

4. Do your research. Know what opportunities are out there. In the age of the internet, there is no excuse.

5. Decide what level of course you are willing to do. Much of this will come down to your confidence and the time you’re prepared to commit.

6. Consider the finances. If you can’t afford a full course, is there an option to do a module instead? Is there a short course that you can build on later?

7. Make sure you have an eye on the bigger picture regarding your career. Know where the course you intend to do fits in to your overall career plan.
