There is no better time than the present to improve your skills. Here are three reasons why learning a new skill will benefit you.
According to a McKinsey Global Institute analysis, at least one-third of the work associated with 60% of present employment might be automated. It also anticipates that by 2030, more than 375 million people would be required to master whole new skill sets.
It is critical to be adaptive. Here are three compelling reasons why you should consider acquiring new job skills.
It makes you future-proof. Change is unavoidable, regardless of the job you undertake. No position, organisation, or sector is ever completely predictable. You will be able to shift to a new position or profession more easily if you future-proof your career by upskilling or reskilling.
It brings a new perspective to your career. Learning something new may lead to the discovery of new interests that pique your attention. Taking an analytics course, for example, if you work in a non-programming industry, may pique your interest in data. Learning about marketing may create new doors and opportunities for someone who works in a technical industry.
It helps you to discover new talents. It’s practically hard to foresee your complete professional path or imagine where you’ll be in ten years. Learning something new might reveal a hidden skill or introduce you to a new field in which you thrive. As a consequence, your career will have new prospects.
