As the world moves forward technologically at a faster than ever before pace, professional skill development is becoming ever more important.
Life-long professional development is necessity for both career satisfaction and job security. For job security, it is important to keep up with changing trends. This means ensuring skills, qualifications, and tech know-how remain up-to-date.
Not doing so leaves a person at risk of skills becoming obsolete, throwing a person’s career in jeopardy. This could create difficulties in case you need to change jobs or find a new job.
Therefore, it is important to actively take the steps to learn about developments taking place in one’s profession and in the world at large.
You may need to constantly answer questions like:
- What new skills are being used in the workplace (skill requirements for new hires in jobs similar to yours)?
- What technological developments are happening that you should learn?
- What alternate career paths exist that could require learning new skills?
Regularly update skills through continuous professional education to avoid sudden surprises.
