Change is the only thing constant in the world. Ironic, but perhaps it bears some truth. In the year 2023, you may be thinking of what developments to bring into your life and profession.

Why not try to upskill?

In this article, learn why upskilling is important -and how to do it.

Why Should You Upskill Yourself?

Why Should You Upskill Yourself

Indeed, why is there ever a need to improve your skills when you already have them in the first place?

The answer is: there are many benefits when you upskill yourself.

First, upskilling brings you up to speed with the latest developments in your chosen profession. As previously mentioned, the world is constantly changing.

As such, new and refined methods are being discovered. If you don’t upskill, there is a possibility of being left out, especially among younger professionals.

Thus, you need to “update” your prior learnings with new ones.

In a way, you can think of upskilling as a way to “future-proof” your career.

Further, upskilling helps you advance on the corporate ladder. Apart from adding more competencies to your CV, newly learned skills prepare you for more senior roles within the organization.

So, where do you start? Learn how to upskill with five helpful steps.

How to Upskill?

It can be tricky to work and upskill at the same time.

Here are the steps on how to begin.

  1. Determine Your Goals

1 Determine Your Goals

Before looking into various online courses, you should first know what your specific goals are. What areas are you hoping to develop? Are you trying to upskill to change professions or to advance in your current field?

Questions like these are important because they determine your next steps.

  1. Evaluate Your Current Skill Level

2 Evaluate Your Current Skill Level

The next step in this process is to figure out your current skill level.

For example, if you are not too confident with speaking, yet you constantly have to face clients, you might want to improve your oral communication skills.

Or let’s say you want to expand your current SEO learnings so you can take on managerial roles.

Essentially, you want to review your skill level and see where you need to fill in the gaps. This also lets you augment your strengths.

It also helps you assess if your current skill set is enough to switch careers.

  1. Study In-Demand Skills

3 Study In-Demand Skills

One of the reasons why many people upskill is they want to position themselves better in companies.

Thus, be sure to do your research on what jobs are hot in the market.

For instance, data scientists, machine learning and software engineers, marketing analysts, and project managers are some roles that are forecasted to be in demand in 2023.

Make sure that the skill you want to learn or improve is helpful to advancing your career.

  1. Start Enrolling in Online Upskill Courses

4 Start Enrolling in Online Upskill Courses

There are many platforms, such as Coursera and Udemy, where you can earn certifications after completing each course.

Many of these classes are free, although some also require payment.

  1. Apply Your New Skills

5 Apply Your New Skills

Lastly (and perhaps the most important step), put your newly acquired skills into use!

Try to look for opportunities where you can apply your recent learnings, either in your current job or in another field.

Overall, upskilling may have become a buzzword within the corporate world. Still, it is useful for many, especially those who want to develop their careers and stay on top of their game.
