Research from Skillnet Ireland highlights just how important continued learning has become for employees and their careers. As skills requirements change across industries, professionals are increasingly recognising the value of updating their knowledge and developing new capabilities alongside their existing experience.
Skillnet Ireland is the national workforce development agency of Ireland.
The research found that 90% of employees believe upskilling and reskilling are important for their professional success, while 87% have undertaken formal or informal upskilling within the past year. Even more strikingly, 96% of employees say that learning a new skill is essential or important for their career.
For people looking to keep developing professionally, part-time and evening courses can provide a practical way to learn without stepping away from work. Nightcourses.com brings together thousands of courses from colleges and training providers across Ireland, covering professional development, technology, business, healthcare, languages, creative subjects and many other areas.
Learning does not always mean committing to another full qualification. A short course can help develop a specific skill, while a longer programme may support a career change or progression into a more senior role. The important thing is finding an option that matches your goals, availability and current experience.
With the research showing such strong demand for continued skills development, there has rarely been a better time to consider what you could learn next.
