Demand for upskilling on the rise

Course providers of every type are poised to benefit from a new trend sweeping through the labour market: upskilling.
 
Recent news has revealed that unemployment is continuing to creep ever upward, but there is an awareness among the general public that upskilling, i.e. learning new skills or improving on existing ones, is the best way to avoid the dole qeue.

A well-chosen part time course, whether in the evening, daytime, weekend or at home by distance learning, can provide anyone with job security, promotion or the means to enter into an entirely new career. Exhibitors at Which Course Expo 2011 will have the opportunity to meet thousands of adult learners seeking to improve their career prospects by upskilling. People are no longer happy to wait for their employer to suggest a course, they are taking matters firmly into their own hands.

So the demand is undoubtedly there, course providers just need to meet it. This applies not just to traditional areas of upskilling, i.e. business or management courses, but to all aspects of adult education. From arts & humanities to health & beauty, languages to volunteering, the public are seeking skills and careers in a labour market that is increasingly diverse and fragmented after the collapse of the construction industry.

So whatever your area of expertise, exhibiting at Which Course Expo 2011 is a great opportunity. Just make sure that you have all your information at the ready regarding how upskilling at your college represents a boost to career prospects!
