When you're not working it can be a challenge to stay current on your work skills. If you need to learn new skills because you're looking to change careers, it can also be difficult to find the time to learn something new.
If time or money is a concern, reach out to your network to see if any of your friends or colleagues can help you with your work skills. Maybe you have a friend who works in accounting and you need help with learning Microsoft Excel. Ask them if they can spare an hour or two to show you the basics.
If you are looking for help with a software program, look in the help section of the program. Some will have free tutorials built into the system.
If you've signed up with an employment agency, ask them about training. A lot of these agencies provide free training to individuals who have registered with them. If you're not working, check with your local unemployment office. They can also provide you with free or reduced-cost resources for training.
Community colleges are also a great option for staying current on work skills. Also, do a search on Google and look for adult education centers or learning centers in your area. These can often be a lot less expensive than a regular college and you may find a wider variety of courses to choose from.
