When you're in the workforce, it can be a bit of a challenge to keep up on your skills. You already know the skills you need to perform your job, but what about the skills you need to advance?
The first place to go if you want to learn additional skills should be your employer. Most jobs offer training or tuition reimbursement for their employees as long as it's related to the job or industry they are in.
If that isn't an option or you're looking to change careers, look at what's available in your community. You might be able to take a class at a community college or learning center at minimal cost compared to going to a university. If you are looking to change careers, you may need to assess what the education and skills requirements are for that career and respond accordingly.
You may also find online courses that you can do in your own time that might be helpful. Whether you want to improve your computer skills, learn software, or enhance your writing skills, there is a variety of options to choose from. You will want to do your research and make sure they have a guarantee in case you find the online classroom environment isn't for you.
By improving on your skills, you increase your chances of being promoted and staying current on the latest software and trends. This can be valuable both in your current position and any future endeavors you decide to take on.
