Skills for work

The world of work is constantly changing, both in how and where people work, the types of jobs that are emerging and in the skills that are required to enter, adapt and thrive in employment.

Many people find today’s rapid changes challenging, especially as digital skills become increasingly essential. With more than 80% of job adverts now requiring some level of digital confidence, you may feel the need to learn new skills or refresh the ones you already have to move forward in your career.

Life transitions can also bring both opportunities and pressures. You might be returning to work after maternity leave or another break. You may be exploring a new career path after redundancy, or looking for a role that better fits your health needs or caring responsibilities. Whatever your situation, developing your confidence and skills can help you take your next step.
