Take a Step: Make Every day A Learning Day With LLI
Learning is a lifelong process. The world is constantly evolving, and so are the economies around the world, and the jobs and skills in-demand that the workforce requires. In fact, one study by the Institute for the Future projected that 85% of jobs that will exist in 2030 do not currently exist yet.
Add to that the impacts of the current pandemic that has seen many people being displaced from their jobs. While sectors like retail, F&B, and live entertainment are hard hit, yet others like healthcare, IT services, and e-commerce are thriving. Those who have suffered retrenchments or pay cuts in affected businesses are increasingly turning towards entering different industries which offer a better hope of job stability and progression.
As such, it is increasingly important that people engage in lifelong learning to refresh their skills to remain relevant. Whether it is going back to school, taking online classes, or attending industry-specific courses and workshops, it is good to find a way to incorporate at least one of them into your life periodically for your personal and career development.
Wondering how else you can stay up-to-date with in-demand skills in today’s evolving markets and pandemic situation? The Lifelong Learning Institute (LLI) is one of the continuing education and training campuses in Singapore at which you can find plenty of assistance to do just that.
