Your career coach: interesting reading - The importance of further training

Research has shown that those who undertake further training and up-skilling achieve their career goals faster than those who do not.

Training has much broader and more significant implications than simply gaining knowledge. The following are as important (if not more important) as the knowledge you learn:

ü  the growth in your confidence about your area of expertise and crucially you job mobility..

ü  the difference in how others perceive you. When you opt to develop yourself, your new expertise will be noticed by your boss, your team, your organisation. You are taken more seriously and admired for your conscientiousness. In many cases give you a voice and an influence that you previously did not have. Of key importance here is your manager and anyone else inside or outside your organisation who can help to accelerate your career transformation plans.

Essentially further learning : 

ü  open doors to you

ü  gives you wider options to choose from

ü  makes you feel better about yourself

ü  helps you achieve your career aims
