Learning a new skill
Find out why learning new skills can help safeguard your career
More than half of workers were worried about their job prospects because of the economic downturn, according to new research today.
A survey of 2,000 adults by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) showed that one in two would now try to improve their career prospects through training.
Most of those polled admitted there was room for improvement in their skill levels, including IT, literacy and problem solving.
LSC chairman Chris Banks said: "It's true that learning new skills and retraining can lead to a refreshing career change, but it's also important to realise that employees with transferable skills are often seen as the biggest assets to employers.
"A small investment in learning new skills will make you better prepared to tackle any eventuality, particularly in a tough economy."
