Ongoing learning post COVID
To keep yourself relevant and up to date all workforce participants need to undertake continuous formal training and self-improvement.
Don't wait until your boss suggests some training etc....do it yourself to keep your employability skills at current standards. Pay for it yourself, invest your after-hours time...it is your personal insurance policy against redundancy or failing to get that all-important promotion and pay rise.
Developing a professional development/training plan is your first step.
Professional assistance to research and identify the correct retraining or upskilling options and career pathways is essential. Get it wrong and you may not have a job, career or income in the not too distant future.
ACMA's Advanced Vocational Assessment program is the ideal solution to managing your near term career needs and pathways by providing two detailed reports of actions and options available to you...don't wait until it is too late and opportunities have bypassed you.
Whilst there are many study options on the internet, how do you know what is the best or most relevant to your career future. Be wary of universities, TAFE's and RTO's selling certificate, diploma or degree courses. Unfortunately, many of these organisations are simply "fee driven" and in our experience will tell prospective students virtually anything to sign them up.
Many students have paid thousands of dollars to complete a course only to ultimately find that there are very limited job opportunities available...if any ("I wish I had known that four years ago" is their common lament).
ACMA's Module 1 Assessment process is very detailed and will take most people a week to complete (online). Nevertheless, once a client has completed these assessments, we then have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the person covering skills, competencies, education, experience, work history, strengths, weaknesses, aspirations, career goals, personal circumstances, personality and much more...
In the 21st century, it is now up to you, unlike last century when the "boss provided training".
ACMA creates successful career paths through detailed individual assessment, research and job market analysis, combined with expert personalised coaching.
Note: A Career Development Association of Australia research paper found that when professional career guidance occurred that the participant was 2.67 times more likely to secure a job.
All program services can be delivered via our interactive online cloud-based career management "Career Talk" system and/or "one-on-one" in our Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Melbourne, Cairns or Auckland offices.
