Acquiring new skills can help you succeed in your current role and progress in your career.
You can gain valuable industry skills through ongoing education, mentoring and experience. Developing your skills shows dedication to your career and may help you perform at higher levels or move between industries.
 
Here are some examples of why acquiring new skills is important:
  • Enhances self-confidence
When you develop new skills or enhance your existing skills, you may enjoy greater self-esteem and feel more confident in your ability to perform. Experiencing a boost in confidence can help you become more efficient in your job and more comfortable seeking new opportunities.
  • Development of a stronger resume
Your resume is a document that sells your skills to potential employers. Continued professional development helps you present a stronger case to employers about your fit for a role and your ability to serve their organisation. The greater your skill proficiency, the more likely you are to attain the roles you want.
  • Extending your job responsibilities
A way to extend your current role is to show your employer you've enhanced your current skills and are ready for greater responsibility. You may be able to take on more challenging or interesting projects, gaining valuable experience with your new abilities.
