Congratulations! By reading this we guess you must be considering re-training to work in a different industry - that means you've already taken one more step than the majority. Less of us than you'd think are content with our jobs, but no action is ever taken. You could be a member of the few who take responsibility for their future.
With regard to individual courses, find an expert who can talk you through the right type of training for you. Someone who can get an understanding of your personality, and find out what types of work suit you:
* Do you want to interact with other people? If you say yes, are you a team player or are you hoping to meet new people? Or are you better working in isolation?
* Do you have a preference which market sector you would be suited to? (These days, it's even more crucial to choose carefully.)
* Is this the final time you imagine you'll re-train, and based on that, do you suppose your new career will service that need?
* Do you have the assurance that your chosen retraining is commercially viable, and will offer the chance to allow you to work up to the time you want to stop?
Look at Information Technology, that will be time well spent - unusually, it's one of the growth areas in the UK and Europe. In addition, salaries and benefits exceed most other industries.
Getting into your first IT role can be a little easier if you're offered a Job Placement Assistance service. Don't get overly impressed with this service - it's easy for training companies to overplay it. At the end of the day, the still growing need for IT personnel in the United Kingdom is what will make you attractive to employers.
Advice and support about getting interviews and your CV should be offered (alternatively, check out one of our sites for help). Be sure to you polish up your CV immediately - not after you've qualified! It's not uncommon to find that junior support roles have been bagged by people who are in the process of training and have yet to take their exams. At the very least this will get you into the 'maybe' pile of CV's - rather than the 'No' pile. Actually, a specialist locally based employment service - who make their money when they've found you a job - will perform better than any sector of a centralised training facility. They should, of course, also be familiar with local industry and the area better.
Just be sure that you don't conscientiously work through your course materials, then call a halt and leave it up to everyone else to secure your first position. Stand up for yourself and get out there. Put the same time and energy into finding your new role as you did to get trained.
You should remember: the training program or an accreditation is not what you're looking for; the career you're training for is. Far too many training organisations completely prioritise the qualification itself. It's an awful thing, but thousands of new students commence training that sounds great in the syllabus guide, but which provides a job that is of no interest at all. Talk to many college students and you'll see where we're coming from.
It's essential to keep your focus on where you want to go, and create a learning-plan from that - not the other way round. Stay focused on the end-goal and ensure that you're training for something you'll enjoy for years to come. Before you embark on a learning program, it's good advice to discuss specific market requirements with a skilled professional, to be absolutely sure the learning course covers all that is required.
How can job security really exist anymore? In a marketplace like the UK, where industry can change its mind at alarming speeds, it seems increasingly unlikely. Whereas a quickly growing market-place, where there just aren't enough staff to go round (due to an enormous shortfall of fully trained workers), opens the possibility of real job security.
Looking at the computing business, a recent e-Skills study highlighted a 26 percent skills deficit. Basically, we only have the national capacity to fill three out of each four job positions in Information Technology (IT). This single reality alone highlights why the United Kingdom desperately needs considerably more new trainees to join the Information Technology market. It's unlikely if a better time or market circumstances is ever likely to exist for getting certified in this hugely growing and evolving sector.
Commercial qualifications are now, most definitely, starting to replace the traditional academic paths into the IT sector - so why is this the case? Industry now recognises that for an understanding of the relevant skills, proper accreditation from the likes of Microsoft, CompTIA, CISCO and Adobe often is more effective in the commercial field - and a fraction of the cost and time. This is done by concentrating on the skills that are really needed (alongside a proportionate degree of background knowledge,) as opposed to trawling through all the background non-specific minutiae that degree courses often do (because the syllabus is so wide).
What if you were an employer - and you wanted someone who could provide a specific set of skills. Which is the most straightforward: Pore through loads of academic qualifications from graduate applicants, trying to establish what they know and which commercial skills they've acquired, or choose a specific set of accreditations that precisely match your needs, and then select who you want to interview from that. The interview is then more about the person and how they'll fit in - rather than on the depth of their technical knowledge.About the Author:
