People in the workforce are opting to study online
Undertaking some form of study is always admirable and shows that you want to up-skill yourself and further your career.
But for a lot of people, they are already working and are not able to stop in order to study full time, on campus at university or TAFE.
That’s why many people in the workforce are opting to study online, giving them the ability to, not only study an area of interest and relevance to their career, but also have a flexible learning schedule to work around their work and life commitments.
But if this hasn’t convinced you yet, OEDB.org lists some benefits of studying online:
- Variety of programs and courses
- Lower total costs
- More comfortable learning environment
- Convenience and flexibility
- More interaction and greater ability to concentrate
- Career advancement
- Continue in your profession
- Avoid commuting
- Improve your technical skills
- Transfer credits
Similarly, elearningindustry.com also lists some benefits to studying online:
- You can learn whatever you want!
- Comfort
- Online courses look great on a resume
- Self-paced learning
- Lower costs
But with all this being said, you still have choose an institute or other education provider that offers online study and courses you’re interested in.
And, depending on your interests, the one you choose is very important. For example, if you work in hospitality, undertaking studies in line with food prep, drinks, and proper hygiene practices would be best.
Similarly, if you work in retail, business, or anything to do with interacting with a wider public, customer service and management studies would be best, somewhat like the ones nationaltraining.com provide.
But which ever way you go, online studies is an excellent option and can certainly provide you with as much skill and knowledge as attending the campus of a traditional university or other educational institute.
