As we work in a profession and become more knowledgeable, we realize there is so much more to learn. We also may find that as work life changes, we may experience changes in our interests, career goals, and industry expectations which make continuing our education a necessity.
It is through continuing our education that we create buy-in for the values and beliefs in work culture. We learn about the values and ethical behaviors required to be successful in a chosen career path.
Updated skills make you relevant and engaged.
Continuing education allows you to network with other professionals developing useful connections.
Workers who feel prepared and able to contribute, find they have greater job satisfaction, rate mental health higher and tend to stay in their chosen field. This is not only good for the employee, but also their employer.
New learning is especially important for workers who have been downsized or replaced by automation.
Professional and personal success and satisfaction is achieved through dedicating resources to further develop skills. This can be done through badges, certificates and/or workshops. Commit to being a life-long learner to upskill your resume and career toolkit. UW Oshkosh Continuing Education on the Oshkosh, Fox Cities and Fond du Lac campuses offer in-person and online offerings in synchronous or asynchronous environment to be flexible for the working adult.
