Brush Up On Your Job Skills For Free
As a senior finding my way back into the workforce after several years of retirement, I found that I needed to brush up on some of my skills. When you don’t use those skills on a day to day basis, not only do some of them change at a rapid pace (think software changes and updates) we also tend to forget some of it. Being on a limited income, I needed to find a legitimate source of education where I could brush up on my job skills for free.
What if I told you that you could choose from 5000+ online courses that are FREE?
Courses on subjects such as, IT, Health, Language, Business, Management, English, Personal Development, Sales & Marketing, Engineering & Construction, Teaching & Academics, all for free.
Certificate and Diploma Courses
Many of these courses are certificate and diploma courses. Once you take and pass the course, this is perfect to add this skill set to your resume so prospective employers can see that you keep up with continuous learning and updated technologies.
Where do you find this goldmine? You can find it here. The webpage will open in a new window.
These are all online courses that can be taken at your own pace and from the comfort of your own home.
I have personally taken some of these courses and continue to do so. (I especially enjoyed the Microsoft Office courses such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint!) The courses and the website are 100% legitimate.
If you decide to take some courses for Microsoft Office and do not have a paid subscription for it, you can use it online, for free. Read our article on using Microsoft Office for free here.Â
Enjoy and happy learning!
