Prepare your skills for work in the future

Welcome to Your Future Impact online mini-courses which have been designed to help you develop your employability skills.

In the near future, in 3 or 4 years, up to 65% of jobs will be new to the world of work. Technology is shaking things up and rewriting the way we do business. Coronavirus has only accelerated those trends.

Preparing yourself for jobs where we don't know what they will be and with new skills requirements, means taking a completely new approach to planning your future. Knowing where you are going, in terms of your qualification route and gaining vital work skills, will help you to be prepared for a range of the new jobs as they are created. Helping you to be ahead of these developments, is why this course was created.

This programme is the second in the series and looks at the topic of Qualifications and Vital Work Skills. It is designed to get you to ask questions about your skills, what skills and qualifications you need to improve on and how to go about doing this.
