The company I work for used to be very generous about training, but it has cut back severely. But I can’t do it on my own, what with taking a pay reduction and working longer hours after layoffs. I don’t want to be left behind in skills. What can I do? It is absolutely critical that you continue to invest in yourself to remain relevant in your business. Do not let your company’s lack of funds be a barrier to advancing your career.
There are four types of training that do not cost much. The first of these can be found on the Web. Many of the offerings there present opportunities for real skills building.
