Ormonde Business School: Upskilling for the up-turn
Further education, training and upskilling is the key to success, career development and economic recovery.
Without a doubt the last number of years have proved challenging for professionals at all levels and as a result, many employees have been content to focus on ensuring they are performing to the best of their ability within their current positions. The hiatus on recruitment that has been experienced by many sectors is slowly beginning to ebb and as a result there will be a number of knock-on effects that both employers and employees need be aware of to ensure their long-term success.
As we move into the early stages of recovery, many employees are once again beginning to consider further developing their career, either through upskilling with the support of their current employer or potentially with a view to securing a more challenging position elsewhere. Concurrently, many professionals will be competitively returning to the workforce after unemployment, many of whom will have used this period to upskill and retrain.
It is undoubtedly a competitive marketplace for employees at the moment and therefore in order to be at the top of your profession and maximise on your career potential, for many, further education is the key to success. Now more than ever Ormonde Business School recognise the demand for employment-focused qualifications for graduate and post graduate students at all levels.
As a result Ormonde Business School has developed a tight portfolio of employment-relevant full-time, part-time and online programmes in subjects such as accounting, business, marketing and management, IT and communications etc. All are delivered in a proven and highly successful student-centred, teacher delivery system which provides a high level of personal support to ensure each participant reaches their potential.
Employers in turn need to recognise that through times of both growth and recession, their most valuable asset is their workforce and so adequate consideration should be given to ensure that each and every employee receives adequate training and ongoing development and support. When employees leave, employers are faced with the cost of rehiring and retraining new staff as well as the potential loss of knowledge and skills which can have a very real impact on overall productivity.
By consciously addressing the potential of each employee and maximising on their skills and aptitudes you can also more effectively and efficiently ensure the growth of your company. At the Ormonde Business School, across both our Dublin and Tullamore sites, some of the corporate courses that have proven to be the most popular in the last year are the FETAC accredited Train the Trainer and web design part-time courses which prove to be far more cost effective than outsourcing these roles on a regular basis.
The importance of education is evident in every aspect of society and in this competitive environment both employers and employees all need to be looking to the future and planning ahead for success.
