Types of Skill Development
In the workplace, there are three main types of skill development:
- Up-skilling: Improving your skills in your current role
- Cross-skilling: Learn new skills for your current role
- Re-skilling: Learning new skills so you can move to a new role
However, you don’t have to be part of a workplace program to develop your skills further. You might be a college learner working towards a degree, unhappy with your current job, wanting to apply to a new company, or desiring a promotion. You can also develop your skills for personal reasons, such as improving your confidence or improving a hobby you enjoy.
