20 August 2020
IN the current global climate, it's important to diversify your skill set in order to stand out from the crowd. By equipping yourself with the necessary skills, you can expand your job opportunities, enter a new business venture, or even move towards the forefront of your field.
As companies use this time to evaluate their growth strategies, Malaysian employees should also take this opportunity to narrow the skills gap and boost their employability. After all, candidates who have niche technical skills are highly sought after by today's employers. For instance, if you plan to work in the digital industry, it's always best to stay up to date with skills such as UI/UX design, content marketing, and basic programming.
UPSKIL.my, powered by education technology platform OpenLearning, is the newest online portal hosting a collection of high-quality, skills-based courses and programmes that are catered for Malaysians.
There's something for everyone, such as learning how to design your very own Snapchat lens and even Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia. From short courses and microcredentials, to certificate programmes and digital workshops—it is the go-to place for those who want to advance their careers, find new employment or gain new skills.
BENEFITS OF ONLINE LEARNING
Online courses have become increasingly popular, as they are much more advantageous than e-books or even video tutorials on YouTube. For instance, you can showcase your skills and achievements through your unique OpenLearning Portfolio. Your Portfolio allows you to easily compile certification, microcredentials and digital badges to feature on your CV or LinkedIn profile as proof of your competence, and to stand out from your competitors.
Additionally, online courses are flexible in the sense that you can enrol in any programme that piques your interest, with just a click. You can also complete your courses at a time and place that suits you best. As a learner on OpenLearning, you will have lifetime access to course content for all the courses you are enrolled in, for you to refer to at any time.
Enrolling in an online course on UPSKIL.my is a social learning experience because it allows you to interact with facilitators and other learners, both local and international, by working on projects together, thus building lasting connections.
"I started working at the start of this year, and I've been wanting to adapt to the work environment efficiently. The effective way to communicate with my boss, officemates and clients all are covered here," says fresh graduate Khairunnisa Kamarudin who completed the Interpersonal and Human Relations online course. She thanks UPSKIL.my for offering compact and impactful learning.
UPSKIL.my has a huge variety of courses and are now offering 10% off course fees with the promo code UPSKILNOW.
UPSKIL.my isn't only for learners, but also creators, educators, and freelance trainers.
