New Skills Academy the leading UK provider of online education announces a range of new courses in retail banking and IT skills. In answer to a skills shortage in the retail banking and IT support spaces, New Skills Academy has developed a number of new courses in association with several large recruitment companies who lead in these sectors. The recruitment and staffing companies could access large pools of potential candidates but there were significant skills shortages to fulfill many of the open vacancies. In an effort to alleviate the skills shortfall and help reduce long-term unemployment, a number of specific courses have been created.

According to a spokesperson for New Skills Academy, "Here is the dilemma. The longer someone remains unemployed, the more difficult it is for them to return to work. According to the World Economic Forum, essential life and work skills are eroded and self-confidence is drained by the real and perceived difficulties in securing new job opportunities."New Skills Academy

Those who are underemployed or long term unemployed often feel that they have limited or no opportunities to return to full employment. (Source: weforum.org) Often that is the reality too.

Many people are conditioned to think within the confines of employment and being employed by others. Many think that not much consideration is given to creating opportunities for self-employment. The traditional education regime promotes the employment path and working for others. There is little emphasis placed on self-employment or helping to develop the skills required to establish or support a small business.

Very often these same groups of underemployed and unemployed people wrongly believe they don’t have the skills, experience, knowledge or resources to create their own opportunities. Maybe in some cases that is true. But even where it is true - something can still do something to change that.

In the past, to acquire new skill and knowledge required getting a job to access that education or training. Or returning to the traditional education system. Today things are different. Organizations such as New Skills Academy, an online training and online education company in the UK, are helping to change this. Online learning is helping tens of thousands of people to re-skill, up-skill, obtain new knowledge and rebuild their self-confidence. This fast-growing industry is leading a large number of people to enter the world of self-employment and entrepreneurship.

Chris Morgan, New Skills Academy CEO, says, “It’s exciting to see how many of our students succeed in creating their own new ventures in a wide range of businesses. Upon completing their courses, we’ve seen past students establish their own small businesses in areas such as dog grooming, nail artists and personal training to name a few.”

Online learning provides a flexible and often very affordable way to acquire new skills and knowledge. Access to education is rarely a real barrier to returning to work or improving career opportunities. But it’s understandable that middle-aged and older people can be reluctant to return to traditional classroom education. Fear of feeling out of place. Fear of being a slow learner. Fear of feeling inadequate and being ‘left behind’ are all common feelings and completely understandable.

Online learning with organizations such as New Skills Academy helps to reduce or eliminate these fears. Online education makes it easy for anyone to access educational opportunities that will help them build confidence and skills.

Education improves job prospects and self-employment opportunities.

Undertaking and completing a job-related course, online or in a classroom, demonstrates the willingness and ability to learn. It demonstrates to employers that a person is an action taker who is actively trying to better themselves. This can only be seen as a positive signal by hiring employers.

Alternatively, someone who feels trapped in a job they no longer enjoy can acquire new knowledge and skills to enable themselves to change career or take the leap into self-employment. Very often, people who have a passion for something unrelated to their career can start a successful small business by following that passion. Pet grooming, health and fitness, and beauty are just a few of the fields of business where there are high levels of local demand and opportunity awaits.
