Introduction
Continuing education may be referred to as any effort
made by an individual to learn something new to either acquire more knowledge or
enhance his or her skills. Continuing education is term that can apply to
anything that adds to your previously attained education from enrolling for a
degree program to attending a workshop that focuses on a particular skill. Even
a feedback from a manager to his staff for improving his or her performance can
be considered as continuing education for the staff member.
Continuing
Education for professionals
The term continuing education applies more to
professionals than anyone else. Any working professional today is bound to go
through the process of continuing education on one or several occasions in a
career. There was a time when people spent their entire career doing the same
job for years; they too may have undergone some level of continuing education in
adapting to new methods of doing the job or changes in technology. Getting a
professional certification is one of the aspects of continuing education for a
modern-day professional. The various professional fields have their own
certifications that can be acquired by passing related tests that prove the
competency of an individual in a particular field or skill. On-the-job training
is yet another form of continuing education for working professionals. This
means nothing but learning newer things at your workplace while doing your
existing job mostly in order to get a promotion or to move to a different job
profile within the same organization. On-the-job training is completely
dependent on the initiatives taken by an individual to his development. Several
corporate offices also have a dedicated learning department that arranges for
workshops and on. Cheap
