When you've been made redundant from your job, or you're trying to get back into work after being out of employment for a while (eg when you've been raising children) it's a good idea to sign up for some training courses as soon as possible.

If you're registered as unemployed, you can often get training courses at a reduced rate, or even free.

Education and training

To make sure that you keep your skills up-to-date, you need to undertake regular training (sometimes called 'professional development').

It's always a good idea to consult your employer about training courses - often they will pay for you to attend courses that are relevant to your job.
 
However, there may be times when you need to arrange (and pay for) your own training courses, for example if you're looking to change careers, or you want to learn some new skills that are not directly relevant to your job.
