If your thinking about becoming an epos engineer and changing career paths or wanting to improve your skills in a current job position, upskilling can offer huge development opportunities as an employee.
Learning new skills and improving in key areas that are necessary to move up the career ladder in the engineering fields will allow you to progress in your particular discipline and build a expert network group.
In this blog, we’ll be delving into the best practices for creating the perfect upskilling strategy.
If you’re not sure where to focus on upskilling your epos engineering career, you can use a skills assessment test. Online tools can give you a self-assessment in which you can figure out what critical skills you need to improve, or where you can brush up on things that employers are looking for in candidates.
Employers are always on the lookout for candidates with previous experience and practical knowledge about their industry. Hands-on experience is necessary because while complex theories can be learnt it’s crucial you have the ability to apply these theories to difficult and sometimes challenging situations.
There are several ways for epos engineers to gain valuable hands-on experience:
Once the assessments are done, it’s good for you to identify the core goals that you want to achieve to close the skill gaps. There could be two kinds of goals – the short-term goals that aim to close the immediate gaps, and the long-term goals to achieve a specific outcome such as working towards a leadership role.
Ensuring your goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant to your job role, and time-bound. This will help both yourself and your employer to remain on track and up to date.
