This lesson looks at upskilling: the practice of increasing, or adding to, your skillset in order to improve your effectiveness. Students will read an article on the subject and fill out a questionnaire aimed at identifying areas where they can improve. Exercises focus on related vocabulary, reading skills and students will have plenty of opportunity to discuss questions relating to the topic (by Joe Wilson).

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT
The challenge for modern-day employees is to evolve as the world is rapidly changing around them. You may not change, but the skills required to do your job will. In the last decade, automation has already had an impact on the number of jobs, and there are fears that this isn’t going to slow. Learning new skills allow workers to stay relevant and competitive, even in the faces of changes in their industry. It doesn’t have to be vastly time-consuming. Something such as improving your Word or Excel skills, or learning basic code, to make you more efficient is a start. Yet, investing in more up-to-date abilities is a good idea. A good starting point is job- specific skills, but personal skills are also worth looking into. For example, if you find it difficult to cope under pressure, you may want to look into self-management. Communication is another area worth considering. You may want to look at, not only how you express yourself, but also your ability to actively listen when others are talking and incorporate their feedback and ideas into what you do. With globalization, another fundamental skill these days is intercultural awareness. So, there are a variety of options for us to improve our working knowledge.
