Today’s workplace is in a state of constant change.

What can you do today to keep up with tomorrow’s changes?

The answer is lifelong learning. Continuously gaining new job skills is key if you want to meet the demands of the ever-changing workplace. There are a few different ways you can go about it:

  • Upskilling - Learning additional skills
  • Reskilling - Learning new skills
  • New Skilling – Constantly learning to help develop high-demand skills

Interested in advancing in your career?
Upskilling will strengthen the skills and deepen the knowledge you already have within your field of expertise.

Are you changing careers?
Reskilling will provide you with a new set of skills to prepare you for a position in a new domain. This may involve obtaining a new degree, certification or training in a different field or field of expertise.

Want to future-proof your skills?
New skilling is an ongoing process of honing skills in order to create entirely new capabilities. This may be done through upskilling, reskilling, or a combination of the two.

Wherever you are in your career path, UNB’s College of Extended Learning can help meet your continuing education needs.
