Take a Class After a Job Loss

Taking a class or two can help reignite your career and make your resume stand out.

There are a number of reasons to consider taking a class before or during a job change:

  • A single class can be a great way to explore whether a new career field is right for you.
  • Updating even one skill can help you stand out from the crowd when applying for your next job.
  • Learning a new skill can energize career and your outlook on life.

To find a skill that can advance your career, visit CareerOneStop's Tools & Technology tool. You can search for your occupation and get a list of common tools and technology used on the job. If you have less skill in an area than you'd like, consider a class in that area.

Is there a skill that you've always wanted to learn or improve? Check with your local school district to find short-term community education classes. Or find many types of courses across the state on the Courses Search page. You may also want to consider online learning.
