Take a Class After a Job Loss

Taking just one or two classes 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 an excellent way to explore whether a new career field is right for you.
• Updating even one specific skill can help you stand out from the crowd when applying for your next job.
• Learning a new skill can reinvigorate your 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 there's something that you're less familiar with than you'd like to be, consider a class in that area.

Is there a skill that you've always wanted to learn or improve? Contact your local school district to find short-term community education classes. Or find many types of courses across Minnesota at ISEEK's Courses Search page. You might also consider Online Learning.
