Upskilling

What is Upskilling?

Upskilling is the process of teaching employees new competencies and advanced capabilities within their current role or career path to meet evolving job requirements.

Unlike reskilling, which prepares workers for entirely different roles, upskilling enhances existing skill sets to improve performance, adapt to technological change, or advance within a field. Organizations invest in upskilling through training programs, certifications, mentoring, and learning platforms to maintain workforce relevance as business needs evolve.

Upskilling benefits employees through career development and increased marketability while helping organizations retain talent, improve productivity, and build capability without external hiring. In rapidly changing environments, continuous upskilling has become essential for organizational adaptability and competitive advantage.
