5 courses that will help you upskill

According to a survey, approximately 92% of Indian employees acknowledge that there is a skill gap in the country and that they must upskill in order to compete for jobs. Employee training programmes are no longer just a perk; they are required in order to remain competitive. Companies must ensure that top talent is aware of current trends, new industry developments, and has access to cutting-edge technology.

Career stagnation is a common issue for professionals who have been in their respective fields for a few years. In this case, enrolling for a course in their own field, a specialisation, or a new field that they wish to enter is the best option. A course like this will allow them to gain a better understanding of the field, improve or upgrade their skills, learn about the most recent tools, techniques, and methods, and so on. As a result, they will be an invaluable resource to any organization in which they are involved.

We’ve compiled a list of the top 5 weekend courses for working professionals from top-tier companies to help you upskill your technical skills, which may be just what you need to tackle your new normal head-on.
