According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), more than one billion jobs are likely to be transformed by technology in the next decade. That means many people may need to master new technical skills or even consider changing career paths.

The process of learning new skills to move onto a new role is called reskilling. Reskilling programs can help professionals navigate through this challenging journey by providing well-structured learning materials and career counseling.
