retraining

Retraining is the process of learning or teaching new skills, or known skills in new ways. Upskilling is the process of improving skills in a current role, whereas reskilling develops new skills for new roles. Retraining may be a business priority that companies or organizations conduct on a regular basis, in order to avoid personnel obsolescence due to technological changes, as well as to refresh the knowledge base of its personnel. Retraining may also indicate the repetition of a prior training.

Upskilling means acquiring new skills, or enhancing existing skills, to enhance job performance. Reskilling is the acquisition of new skills that may enable a pivot to a different career, or industry, in an evolving job market. Common methods of upskilling, or retraining, and reskilling include enrolling in online education resources, educational software, attending trade school programs, workplace training, on-the-job training, intelligent tutoring systems, or earning professional certifications. An October 2021 OECD case study report, Training in Enterprises, found that employers may offer reskilling resources in order to lessen the affects of layoffs and/or to demonstrate social responsibility. == Unemployment effects== Retraining older and younger workers alike to prepare for a changing workforce has lasting impacts on workers. Unemployed workers are at significantly greater risk for poor physical health, greater stress, alcoholism, marital problems and even suicide. Among young workers, beginning their careers with extended bouts of joblessness results in lower overall earnings and more unemployment throughout their careers. ==References== fr:Reconversion
