Boundaryless Skills and Careers

Description

The term ‘job for life’ is becoming less relevant and less achievable in today’s society. Rapid technological advancements, flattened hierarchies and decreased job stability due to financial meltdown have all contributed towards a shift in how we perceive and navigate our career paths. On average, a person will change career 5-7 times during their working life. This course is perfect for individuals who are considering a particular career path or career change.
