Never stop growing your skills and your career – but make sure you get started somewhere!
The most important career message to all South African learners is to continue investing in themselves, their skills and their careers, says Kerry Damons of Boston City Campus & Business College, the award-winning private higher education institution.
“Never stop growing your skills and your career because that has a large impact on your quality of life, and that of your loved ones,” she reiterates.
What are the obvious benefits of tertiary education? That would be getting better work opportunities, and having more to offer when new opportunities arise.
“When you look at something like the occupational skills, the benefits to both the learner as well as to the employer is huge,” says Damons. Occupational skills help you get work ready. When you complete a bookkeeping course, you hit the ground running in the office, ready to tackle a set of books. You are armed with the skills and do not need the employer to spend weeks training you for your new job. You are able to contribute straight away to the new work place.
In addition, you begin earning, and from there you can continue to grow your career with either occupational modules, or with higher education, such as a degree, should your life plan be to complete a degree. When you invest in growing your skills and your career, you show that you believe in yourself. You become also a great role model.
For those ready to make the commitment – go in and see a Boston counsellor who can assist you to find the most appropriate occupational or Higher Education course. The advantage of applying and registering now? You will pay 2017 fees in 2018 – you will avoid any kind of fee increase.
Boston will commit to this for any students who registers before the end of November 2017. Also, you will know that you have a place to study next year – both great comforts in this tenuous educational environment.
