It is becoming increasingly evident that the modern career is evolving into a journey of continuous learning. A single qualification is not ‘all you need’ to progress.
Make professional development a high priority, now and in the new year. Let it be that practical solution that brings you the best returns with minimal risks. Whether you are an employee or an employer, here are three reasons why you should invest in professional development in 2020:
Demonstrates your will to improve.
Taking the initiative to undertake ongoing professional development showcases your ability to recognise and act upon your limitations. It is also a quality that will always be looked upon favourably in the workplace. If you are confused about where to start, skills like change management, emotional intelligence and strategic thinking are transferrable to a variety of careers.

Don’t allow yourself to be left behind while the world advances and dives into exciting domains.
Professional development is an investment that will keep your capability relevant and up-to-date with the latest workplace trends in and outside Australia. This new year, let it be your new priority.
