South Africans in the 21st century have seen a significant change in the culture of their workforce as we have moved towards a major shift in the dynamics of the family unit. There is now a growing need to have both male and female breadwinners in order to maintain a household.
According to the Mail and Guardian Online, the Corporate Research Foundation Institute's Top Employer Research in 2012 states that 68% of companies have reported a shortage of professional skills2.
A solution to this recurring issue is for individuals to seek ways to upskill themselves.
How do you do that?
Part-time courses are the perfect solution to accommodate your lifestyle.
Do you manage your house as a full-time career?
Then you too can study part time and set up a small business, earning a valuable income and contributing to your household.
Along with having a full-time job, there is a need to develop your education as well, so that you stand a better chance to succeed, which ultimately leads to better prospects.
In order for you to reach that desired income bracket, you will have to become one of the thousands of South Africans who study part time.
Have all the experience, but no paperwork?
Part-time studies offer you the solution to maximise on the skills you have mastered by studying and obtaining certified paperwork. Be it a skilled passion for dressmaking or hairdressing, why not take your career to new heights and receive a qualification?
