Everything You Need to Know About Continuing Education

In a world in constant evolution, where skills must be constantly updated, continuing education is an essential lever. Whether it is a question of improving skills, retraining, developing one's professional life or improving the competitiveness of businesses, it plays a key role.

What is continuing education?

Continuing education includes all the devices that enable professionals to acquire new skills or to update their knowledge throughout their career. Unlike initial training, which is mainly aimed at students during their studies, before they start working life, continuing education is aimed at working people: employees, self-employed people or people in retraining who want to implement a new professional project.

With the acceleration of technological and economic changes, continuing education is becoming a real asset in order to remain competitive and adapt to market changes. It can take various forms: online courses, face-to-face training, professional certifications or even self-training via LMS platforms.

Who is continuing education intended for?

Continuing education is aimed at several profiles:

• Employees: A good employee training allows them to increase their skills, to evolve in their position, or to retrain.

• Job seekers: in order to strengthen their employability and access new professional opportunities.

• Freelancers and entrepreneurs: to update their knowledge and develop their business.

• Employers: who want to train their teams to improve productivity and overall business performance.
