NC-Tec Training Can Help You Make a Positive Career Move
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many parts of our lives. One major impact has been in our work.
Many people were laid off. Others lost jobs because businesses closed. And many more began to rethink their careers, seeking better opportunities for growth and advancement in a stable industry.
If you’re one of those people looking to make a change in their work, you’re not alone. According to a study by Prudential, 48% of working Americans are rethinking the type of work they want to do going forward. And a whopping 53% would consider an entirely new industry if they had access to training.
What are the top reasons for people wanting to make a move in their career?
- Compensation 50%
- Work-life balance 38%
- Limited growth opportunities 34%
According to Matt Weis of National Able Network, a workforce training program, the desire for a career shift comes down to desire for a better life.
“Some of these job-seekers may be thinking, ‘I shouldn’t have to take abuse. I shouldn’t have to work three jobs to make family-sustaining wage rates. I should be able to work one job where I can feasibly be relatively happy to go to work each day,’” he said.
