Almost three quarters of people say they are planning to change their careers…but one in four never will because they don’t know what they really want to do, according to research from the Careers Advice Service.
The research also shows that 71 per cent think the best way to keep their career moving forward is through gaining a new qualification. Other reasons for people wanting to change career include a desire to learn new things (60 per cent) and earn more money (47 per cent). About one in three claim they are unsure of their career goals and aspirations.
Forward-thinking employers will, of course, encourage their staff to move onwards and upwards in their organisation where possible, by offering opportunities for development, rather than lose them. When the good times come back – as they will before too long – it’s going to be those companies with a well-trained and motivated workforce that will reap the greatest benefits.
