The landscape of work has undergone a radical transformation in recent years, mostly brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic, with remote work becoming the new norm for millions of professionals across the globe. Over 16% of companies worldwide are now completely remote and many more offer hybrid working options.
Enabled by advancements in technology, remote work offers unparalleled flexibility, productivity, and work-life balance. However, to succeed in this environment, individuals must upgrade their skills to adapt to the unique challenges and opportunities presented by remote work.
We recognise that we need to prepare our students for the ever-changing world of work and teach them the skill necessary to excel in remote working environments or empower them with all the tools they need to pursue remote careers.
In this blog, we'll explore essential skills and qualifications at Eduvos that will empower our students to excel in the world of remote work.
Digital Literacy
Remote work heavily relies on digital tools and platforms. Being digitally literate is crucial for efficient communication, collaboration, and project management. Digital literacy is no longer a nice-to-have on your CV, but a necessity, with the majority of jobs requiring some form of digital skills. The demand for digital literacy has spiked as companies adopt hybrid and remote working methods.
Eduvos offers various computing and IT qualifications. Our Higher Certificate in Computing is aimed at working professionals and designed to provide a solid background in computing and the real-world application of technology in the workplace.
Cyber Security Awareness
The rise of remote work has led companies to heavily invest in and improve their IT infrastructure and security technologies, meaning there is an increased demand for people with skills related to these fields. Remote work introduces unique cyber security risks, such as data breaches and phishing attacks. It is important to educate yourself about cyber security best practices to protect sensitive information and ensure the safety of your work and your organisation's data.
Eduvos’s IT and Cyber Security qualifications will equip you with the skills needed to flourish in a remote cyber security career and protect your data and personal information.
Proactive Learning
Remote work demands that employees continuously learn and upskill. As the world changes rapidly, and new technologies and fields are constantly popping up, it is important to keep up with the trends. Upskilling and reskilling expand your knowledge base and skillset to achieve your career goals.
Eduvos offers a variety of online short courses, workshops, and webinars to acquire new skills or improve existing ones.
Flexible Modes of Learning
Eduvos offers various modes of learning to suit remote workers looking to upskill. Programmes are offered full-time after hours, with live online lectures hosted in the evenings or on weekends.
