Will Cookson, head of skills at Working Links, claims that acquisition of skills is crucial when it comes to topping up existing abilities in preparation for a change of employer.
He states: '[It] is important, not only for personal development, but will also help the UK recover from the recession in a better position.'
Mr Cookson adds that the level of education that prospective employees have to meet in order to be considered for a job is increasing, which could highlight the advantages of taking additional post-employment training.
He says: 'The personal acquisition of skills is a fundamental enabler for individuals to gain, sustain and progress in employment.'
Recent research by the Office for National Statistics reveals that the number of jobs available in the labour market is now decreasing at its slowest rate.
