Being prepared for the working world.

Quite often we read about ways to get a promotion, stand out from the crowd and so on. Here is a great article highlighting how you can get a promotion.

Big investment in Industry and skill matching.

Quite often we have no idea what we can do, what we would be good at and even where we could work. Big money is being thrown into recruitment to address shortages in some industries.

Life is a simulation

Life is a simulation

Everybody has an idea of what their life should hold for them. Some maybe focused solely on the earning potential. Others , perhaps a balance of life and money and for the lucky few, it is all about the quality of life where money does not mean much.
