The job markets in most common fields are getting saturated. Job-seekers need to differentiate themselves from others competing for the same job. The best way to do this is by updating your skill palette with the most in-demand market skills.

So how do you acquire skills without having to pay heavy fees or not quit your job? Skillshare is an online learning community headquartered in New York City. It was founded by Michael Karnjanaprakorn and Malcolm Ong in 2010. You can learn any subject or course on Skillshare’s platform. It offers courses ranging from knitting, sociology, neurosciences, graphic designing, fashion and style, to film and video, food and drink, music, photography, technology, and writing and publishing. Skillshare offers renowned teachers from across the world. All you have to do is complete your assignments and appear for the lecture.

Skillshare keeps on proving its credibility through reviews by its students. Here’s a Skillshare review by Delores:

“Discovering Skillshare has opened up a whole new world for me. I can re-visit techniques long forgotten and learn new, cutting-edge skills. I love it. I start almost every day with an hour of skillshare (or quicker if I set it at 1.25 or 1.5 speed!)”

Why should you add to your soft and hard skills?

Organizations know that an ignorant employee can cost them a lot of money. Having technical skills highlighting your capabilities will give you the edge over other employees because you can offer your firm inexpensive, advanced solutions that solve legitimate problems. Employees with an advanced skill-set get ahead of the others by solving problems faster. They help create an agile and connected business environment.

If you sign up with Skillshare, you won’t have to sacrifice your job and you can learn useful skills on the side. Skillshare has over 5,000 exprert teachers on its forum. Here’s a Skillshare review:

Employers are always searching for team members who use the technology available to them to its full potential. Through Skillshare, you can become more diverse and oversee projects that were once thought to be impossible.

Another Skillshare review says you’re putting your money and time in the right place:
