Re: Extensive re-training efforts
@Ariella:

Interesting to read what you shared about the nurse.

I have something similar to share. One of my firned's husband who garduated in engineering, then graduated in law, then obtained bachelors in science and finally settled in with Masters in some technology area. Finally he made a career in IT and not to miss tried whole bunch of technologies, programming areas what not. Presently he is into mobile technology. Just an example that demonstrates the hunger for learning and exploring whole different things.

Re: Reskilling is not the big issue
@imorris:

I wouldn't generalize that 'Reskilling' can not be an option. It actually differes from person to person. There are some people who are excellent and quick learners and just pick up new things seemlessly, though they were stuck with old ways of doing things.That bunch of people definitely need to have an opportunity to continue to learn and excel in their respective fields.

@Mitch:

In total agreement with you. Besides right skills and experience, I would say right attitude and enthusiasm must be considered for such companies that constantly deal with evolutions and transformations all the time.

Re: Extensive re-training efforts
@batye that's a good thing. It's great to learn more. Without that, some jobs get boring. I know a nurse who switched her specialty multiple times, and some of them required some reschooling. I think she grew bored with the routines and so wanted to switch things up.

Re: Reskilling is not the big issue
@imorris I couldn't agree more. The problem is that those who hire usually do so while thinking of present needs -- what languages and systems they are currently working with. Consequently, they're likely to pick someone who has been there, done that over someone who has not -- even if the latter has a great ability to learn that would make him/her more valuable down the line.

Re: Extensive re-training efforts
@batye yes, things advance and change so rapidly that you really do have to keep learning in order to adapt and remain competitive in your field.
