Technology is fast changing. You see new stuff on the internet every day. Companies are also learning to be dynamic in order to catch up with this trend. Some companies had moved online to source talent and get their work done. This is where remote work comes in and job seekers must have skills that can meet the new way of work.

Upwork is one of the platforms that offers remote jobs. On January 2023 it released a report on in-demand skills needed by businesses. It listed in-demand skills for marketing, technology, customer service, administrative support, creative, design, and consulting. I randomly picked some of these skills under these categories. They are listed in no order.

I recommend you take these courses if you have an interest in any of them. You must be willing to dedicate some time if you want to learn. Some take a few months to complete. Other courses require a year or two to finish them. It's all about patience and self-discipline.
There are many platforms that can be used to acquire these skills. Some are paid. Others are free. You can start with the free ones In case you don't have the money to pay for a course. You can get financial aid in Coursera to enroll in a course. Just learning to get a certificate is not enough. You need to work on some samples to build your portfolio or serve as proof of experience when applying for jobs. For instance, you can get some videos and apply your editing skills to them if you are learning video editing. The market is highly competitive and this can help you secure a job online.
The change you want to see starts now. All the best in your learning journey.
