In this competitive global economy, a highly skilled workforce can give us a competitive edge locally and globally. With proper training, skills, and a slightly open mindset, anyone should be able to contribute to themselves, their family, society, and the country. In this technological age, anyone can gain skills or knowledge for self-development from online training institutions, YouTube, or social media outlets in a very cost-effective way. If an affiliated academic institution or employer does not provide knowledge or training, then the individual needs to acquire these skills on their own. We tend to blame academic institutions, or employers, or a lack of time for not being able to acquire these self-development skills.
