There is a strong view that training of work is more important than broad education. To what extent you agree with this?

On-the-

job

training and courses have become increasingly popular nowadays.

Although

some occupations require a certain level of higher

education

degrees, some

people

believe that work-specific training is essential. I partly agree that some jobs necessitate a certain level of

education

prior to the hiring process and that

this

can vary depending on the profession and area. Training on the

job

and continuous professional development have been widely incorporated in various

job

sectors which gives flexibility to many

people

to learn and earn a living simultaneously.

This

is because it provides opportunities for individuals who have not had a higher

education

certificate to learn different skills, climb the career ladder and

also

get decent pay in return.

For instance

, some administrative jobs require a certain awareness of computer skills for which employers offer specialized courses for candidates to learn and upgrade their knowledge every certain amount of months to stay up-to-date.

While

this

can be significantly expensive for employers, it can be a great incentive for

people

to learn and get paid for the

job

. Some

job

sectors have a strict higher

education

certificate policy.

Furthermore

, a certain level of learning might be needed prior to starting certain jobs as these occupations can be wide and a certain type of knowledge can be crucial for various reasons.

For example

, medicine can be extremely demanding and to work as a doctor, it is important to complete over four years of learning before commencing the

job

.

Consequently

, not having a degree before starting professionally does not necessarily mean that a person cannot learn whilst working.

However

, I believe

this

entirely depends on the

job

sector involved. In conclusion, the world is constantly changing and the need for staff across multiple areas is consistently rising even though some individuals find it more convenient to earn a living

while

learning, it is still essential for different sectors to have a degree requirement rather than to learn on the

job

. But, looking at the

last

decade and to fill in the gaps in employment, would the governments implement initiatives in the future to allow

people

to earn higher degrees

while

working?
