This means that if you want to find success in your professional life, and have any hope of being able to support yourself and your family, you need skills that will help you stand out from other candidates in today's competitive marketplace.

Fortunately, this doesn't mean that everyone needs a college degree or advanced training; all it takes is some initiative and creativity. The following are six ways you can gain new skills for the job market.

Attend workshops offered by companies

Many companies, especially in the technology sector, offer workshops for their employees on new products and services. Attend as many of these workshops as you can, even if they are not related to your field.

Internships in Israel are hard to get, so you might as well turn the opportunity to learn new skills into a free vacation. By doing so, you will gain valuable knowledge and insight into how these companies work, which could give you an advantage when applying for jobs at those companies in the future.

Start a blog or podcast

Are you passionate about a certain topic? Start a blog or podcast on that topic, and share your insights with the world. Not only will you be increasing your knowledge in the area of your choice, but you will also be building up a body of work that can be used to demonstrate your expertise to potential employers.

Join an online course

There are many online courses available, on all sorts of topics, that you can join for free or for a small fee. These courses can be a great way to learn new things and build your skillset. They are also a good way to network with other professionals in your field. 

Volunteer

If you are having a hard time finding employment, or even if you are not, volunteer. Volunteering is one of the best ways to gain new skills and build your resume because it allows you to gain real-world experience in an area that interests you without making any commitments.

Take night classes

Even if you already have a full-time job, you can still take night classes to gain new skills. Many colleges and universities offer night classes in a variety of areas, so there is sure to be something that interests you.

Taking night classes will allow you to continue working while you learn, which can be a great way to improve your resume and networking opportunities.
