Again, we are making a comeback to the Work From Home (WFH) culture. Although this time many of us may have started to adjust to working at home, it is believed that some people have not become accustomed to the new norm of working and it often causes a feeling of not being productive enough. Getting cozy at home all week long can make a habit of forcing yourself hard to be energetic and find something to do in your free hours. However, everyone has a different way to increase our productivity. It can be grabbing a favorite book to read, having a no-gym workout, doing a house cleaning task, and so on.
If you feel like it’s something you’d like to do to dust off and improve yourself, then we’ve come up with a collection of free online courses to help upskilling a little easier while working from home. JobsDB has recently partnered with a popular online learning platform, FutureLearn, to launch the “Level Up Your Career” (#levelupyourcareer) campaign offering more than 80 online courses that is absolutely free for new graduates and interested persons, who are seeking to benefit from upskilling while working at home.
A certificate will be rewarded after completing the FutureLearn course and then you can upgrade your professional profile as well. There are three upskilling highlights here for you to choose from.
- Digital

These have forced many businesses to quickly adapt to be in line with the new disruption trend.

- Language
Today, it is widely acceptable that language skills are very essential in our daily life and often more important at work. Many of us are in the situations where it requires communicating in a foreign language with our co-workers and managers. The universal language used in many offices would inevitably be English: writing emails, managing meetings, and preparing office documents.
Therefore, during this Work From Home period, everyone can practice their English language skills with the #levelupyourcareer campaign.
