The process of acquiring new skills or knowledge, particularly in the context of transitioning into a new career or vocation. The term is often associated with a career transition or employment training program aimed at preparing individuals for a new, higher-skilled profession. The process of reskilling may involve the development of hard skills, soft skills, or knowledge of a particular industry, but the goal is to enable a change of career or profession for the individual. Reskilling is different from Upskilling, which involves continuous development of skills within an individual's current job or career.
