Employers could greatly benefit from re-training their employees, according to one expert.
Research by the Learning and Skills Council (LSC) has found that over the next ten years, two-thirds of jobs will require skilled workers.
This means that people will need a "portfolio of skills", in the opinion of Anjula Mutanda, a psychology consultant and life coach.
"From an employer's point of view if they are re-skilling their employees it's always a benefit to them at the end of the day because you've got a workforce that is tooled up and ready to go," said Ms Mutanda.
The research by the LSC also found that over three-quarters of the people learning new skills said they felt happier and more confident.
Last week, research by Deloitte highlighted the importance of training employees, as it found that 31 per cent of firms said lack of quality people was hindering business growth.
