Whether we call it “reskilling” or “upskilling,” the outcome is the same. The process simply takes an existing employee from a declining industry or career field and teaches them the skills required to work in an up-and-coming one. This means the worker is able to improve their career trajectory without the need for lengthy and often expensive education courses at college or universities.
Intellectual Point is a Northern Virginia-based information technology training and workforce development company that provides reskilling training and certifications to those looking to switch careers. To do this, it uses in-person and virtual training courses to certify those individuals looking for the most in-demand careers in IT today, including programs in Python, Blockchain and ethical hacking, just to name a few.

VA program to help thousands of veterans learn new career after being unemployed due to COVID-19 pandemic
By Megan Ziegler
A new Veterans Affairs program has been set up to help veterans who are unemployed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program provides some free education and training for eligible veterans to learn a new career.
If approved for the program, up to 12 months of tuition and fees will be covered for courses that lead to one of the hundreds of preapproved jobs that are considered high demand. A monthly housing allowance would also be included.
