It’s time to put all the excuses you’ve been making to rest.

Why do you need a degree or qualification? 

There a several reasons why working adults would need to obtain a new, or even their first, formal degree. With job specifications being updated regularly, new skills are constantly in demand, and continuous learning is a crucial element of remaining abreast of current trends in the marketplace. As more workers enter the market, competition becomes tougher, and even just a climb up the corporate ladder is difficult. Here are the two most common reasons you might want to add a degree to your tool belt: 

1. Career Changes  

If you’re considering a career change but feel hindered because of your age, you should remember that you’re not alone. We’re on a constant journey of discovery, and this means that even people in their later years may find their current position or role unsatisfactory.  

It is extremely common for people in their 30’s or 40’s to decide on a career change, but this is not always easy without a formal qualification. Getting that new degree can make a huge difference. 

2. Investing in yourself  

At OKWU, we believe that every working individual deserves the chance to invest in their personal growth. That’s what a degree is! We believe that the sky is your limit and that there is no cut-off age for your personal and professional growth.
