    Here are several ways you can develop professional skills:

    1. Set goals for yourself. Setting specific goals to improve your career helps you


    stay on track with your development. Make sure your goals are measurable,
    achievable and relevant to your profession or your goals. Then, consider
    organizing a timeline to achieve your goal by setting a beginning and end date, as
    well as smaller goals to achieve along the way.

    2. Find a mentor. A professional mentor is typically a superior you respect and


    trust. Once you find your mentor, you can reach out for informal meetings, which
    can then naturally develop into a professional relationship.

    3. Seek feedback about strengths and weaknesses. You can ask superiors,


    colleagues or even friends or family about your strengths and areas for
    improvement. It is important to seek feedback from people who will give you
    honest critiques rather than automatic praise. Once you identify your weaknesses,
    you can focus on developing those skills.

    4. Review job descriptions for positions you want.  These job descriptions will
    give you an idea of the transferable skills you have, as well as the job-specific
    skills you will need. Once you identify the skills you need, you can research job
    shadowing or education programs that can provide you with the necessary skill
    set to transition into that position.

    5. Enroll in an online degree program. Companies often encourage employees to


    further their education with a degree, and some offer tuition assistance or
    reimbursement. If you are advancing your career with a related program, such as
    accounting and finance, you may also find that many of your credits are
    transferable.

    6. Take continuing education courses in career-related fields. These courses


    are often taught by professionals with experience in their field. For some
    professions, continuing education courses are required to stay current in the
    industry. Many colleges and universities offer continuing education courses in a
    variety of fields.

    7. Take advantage of company training.  Many companies use independent


    training departments with experts in different fields that train on specialized skill
    sets. Check in with your supervisor about what your company has to offer and
    which courses would be especially beneficial for your professional growth.

    8. Participate in job shadowing. Job shadowing is a great way to learn more about


    the day-to-day responsibilities of another profession and to learn new skills.
    Generally, it is best to choose individuals who are experienced or perform well in
    their positions. Job shadowing usually involves following a professional while they
    perform their job duties and learning about different skills.
    9. Join a professional association in your field. In a group setting, you have the
    opportunity to converse with colleagues about your industry and to discover skills
    you may want to develop. These professional associations are usually available
    on local, state, national and international levels.
