From\nevening classes at a local college to bite-sized online courses, you can build\nyour skillset in a way that fits your lifestyle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Never too late<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike\ntraditional learning confined to the classroom, continuous learning is never\n\u201ccomplete\u201d. Lifelong learning is for everyone and promotes learning at <strong>any age. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\n2015, Californian Doreetha Daniels received her associate degree in social\nsciences.&nbsp; But Doreetha wasn\u2019t a typical\nstudent. She was 99 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When\nit comes to learning, there are no full stops, only commas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doreetha\ndemonstrates that, regardless of your age, career status or educational\nbackground, it&#8217;s never too late to learn something new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Investing in learning <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who have the greatest career success are, by and large, lifelong learners. Entrepreneur Elon Musk grew up reading two books per day, Bill Gates enjoyed 2-week-long reading vacations, and investor Warren Buffet dedicated 80% of his time to reading and thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The evidence is loud and clear: Lifelong learning is the most valuable investment we can make for return-to-work success. Whether you\u2019re upskilling to re-enter the workplace or pursue new opportunities, continuous learning can help you take ownership of your career path and promote an empowered route back to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/btwc.onodev.com\/careerhub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/earn-learn-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3285 lazyload\" width=\"317\" height=\"317\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/backtoworkconnect.ie\/careerhub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/earn-learn-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/backtoworkconnect.ie\/careerhub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/earn-learn-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/backtoworkconnect.ie\/careerhub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/earn-learn-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/backtoworkconnect.ie\/careerhub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/earn-learn-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/backtoworkconnect.ie\/careerhub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/earn-learn-1.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 317px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 317\/317;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Back to Work Connect <\/strong><strong>| <\/strong><strong>Bio <\/strong><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Back to Work\nConnect, our mission is to empower and support women ready to re-enter the\nworkforce.
