Resume studying

Let's take stock of the difficulties you will have to face, to start your new life in the best way.

The motivations

Sometimes you have the impression that your work does not allow you to evolve in the least, and you do not feel stimulated from an intellectual point of view. In this case, you might consider dedicating yourself to training funded by the company you work for, as part of the formative leave, which would allow you a professional retraining.

For some, the change is more radical: all types of salary activities are suspended to return to the benches: thirst for knowledge, desire to completely change the environment and start over. This is 20% of workers, who cross the threshold of universities.

The desire to resume studies does not only derive from personal frustration, it is sometimes also a necessity, because professional skills soon become obsolete. To keep up with the times, therefore, it is necessary to always acquire new skills.

Some sacrifices

In addition to a particularly destabilizing change of environment, the worker who has left everything to resume his studies is also faced with a financial problem. Moving from working life to a student life involves many sacrifices. The help of your spouse or family can be important, however you shouldn't count on this alone: ​​they don't have to suffer from your choices.

- If you live alone, make sure you have enough money aside to meet your needs around the time you resume your studies. We advise you not to try to reconcile university or training with a "part-time job, since you have now lost the habit of studying."

- If you live with someone, make sure your partner supports your new project 100%, to avoid scolding in the future. And if, on the other hand, you come back to live with your parents, set the record straight with them, you could soon find yourself arguing.

What formation to choose?

In addition to the technical aspects to consider before launching, the most important thing is to choose the most suitable training for your project. It is essential not to make mistakes, given the great personal and financial commitment that this implies.

But then, do you have to follow a full-time training, or one that gives you time to work? Is distance learning a good solution? Is it better to mix with young learners or to follow a continuing education cycle? Be well informed before deciding! In any case, it is always better to choose state-recognized courses.

The various possibilities

- If you are addicted

You can benefit from the formative leave. This training, granted to workers who have a seniority of at least 5 years in a company, has a maximum duration of 11 months and allows the rights of the employee to be preserved. The training you choose does not necessarily have to be linked to your business or that of the company. It is an interesting opportunity, especially for those who want to change jobs.

Less long and simpler, the training voucher: it is a "voucher" that allows workers to access public funding for courses that can be financed. It is possible to apply for funding for professional refresher courses or for language or computer literacy courses.

It is ideal for improving yourself in the context of your own company or enriching yourself personally.

- If you're unemployed

Perhaps it is the right time to change direction. You can benefit from the unemployment benefit paid by INPS to enroll in training, provided you can demonstrate that this is necessary for your professional reintegration.

- If you are a freelancer or freelancer

If you are a freelancer, you can benefit from the loans provided by the interprofessional fund.
