The Upskill Sabbatical

Turn your career transition into an opportunity to adapt and grow

In these times of rapid change, career transitions are becoming more common – and more challenging. The Upskill Sabbatical is part of People Potential’s commitment to supporting employability and resilience in our community.

This 3–6 month, part-time programme offers professionals in transition the opportunity to make the most of their career break. Whether you are between roles, returning to work, or exploring a new direction, the programme provides a structured way to invest in your growth.

Guided by one or more experienced coaches from People Potential, you will strengthen a select set of capabilities for your next role, connect with a network of peers, and re-enter the workforce with greater clarity, confidence and readiness. In addition to learning, participants may contribute their expertise to project work – and will be asked to indicate the skills they can bring to the table as part of the application process.

Your next chapter can begin now – by choosing to prepare for it.

  • Practical technical skills in ClickUp, MS Teams, AI applications, etc, and/or soft skills in presentations, communication and leadership.
