Ideally, continuing education programs benefit both businesses and workers. Businesses encourage continuing education in order to sustain a highly skilled and specialized workforce — a workforce with the skills to perform a variety of tasks or workers with "cross-functional" skills. Workers, on the other hand, may receive promotions, gain more power in the job market, or become more valuable employees by enrolling continuing-education programs. Reference for Business website.
