  1. How to Upgrade your Skills with Free Online Courses Many job seekers need to upgrade their skills to meet the demands of ever-changing workplaces. The great news is that you can learn most anything online today, and there are many courses available for free on the site such as www.studykhazana.com.

Depending on what the employer needs, they may or may not accept online classes as qualifications. Each industry is unique so it's up to you to research your field and find the requirements.
