Other organizations located near you are also likely to offer training sessions supplemented with internships and immersions in the field in order to give you all the keys for a successful retraining.

While some professions require upgrading or certified and approved training, for other projects this is not a mandatory step. Your past experiences, the positions you have already held and your ability to adapt can be real assets for applying for positions without necessarily having to undergo training for several weeks.
