A national search is on to find the UK’s most deserving individual who can show how studying new skills could change their life.  With this in mind, The Remote Worker Awards and The Open University invite the British workforce to enter The Open University Skills Award to win a brand new career!

The Open University Skills Award is open to anyone who wishes to train for a new career and attain a new profession. One deserving winner will receive £2000 first prize and two runners up get £500 to study any course with The Open University.

Entrants might have overcome challenges to advance their career; they might already be working and want to develop themselves for new career prospects.  They may wish to gain new skills and get back into work following redundancy. Or it could be used for someone to finally get their hands on their dream career!

The Open University Skills Award is one of the highlights of The Remote Worker Awards in association with BT Business, which aims to raise awareness for remote and home working as an alternative solution to the traditional nine to five office routine.

There are nine other Award categories where winners will walk away with £50k in prizes, including a Penthouse Garden Office worth £10k, a Home Based Franchise worth £15k! Other Award categories include The BT Home Business Award, The Freelance Consultant Award and a Work From Home Award.

The Remote Worker Awards has been organised by Remote Employment, a job site specialising in flexible, remote and home working.

Get your entry in quick – closing date is 31st July! For more information call 0844 800 8355 or browse www.remoteworkerawards.com > Award Categories > The Open University Skills Award.
