reskill
Acquire new competencies
To reskill is to learn new abilities, typically when your existing skills have become obsolete or inadequate for changing job requirements.
The word emerged alongside automation and technological displacement: The company offered to reskill workers whose jobs were being eliminated.
Unlike upskill, which suggests enhancement, reskill implies starting fresh in a different direction.
