Learning touch-typing or 10-key can improve accuracy when drafting documents and speed up productivity, skills that many employers consider major assets. Typing is necessary for data entry jobs, administrative jobs and writing jobs.
The cost of improving typing skills ranges from practice you can do on your own for free to courses that cost a couple hundred dollars.
Online learning marketplace Udemy, for example, offers several typing courses ranging from $20 to $200 to help you increase your typing speed in just a few days.
In addition to data entry jobs, cashier jobs and similar roles typically require 10-key skills.
If you want to work in retail or land a role requiring numerical data entry, you can learn 10-key number-pad typing skills using free online tools, such as through Typing.com or by taking an online course through a site like Lynda.com.
Lynda subscriptions start at $19.99 for access to thousands of courses.
