Try to take on a contract or job role that's a significant but achievable step above your current level of capability. It's amazing how quickly you can learn something when you throw yourself into a situation where you just have to do it, or else. Obviously you need to take care to ensure that your employers/colleagues will be supportive and understanding that you'll need some time to develop new skills. But you also want them to push you to raise your level to what you/they know you're capable of.
