in-service training courses


Explanation:
This solution is perhaps most appropriate if the courses involve the acquisition of new skills, although it tends to imply that participants have structured careers.

Jacek's "refresher" is probably more frequent than "update" for courses that are designed to keep participants informed on developments in their professional areas of interest.

skills upgrading courses or skills updating courses


Explanation:
Sometimes even "skills management courses," and "mandatory certification retention courses" especially if they are needed to remain certified as an accountant or doctor, or lawyer, or judge, nurse, teacher, etc.
