In addition to taking a variety of animation and art courses in school, it'd be to your advantage to skill up on your own using resources such as SkillShare. They have high quality video content about new skills taught by amazing teachers. There are often offers and trial deals to get you started, so keep an eye out for those. I'd also recommend connecting with animator communities like the ones at Extra Credits to find people that can direct you toward other free resources, depending on the type of animation you're looking to get into.
