A) It's difficult to get a job without experience, despite any training you have. So that's going to be a hurdle. I wouldn't mess around with SSIS because that is a whole different skill set from SSRS which you're trying to learn.

B) Yes, what you're learning is out of date with SQL Server 2014. But, it doesn't really matter because it's not like Office or Outlook. Even though it's going to be released in the coming months, very few companies will be installing it in their systems. Based on what I've seen with people I've talked to recently, most places are well entrenched in SQL Server 2008/2008R2 currently.
