I have 3 + years experience in Selenium Automation. Now I got an opportunity in a company to work on the SilkTest Automation tool. Is it good to learn SilkTest? Is it really worth learning and can it be used in Continuous Integration testing?

It depends.
SilkTest, like most expensive commercial testing packages, is used mainly in large corporate companies. If this is where you want to grow then sure it is fine to learn it. I think test automation skills transfer between frameworks and tools. The fundamentals are the same. If you have a hard time learning new tools then maybe I would not switch as SilkTest will not be in large demand. Meaning you might need to learn a new tool as you switch jobs in the future.
