We caught up with one of our Get Ahead in Digital Transformation learners, Ushma, who enrolled onto the programme to aid her company, Ushma at Not Just Travel.
Having had my successful and busy travel consultancy business for almost 3 years, having a solid social media presence is key. With the pandemic, this has created oodles of time and desire to be able to want to learn much more about Social Media and Digital Marketing. A friend suggested this Bootcamp to me and I jumped at the chance. To understand how coding for websites is created, best practices and how to apply this to my own business is very exciting. I'm just a few weeks into the independent study, which is great as I can fit it around work. There are lots of online tools and videos and 'test your learning' sections to support everything you are learning. I have also experienced the virtual classroom, which really did bring all the learning to life and have now taken the first steps to start to build a website, which is incredible. It's very satisfying not to have to wait - you just write the code, hit refresh and you can see the results. I'm very excited to keep learning and gain the Microsoft & Google qualifications and very keen to apply all the knowledge I'm learning to my own business. I'm glad I've finally taken the plunge to do this and can't wait to see what sort of opportunities I can create for myself.
