The skills I have gained from the micro-credentials and courses are well sought after in many industries, and I have built a fantastic professional network from meeting, and learning alongside, many amazing working professionals and guest speakers on the courses. Adaptable, remote study with class time is difficult to come by when in full-time employment, let alone one that improves my mahi with some much needed mana.
