Upskilling and Reskilling
Where to start?!
Many of our relaunchers want to upskill or reskill but they fall into two categories:
- those who want to learn the latest office productivity tools, and
- those who need to upskill in higher level tech knowledge like programming and coding languages, data science, cybersecurity and other technical fields
Join Carol Fishman Cohen for this Q&A session with PowerToFly's Head of Customer Success, Amy Trappey as they walk through each of these categories and discuss specific resources for each.
In this Q&A session, Carol and Amy will discuss the answer to questions such as...
- What skills are you expected to "come to the table" with vs. what skills can you learn on the job?
- What is your opinion on setting up and adding to a GitHub portfolio to archive tech projects from coursework?
- What is GitHub and how does it work? Do you pay for it?
- Do you have suggestions for other options for archiving and featuring technical projects?
- Are there any credentials or skills that are especially valuable or in demand with employers?
- Are there any specific courses or certificates that are highly recommended?
- And more!
