Foundations for Software, Data, Design & Tech Education Careers

About this course

This course is for anyone aiming at software, data, security, cloud, design, IT project or tech education work. The first module compares what people in these roles actually do each day, explains what changes between junior and mid-level, and helps you choose between a degree, a bootcamp, certifications and self-teaching, with honest notes on what each career really requires beyond this platform (degrees, certifications, teaching licences and experience). The second module turns your learning into evidence: planning three portfolio pieces for your target role, making a first open source contribution, and polishing a public GitHub or Behance profile. The third module covers the job search itself: mapping a posting's requirements to your evidence, practising take-home and live technical exercises, and writing a 30-60-90 day plan for your first job. It is practical and honest: no route guarantees a job, and every activity is something you can do for free with a computer and an internet connection.
