There is no better teacher than experience. It’s time to move on from theory and start to practice. You will have the chance to grow in real-life settings. Work in a team tackling real project challenges and even fail, in a safe environment.

On-the-job training

Once you feel confident and capable, it is time to get out of your comfort zone by applying your new skills to projects with real clients. You will shadow project teams and solve business problems as part of your cohort. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it?
