Experienced developer Misun (Sunny) Hwang was able to build confidence and refresh her knowledge during our Software Development micro-credentials.
Sunny worked in the Information Technology field for over 10 years as a software developer in Korea.
She came to New Zealand seven years ago and has worked as a webmaster at several companies.
This July she enrolled in Future Skills’ Software Development micro-credentials.
She says it was a great opportunity to learn about the latest technologies.
“But the best thing was that I could find my confidence while attending the course,” she says.
“Even though I have much work experience in the IT industry, my knowledge was old because IT is changing so fast.”
She says her lecturers always encouraged her and gave her confidence.
For her project, she created a Tailored CV Generator web application.
“Whenever I make my CV, I have to focus my work experience on the applied role, because I have worked in various roles. So sometimes it takes a long time to write a CV and I lose the opportunity to apply for a job. That's why I designed this project.”
She completed her project successfully and says she will continue to develop the app and will soon publish it on a web hosting server. She’ll then be able to use it in her portfolio.
“The course was very helpful for me to upskill myself and extend my confidence,” she says.
“It's a great learning experience and opens big opportunities to explore the IT field.”
“The best part of this course is I learned so much in such a short time and the teachers are very supportive and helpful."
“It has been interesting for me and I will probably go on further in learning more and use it for my personal development in my career.”
“It reinforced my knowledge of some basics and also upskilled me on the latest trends and technologies in Business Intelligence.”
“We learned Power BI, Microsoft Excel, and also some Structured Query Learning basics which are definitely going to help me in my new job.”
“The course was very helpful for me to upskill myself and extend my confidence."
"The skills and knowledge from the course are helpful for me in handling grade distribution and creating pivot tables and charts, which are parts of my daily work."
“Without my tutor, I couldn't have thought of higher studies."
“Perfecting the art of welding has been one of my main goals.”
“I am so proud and captivated because I got a good job.”
“Within two and a half years, I've been able to completely change industry role.”
“The course I am studying at Future Skills Academy has opened other avenues for me."
