Choosing the right learning opportunity can be an important step when a student wants to move towards a new career field. After graduation, Mohammad Umar was working as a student coordinator, but his interest was in exploring the computer field and finding an opportunity in the IT or operations field.
His journey took a new direction when he got an opportunity with PW. Through a Business and Industry course, he explored concepts related to data, analytical thinking, and business growth. His experience offers insight into how an organised learning programme can help students build knowledge in a field they are interested in.
After completing his graduation, Mohammad Umar started working as a student coordinator. During this phase, he gained experience and learned several things, but his interests were focused on another field.
He wanted to explore opportunities related to computers and was looking for a way to enter the IT or operational field. This search eventually led him to an opportunity with PW.
As Umar explains:
"But my interest was in the computer field. I was just looking for an opportunity to enter the IT field or a proper operational field. So I got an opportunity in PW."
This opportunity became a step towards learning more about the areas that interested him and exploring a different professional direction.
After getting the opportunity with PW, Umar was provided with a Business and Industry course. He describes the course as organised and says that he learned several things through it.
He recalls:
"I was provided with a course in Business and Industry. It was a very well-organised structure. I got to learn a lot of things."
For Umar, the course introduced him to concepts that went beyond simply understanding a particular field. It focused on developing an understanding of data and using analytical thinking to look at business-related questions.
He further explains:
"The main focus of this course was that you should have information about data. And how can you think analytically? How can we grow our business? There are a lot of things covered in it."
The statement highlights the areas Umar found useful during his learning experience, particularly data-related understanding, analytical thinking, and business growth.
After describing his experience with the Business and Industry course, Umar also shared advice for learners considering an online course.
His recommendation was:
"And I would like to give this recommendation from my side that you can also purchase the online course from any platform but that course should be your last course."
For Umar, choosing a course should involve considering whether it provides the learning experience. His advice reflects the importance he places on making a thoughtful decision while selecting an online learning course.
Mohammad Umar's journey shows how an individual can explore a new professional direction after gaining initial work experience. After graduation, he worked as a student coordinator, while his interest remained in the computer field and his goal was to explore the IT or operational field.
His opportunity with PW introduced him to the Business and Industry course, where he learned about data, analytical thinking, and business growth. His experience also led him to share his own perspective on selecting an online course.
For learners exploring a new field, Umar's story highlights the value of identifying an area of interest and finding a structured learning opportunity to develop relevant knowledge.
