National Skills Week was founded on four key areas of focus; to dispel the negative perceptions that surround vocational education and training (VET), highlight its diversity, the career pathways, and the success stories that emanate from VET, plus bring focus to emerging skills needs, and industry trends. What are you looking for? is this year’s theme for National Skills Week. The focus is on matching what people are looking for in a career and their life to skills training through Vocational Education. VET isn't just for trades; it spans countless occupations and industries. Click here for information on Vocational Education and Training: https://lnkd.in/gW_dKCyb

Good day, everyone! 😎 This year has proven to be a productive one; however, time is flying by. I can’t believe I’ve been attending WGU for five months now. It has been full of ups and downs; however, the staff at WGU has been the catalyst for my success. I’ve completed ten courses this term and couldn’t be more excited to continue this rapid pace next term. It’s wild how when you find something you enjoy doing, it’s so easy to stay focused and maintain motivation. I have begun the last class of this term for my Network+ certification. I know it’s more on the simple side. However, I was curious if anyone had some tips for the exam. I know the test is heavy in acronyms, so I’m anxious. 😬 Overall, I am sure learning about the foundations of networks will be a fun ride. I’ve come so far, but there’s no way I’m stopping now.
