Four reasons why the Jelly Academy Digital marketing course was beneficial during the grey area of motherhood
After my first daughter was born in 2017, I decided to leave my career in real estate to focus on design and marketing. Since then, I have worked directly for agencies and done some of my own contracting work. Now, with three children under the age of six, I somehow lost sight of my own career inspirations along the way. As motherhood took precedence, I pressed the pause button on my own career in order to prioritize family life. Recently, I decided I was ready to refocus on my career, but I felt the need for something to kickstart my journey. My goal is to re-enter the industry with confidence, and the Digital Marketing Bootcamp through Jelly Academy seemed like the perfect way to start. Here are four takeaways from the course and why it was beneficial to me in breaking through what I have labelled the grey area of motherhood.
1. Relevant Course Materials
The course consisted of seven live sessions, once per week, covering topics widely known across the digital marketing realm. Each session was inclusive of case studies, and real-life examples, which made for a hands-on and exciting learning experience from the comfort of home. A bonus was the supplementary course materials (quizzes and extra credentials) that can be completed at your own pace.
2. Likeminded Classmates
You are placed with a group of like-minded individuals (your classmates) with whom you learn and grow throughout the course. I have connected with a few outside of the class based on similar interests and lifestyles, and I am excited to continue networking with them going forward!
3. Industry Experts
Each course is delivered live by real-life industry experts, which I found super engaging and relevant. They used real examples from everyday scenarios in their line of work and put their industry experience at the forefront of their lessons.
4. Credentials
The course provides you with an industry-recognized certificate and a resume booster. There are additional course credentials relative to each session that help further your knowledge and credibility in the industry. This is extremely valuable to me as I prepare to re-enter the workforce and revamp my resume.
Overall, I am very pleased with the course offerings and the quality of information I learned over the seven sessions. It has given me a boost in confidence and a strong knowledge of the current landscape of digital marketing. If you are someone like me who may be re-entering the field after a pause or shift in career direction, this marketing bootcamp course is the perfect kickstart. Thank you JA!
