Case study 1 – Banjar
Banjar has noticed a great improvement in his confidence online. He has recognised that what he has learned will have a great impact on his career and home life.
Banjar now keeps an eye on his digital footprint and feels more confident about being able to improve it.
To help him in his career, Banjar has learned how to harness social media to showcase his professional skills, knowledge and experience as a chef. He plans to use LinkedIn to do this and to connect with a wider community to advertise his cooking. But he is as passionate about football as he is about cooking, and he would like a career change and move into football marketing. He has set up a Facebook account to keep up to date with the football sport industry and he has started writing a blog.
At the beginning of the course, Banjar felt vulnerable online, particularly when it came to providing personal or financial information. Knowing how to assess who or what to trust, and understanding what he can do to protect herself, has improved his confidence. He now uses strong passwords and has learned how to protect his computer from viruses.
When he searched online, Banjar used to feel quite overwhelmed with the amount of information available. This course has taught him how to search more effectively and filter information. This has been invaluable when he’s been searching for jobs in the Football industry.
