Ahh, the new year.
It’s the time of the year that reminds us what’s important in our life. A time that challenges us to set goals (big or small) for the year ahead to make sure that we prioritize those things. For you, this could mean taking up a new hobby, doing some travelling, changing your diet – or what could be the bravest one of all – switching up your career.
Sure, changing gears and moving into a new career is a big step – luckily, you don’t have to do it all at once. There’s a way that you can keep your current job set-up while furthering your education in pursuit of a career in tech, one of Vancouver’s fastest-growing sectors.
To celebrate the New Year and making resolutions you’ll actually keep, the tech school is giving Daily Hive readers the chance to win free tuition to their part-time program starting in January. For real.
It’s all about making a resolution you will actually stick to and having a happy new career!
Whether you’ve got a background in marketing, design, coding, or communications, a part-time program can help you skill up so you can get hired.
Plus, studying at RED Academy means you’ll get to learn from industry experts in an agency style environment and work on projects with real clients, building a real-world portfolio – to help you land that coveted job in whatever area of digital you so desire.
The school offers part-time programs that work around your current role. You can choose between a 10-week or 5-week program in UX or UI Design, a 5-week Essential program, or a 10-week Digital Marketing Foundation program. And you have the option to take two evening classes per week or a full day on a Saturday.
