Turning weaknesses into strengths - A DTP Case Study

6/9/2018

Having the confidence to acknowledge skills or subject weakness and turn them into strengths is just one way that a current Digital Transformation Programme student managed to land their new dream job. ​

Words from a current Digital Transformation Programme student 

“After only 2 weeks in the programme I had started to ask myself, what are the things that I’m scared of and why am I avoiding these things? 
 
The DTP helped to shine a light on the elements of my mindset that I wasn’t facing up to. The early on Personal Branding & Intrapreneurship workshops made me look at situations in my life and ask questions. I wrote down what I wanted to work on and took the time at home to build resilience to the negative aspects of my career. 
  
I realised that I was not the only one who didn’t know everything, I didn’t have to avoid situations. I could be assertive and directly change how I dealt with these situations.  
 
This change in attitude has been incredible. Jobs that I wouldn’t normally have applied for, I was confident to take on. My new-found resilience and mindset have made me stronger when it comes to the interview process also. I walked in feeling strong and confident. Any areas of weakness in my skill set or experience, I was able to counter with my ability to go and learn. The programme has proven that I can learn new skills and build on these at home, any weaknesses have become strengths and I was judged on my ability as a person. 
  
I am now in a dream job that 4 months ago I would never have applied for. I’m feeling confident about myself, confident in my ability to do the job and less worried about any gaps in skillset that may arise over the coming months, even years. 
 
A lack of something is no longer a weakness for me.”

Community Engagement ​

The Digital Transformation Programme encourages students to become actively involved in not only our community but their industries also. By listening to your peers, telling stories, sharing pains & triumphs we can learn from each other. 
 
It’s worth remembering that needed skills will always change, technology always advances and if you isolate yourself in what you know now, you place yourself at risk of the change replacing you. 
 
The Digital Transformation Programme teaches the crucial skills needed now and in the future. We constantly review these skills with our local industry advisory board and feed in the skills of the future to teach now. There is no delay, no waiting time, if it’s changing now and you need it now, then we teach it now.
