Tse Long recalled that he participated in the Go Digital Career program during the COVID pandemic, and as he was getting older, he decided to pursue further studies and change careers.

“My previous job had nothing to do with IT. I was doing photography. I feel that the IT industry is unfamiliar, and a big challenge for me. But everyone around me is talking about Python, and I also like data. I think it should be a good fit for me, so I finally chose the data engineer program.”

“During the course, students learned different practical I.T. knowledge. The instructor was willing to share practical experience and reminded us to always pay attention to industry development trends. We chatted about GPT most often during class."

After graduation, he worked as a Project Analyst in a company that specializes in providing customer management, enterprise resource planning and other system services. He would use the programming knowledge he learned to modify the system according to customer needs and communicate with colleagues on how to add new features. He recalled that during class, he met like-minded students from different backgrounds. They formed teams at different stages to work together on various topics according to their strengths. It was like communicating and cooperating with colleagues in the workplace, which was a rare experience.

When it comes to the future, he understands that the programming languages and tools used in the IT industry are changing rapidly, so he has been paying attention to industry information on different online platforms. He also continues to exchange information with his classmates to broaden his horizons.
