According to the World Economic Forum, Social media managers and App developers and other jobs didn’t exist 10 years ago. Which is a clear indicator of our rapidly changing world. That’s why updating your skills is a must these days. Specifically, in digital marketing as personal and commercial marketing  is taking over the digital scenery.

Personally, I was facing some challenges while trying to cope with the changes in the past couple of years. as being a journalist traditionally writing in newspapers and magazines for more than 15 years and having to work from home due to the pandemic.  Unfortunately, at that time, I hardly know anything about digital marketing or how things work in social media platforms. Nor how to promote my work and skills to this open world where you can reach anyone anywhere in no time.

I knew I had to positively embrace this drastic change  in the landscape of the digital world. So I reframed my thinking and then I figured out that  studying Digital Marketing will be the best choice.

Hopefully,  while surfing online to find a suitable Digital Marketing course, I found the amazing free scholarship program offered by ITIDA  Under the umbrella of Digital Egypt Strategy, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT)  to upskill Egyptian Youth in Web, Data and Digital Marketing tech skills for jobs of the future. Knowing that the market has a size of 3 trillion US dollars and its filled with opportunities and gigs.

So I asked myself  the following questions,

I am ready to take responsibility and apply for this great scholarship?

Will I have time to fulfill its projects?

Can I finally reach my goal of promoting my uniqueness only and gain profitable income?

Well, the answers were all “YES” but it needed strenuous effort, time management, strong will, and most of all the love of learning to strive, rise and shine in the digital world.

My final word: go grab the scholarship. Because opportunities are just around the corner waiting.
