Career Growth Stories

  • After my course completion, I started applying the skills that I learned from the course to my business. In fact, while I was taking the course, I was able to solve a major problem with traditional supply chain management for a client. Not just that, at my business, I was facing issues rolling out the hyperledger fabric and what platform to choose. While I was taking the course, I learned about it and was able to roll it out.
