Designers Building Businesses Learn Digital Skills From These Resources - Tracy Leigh Hazzard, INC
Designers learn business via digital means. I want to talk about where designers are learning their digital business skills these days because: There might be options available out there you might not be aware of that could benefit you, and; I want you to succeed and I know your chances are higher by taking advantage of the resources available to you. I wasn't exaggerating when I told you this year's Design In Tech Report was packed full of great information. Some of the most interesting stats I read were the ones breaking down the truth about where designers are learning their digital business skills because I had some assumptions about this, and they were way off. Let's put this in perspective: 86% of design students surveyed say they learned their digital skills from resources outside their coursework. And it isn't only coding or design-based knowledge students are seeking, which I am thrilled to hear, because the more well-rounded you are, in terms of business and communication skills, the more successful you will be.
