What worked in earlier seasons

Past interest points to concrete skill gaps worth filling.

  • Strong demand for Business Management
  • High interest in Generative Artificial Intelligence
  • Ongoing appetite for Personal Branding

Previous editions saw standout traction in these three areas. That mix speaks to a need for practical management skills, up-to-date AI literacy and better professional presence. Expect similar interest this season, so plan your path and time accordingly.
