York University School of Continuing Studies was a great place to personally embark on my return back into the world. I have since graduated with two post-graduate certificates - one in Advanced Professional Accounting and another in Digital & Content Marketing, over the last two years. I learned different skills and gained exposure to varied aspects of businesses through each program, which proved both professionally beneficial and personally enriching. So how did these programs shape my career, and what were my experiences in it?

While pursuing my career as an Assistant Professor in Commerce and Management, I always dreamed of studying at a university abroad and starting my own business. I was enthusiastic to upgrade my businessskills and explorenewopportunities. Though it was challenging, but not impossible, and having a study gap, I enrolled in the York University School of Continuing Studies for a Post Graduate Certificate in Business administration. To become a successful entrepreneur I decided to choose Post Graduate Certificate in Digital and Content Marketing.

• Why I chose to restart my schooling?

Having holistic knowledge is an essential need for any human to survive in this fast-paced world. It not only makes you stand-out among your social circle but also gives you a better version of yourself. This is why I planned to restart my studies even after having a successful e-commerce business in auto-parts. I believed the programs provided by universities in Canada would certainly benefit me in expanding my business world-wide and also in the other aspects of life. Let’s see how it actually worked for me!

Getting back to studying once we’ve started working is really difficult. The endless questions we ask ourselves make the transition daunting and overwhelming. However, in order to grow and improve our careers, we make such big decisions.

My name is Navneet Kaur, and I hail from India to make a big change in my professional life. I am currently enrolled in a digital marketing & content marketing course at the York University School of Continuing Studies. I’m still working as an SEO consultant, and to be honest, balancing work and study is not a piece of cake, like literally.

However, the difficulties are worth it. The support from York University, faculty, and my classmates has eased my journey. I’m proud of my decision to return to studying and choosing this university over other colleges in Canada. I can’t wait to complete this course and see the opportunities that await me in the digital marketing field.
