success (noun)
The achievement of one's aim or goal
The Academy is designed to help you prepare for success in the world. We have carefully crafted the learning environment to give you the best resources available to achieve your goals, but the responsibility is yours alone to take advantage of them. From the smallest living-room start-up to the most successful multinational, from community enterprises to the world's most impactful charities, throughout history people have taken responsibility to aim for a goal, bringing about the world they wanted to live in.
The goal-related skills you develop here will help you take control of your career and your life. The technical, communication, and learning skills you’ll improve on will give you the most powerful tools that presently exist for achieving those goals.
We're excited to see what success means for you.
Education at Digital Futures is designed to be empowering. Being a tech professional means looking at any problem you encounter and believing "With thoughtful effort, I can solve this."
We trust you with three responsibilities:
- Deciding what to aim for (your goals).
- Determining how to get there (your plan).
- Getting insight into your progress (self-assessment).
We believe that you are the best person to lead these things. This way, when someone asks you how it's going, you should know pretty accurately how you're doing as a tech professional engineer, where you want to get to, and how you're going to get there.
You will know when to put in more effort, when to slow down, change focus, employ your strengths or strengthen your weaknesses. You're in the driving seat.
- To support you with the above.
- To provide an environment with the tools and motivation necessary to achieve your goals.
Not everyone will join us knowing how to take control of their own journey — and that's fine. It's our job to give you the prompts and starting points to train the habits of planning and self-assessment.
And then there's the matter of making the environment as rich in opportunities to learn as possible. If you're not sure whether your work is of good quality or not, it should be easy to learn how to determine that and then engage productively with the task of improving it. Moreover, the atmosphere and people around you should inspire you to be better.
We’re looking forward to working with you!
