“The Main Thing Is to Choose the Right Direction!”

For eight years Olga Chuprova from Naryan Mar worked as an expert with the regional archive, but recently her job was downsized and she, a highly trained professional with a university degree, found herself at a loss of what to do. Once the initial shock subsided, Olga decided to take a few self-education courses and, among other things, signed up for Your Course: Digital Literacy training. Being a competent PC user, she quickly mastered the entire Curriculum, successfully passed the Certificate Test and received her Digital Literacy Certificate. The new knowledge and skills along with restored self-confidence enabled her to get the job of the head curator at the Pustozyorsk state reserve of history, landscape and architecture.

Elena Ivanova: “I want to launch my own online shop”
|
Internet technologies have become an indispensable tool in industry, education and business, and XXI century life without them is all but unthinkable. For a modern woman the Internet is both a knowledgeable friend and a business opportunity. Elena Ivanova, an economist from Togliatti, loves arts and crafts and spends most of her free time creating stain glass designs and making all sorts of household items out of wood, iron, fabric, paper and natural materials. Once she posted pictures of her crafts online, she quickly began receiving orders and understood that it could become a very profitable venture. Now Elena wants to launch her own online shop without having to hire professional website designers which means that she will need more advanced ICT skills. However Elena is undaunted: her ambition of owning an online boutique of exclusive arts and crafts is too strong to stop now.
