Student Spotlight: Sarah Markel | |
USU Extension's ROI program caught the attention of Sarah Markel and her husband when they moved to Utah in 2018. Though she continued teaching, the Certified Remote Work Professional and Certified Tech Sales Professional courses remained at the back of her mind. However, after teaching through the pandemic, she decided to start upskilling to find a position in educational technology sales or implementation/onboarding. She eventually completed the courses to further her knowledge and add to her resumé. She found the courses useful in leveraging technology for remote work, enhancing efficiency, and staying connected with colleagues. In addition, the tech sales course taught her how to apply sales skills in real-life situations. Sarah praises USU instructors for their support and MarketStar employees for providing a clear understanding of the nitty-gritty of tech sales. Overall, Sarah is grateful for the knowledge gained through the USU ROI program, which she expects will eventually lead to a career outside traditional education. | |

Tweet of the week by @AdamMGrant | |
Being in the office is a double-edged sword.
Data: when our colleagues sit nearby, we get more feedback. That boosts learning and retention among junior people—but reduces productivity for senior people.
We need time together and time apart. Hybrid is the best of both worlds.
