This week in our Tech Careers segment, we are joined by Jim Demikis, one of Directions’ very own Senior Applications Instructors. As a Microsoft Office expert, Jim dives into the benefits of Microsoft Project in organizing the multiple moving parts of a project. Listen in to hear how this tool can help keep a project on schedule, help tasks be completed and manage multiple projects at once.
Later, in our Women in Tech segment, we talk with ‘data whisperer’ Jen Stirrup. Jen is a data strategist and technologist with over 20 years of experience and a long list of achievements. At 8 years old, Jen’s uncle taught her how to program a computer and that as a girl, she could do anything that a boy could do, and with that, a spark was lit. Join us to hear Jen’s story as a woman in technology, the struggles she’s encountered and how she’s overcome those struggles and built her confidence.
