Over the past year, I have learnt a great many things. Therefore, it would only make sense to intend to do the same over the next year. After all, I am on this course to learn.
The thing I have been looking forward to most for the second year is getting engaged in the process of actually building websites more frequently. Having only built one for college during the first year, I look forward to getting to grips with the new processes and learning more about technologies such as XHTML and CSS.
I also hope to gain experience in more advanced technologies such as PHP and CMS. As such, I look forward to the SMLP (Self Managed Learning Plan) section of A10, as well as A13: Content is King. I believe developing these skills is crucial in increasing my employability when I am looking for a job in the future, as looking at many job adverts reveals that these are prerequisites of applying.
A further aspiration of mine is to develop my portfolio work. This, again, is important for my employability. I want to ensure that the quality of work in my portfolio is high enough to ensure that potential employers are impressed and engaged by my work. Additionally, the design of my portfolio is just as important as the content, so this is a part of the year which I look forward to.
So, all in all, most of my aspirations for this year are in some way linked to my employability. Being on a vocational course like this is surely the best place to be in order to meet my aspirations. In many ways, I can't wait to get this year done so I can move into employment, but I also want to savour my opportunities and education this year.
