Good morning respected principal sir, all the teachers, and my dear friends.
Today we have gathered here to celebrate the Teachers’ Day.
First, I would like to wish all my respected teachers a very happy Teachers’ Day. Thank you for being
our backbone and support. Teachers play a big role in building the character of students. They give
us knowledge and help in achieving our dreams. They are our guiding spirits and role models.
Teachers help in building the character of students. Teachers plays an important role in the education
of students, society, and country.
On behalf of all students, I would like to thank all the teachers for their tireless efforts they make to give us knowledge and shape our future.
Write a speech on “Importance of Education” which you will deliver in your school.
Good morning respected teachers and my dear friends.
I am Linda studying from grade 3.
The topic of my speech is ‘Importance of Education’. I would let you know all about the value of education and its contribution to our lives.
Education helps us to remove doubt and fear of challenges in our lives. We can say it is a tool that keeps us happy and give courage to fight in difficult situations. We need education to make ourselves confident and to be aware of equality. It makes us self -dependent. Education shape us for the future challenges in life. It helps you to earn money to fulfill the basic need of life.
If we are not properly educated, we may face challenges in some situations. Education is not about gaining knowledge only; it means learning the ways to be happy and social life.
My dear friends, education is like a healthy food that nourishes us both internally and externally. It gives us confidence by developing our personality. We should help others as well as ourselves to be educated and contribute to the development of the society.
Thank you!!!

Good speech writing refers to the skillful art of starting a speech that effectively communicates a message, engages the audience, and leaves a lasting impact. Deliver an impactful and inspiring speech on success , unveiling the keys to achievement and empowerment that captivate your audience.” A well-written speech is characterized by several key elements:
Clarity: A good speech is clear and easy to understand. It conveys the message in a straightforward manner, avoiding unnecessary jargon or complexity.
Relevance: It is tailored to the audience’s needs and interests. A good speech addresses the concerns and expectations of the audience, making it relatable and engaging.
Structure: A well-structured speech has a clear beginning, middle, and end. It follows a logical flow, with each section building upon the previous one.
Engagement: Good speech writing captures the audience’s attention from the start and maintains it throughout the speech. It uses effective hooks, anecdotes, and rhetorical devices to engage the audience emotionally and intellectually.
Content: The content of a good speech is well-researched and supported by credible evidence, facts, examples, and anecdotes. It provides valuable information or conveys a persuasive argument.
Delivery: While speech writing focuses on the text, good delivery speech is essential for effective communication. A well-written speech is delivered with confidence, appropriate tone, and proper pacing.
Memorability: A good speech leaves a lasting impression on the audience. It may include memorable quotes, stories, or calls to action that resonate with listeners.
Purpose: The purpose of the speech is clearly defined, whether it’s to inform, persuade, inspire, entertain, or a combination of these objectives. The speech aligns with its intended purpose.
Connection: It establishes a connection with the audience by addressing their concerns, values, and emotions. A good speech can make the audience feel heard and understood.
Impact: Ultimately, good speech writing aims to have an impact. It may lead to changed perspectives, inspired actions, or a deeper understanding of the topic.
The opening of a speech is the gateway to engaging an audience. Begin by captivating attention with a compelling question, a captivating story, or an intriguing fact. A well-chosen quote or a vivid scene can also stir curiosity and set the tone for what’s to come. The key lies in drawing listeners in, making them eager to journey through the words you’re about to share. An impactful start sets the stage for a memorable and engaging speech
The speech writing format plays a crucial role in organizing and delivering your message effectively. A well-structured speech typically consists of three main parts:
Hook: Begin with a compelling opening that grabs your audience’s attention. This could be a question, a quote, a startling fact, or a personal anecdote related to your topic.
Purpose Statement: Clearly state the purpose of your speech. Let your audience know what you aim to achieve or convey.
Preview: Provide a brief overview of the main points or topics you will cover in your speech. This gives your audience a roadmap of what to expect.
Body: Main Points: Organize your speech into two or more main points or sections, each addressing a specific aspect of your topic. These main points should be related and support your overall message.
Supporting Material: Within each main point, include supporting evidence, examples, statistics, anecdotes, or arguments that reinforce your message.
Transitions: Use transitional phrases or sentences to smoothly move from one main point to the next. Transitions help maintain the flow of your speech.
Summary: Summarize the key points you’ve discussed in the body of your speech. Restate your purpose and message to reinforce them.
Closing Statement: End your speech with a strong closing statement or memorable quote that leaves a lasting impression on your audience.
Call to Action (if applicable): If your speech has a persuasive or actionable component, issue a call to action. Encourage your audience to take specific steps or consider your message seriously.
Writing speech can be a rewarding experience, allowing you to communicate your thoughts, inspire, inform, or persuade an audience effectively. A well-written speech not only conveys your message effectively but also engages and resonates with your audience. To craft a compelling speech, start by understanding your audience and defining your purpose. Thorough research is essential to gather supporting evidence and examples. Organize your ideas into a coherent structure with a captivating opening, well-developed main points, and a powerful conclusion. Engage your audience emotionally and intellectually through relatable stories and effective communication techniques. Practice and rehearsal will help you deliver your speech confidently. Effective speech writing combines these elements to create a message that resonates and inspires your audience. Practice and preparation are key to delivering a successful speech.
We also offer a diverse array of English speech topics for students , fostering both skill development and engagement in public speaking.

Here are two speech writing examples for different purposes:
“Good morning, everyone. Today, I want to share a story of resilience and determination. Imagine facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles and finding the strength to overcome them. That’s what true determination is all about.
Think of the legendary figure Thomas Edison, who attempted over a thousand times before successfully inventing the light bulb. He once said, ‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.’ Edison’s unwavering commitment to his goal teaches us that setbacks are stepping stones to success.
In our own lives, we encounter challenges that test our resolve. It could be academic, personal, or professional challenges. But remember, it’s not the adversity itself but how we respond that defines us.
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks, to learn from failures, and to keep moving forward. It’s a quality we all possess, waiting to be awakened. The path to success may be filled with obstacles, but it’s the determination to overcome them that lights our way.
So, let’s embrace our inner resilience, face challenges head-on, and keep pushing forward. As Edison proved, with unwavering determination, even the darkest moments can lead to the brightest successes. Thank you.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed colleagues, today, let’s dive into our company’s progress over the past year. Our growth has been steady, and I’ll present the data to support this claim.
In the fiscal year 2022-2023, our company achieved a remarkable 15% increase in revenue compared to the previous year. This growth can be attributed to our strategic expansion into new markets, our commitment to innovation, and the dedication of our talented team.
Our customer satisfaction rates also reached an all-time high, with an impressive 95% of our customers expressing their satisfaction with our products and services. This reflects our dedication to delivering value and excellence.
Furthermore, our sustainability initiatives have not only reduced our carbon footprint but have also gained recognition in the industry. We’ve implemented eco-friendly diwali , reduced waste, and made significant strides toward our goal of becoming a more environmentally responsible organization.
As we look ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that lie before us. Our commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and sustainability will continue to be the driving forces behind our success.
In conclusion, our progress over the past year reflects our dedication to excellence and our ability to adapt to changing times. We are poised for a future of continued growth and success. Thank you for your support and dedication to our company.

Commissioner Hester M. Peirce
Washington D.C.
April 2, 2024
Let me start by reminding you that my views are my own as a Commissioner and not necessarily those of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or my fellow Commissioners. It is good to be back at SEC Speaks and to know that the content shared here today is available for anyone who may wish to access it.
Last time I was here, I talked about the SEC’s “secret garden”—the maze of staff guidance that serves to define practices across the securities industry in a way that may be inconsistent with a plain reading of the rulebook. [1] This guidance is not promulgated through notice-and-comment rulemaking, but appears in staff statements and speeches, phone calls, some types of no-action letters, and the like. Some of this guidance is found only in the high-priced whispers of a select few attorneys or auditors. Nobody can challenge these diktats because they are not final agency action, but compliance is mandatory for an entity wishing to avoid SEC delays, denials, and enforcement and examination scrutiny. So everybody silently complies.
Since I gave that speech, a particularly pernicious weed has sprung up in the secret garden: Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 121 and related guidance. [2] The Office of the Chief Accountant (“OCA”) prepared the SAB without the input of the full Commission, but, as with other SABs, staff follows SAB 121 in administering the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws. [3] SAB 121 directs public companies that safeguard crypto assets for clients to put a liability and corresponding asset on their balance sheet and adjust them as the value of the asset changes. The SAB was issued apparently without input from the public or banking regulators, who subsequently have expressed concerns. [4] The Government Accountability Office last October ruled that the Commission should have submitted SAB 121 to Congress under the Congressional Review Act because it was an “agency statement” “of future effect” that the Commission “designed to interpret and prescribe policy.” [5] Despite the negative attention, OCA, through conversations after the SAB’s issuance, has broadened its scope to cover all registered broker-dealers. To make matters worse, OCA issued—orally at a conference of accountants—a multi-pronged framework for applying SAB 121 to broker-dealers. The Commission has not published that framework or any subsequent staff efforts to clarify the framework’s scope, but many auditors and broker-dealers are treating it as binding. It is driving broker-dealers to allocate significant capital to their crypto custody businesses or to avoid the business altogether. SAB 121 arguably does not protect investors. Its capital implications keep out of the business many banks and broker-dealers that have long years of custody experience. [6] Moreover, as a consequence of being on the balance sheet, if the custodian fails, these assets could be treated as if they belong to the failed entity, not the customers of that entity. [7]
Rules of such broad effect should be set by the full Commission, not by staff answering only to the Chairman. In a Reorganization Plan 10 world, [8] ensuring that policy decisions are not delegated to the staff can be particularly tricky. Jack Katz, who served for two decades as Secretary of the SEC and is being honored tonight with the William O. Douglas award, [9] made this point in congressional testimony that recommended, among other things, greater involvement of the Commission in interpreting regulatory policy. [10] Katz contended that having the Commission “micromanage” or displace the staff in performing their “daily responsibilities” would be “a disastrous outcome,” but “the Commission is the final authority on questions of regulatory policy, both in the interpretation of rules and in periodically overseeing and engaging in discussions of the priorities of each division.” [11] The Commission appropriately relies on the staff to work through difficult technical questions about the application of the law to particular facts and circumstances, but should not leave to the staff decisions that broadly govern market practices.
Today, however, I want to focus on a different problem—the dwindling of genuine Commission and staff engagement with the public. The Commission—not the staff or market participants—is to blame. One manifestation is the way rules are made these days: very broad proposals, unreasonably short public comment periods, pared back final rules with substantial elements on which the public has not commented, and little SEC engagement in implementation discussions. The recent money-market fund rule is an example of this phenomenon. It went out with—among other provisions—an unworkable swing-pricing element and emerged with a mandatory liquidity fee. [12] Had the Commission sought robust comment on the fee before adopting it, we would have learned that it is unworkable for many funds. The Commission should think about each rule proposal as an opportunity to foster a public discussion with the goal of developing the best solution to a carefully identified problem, not as the opening bid in a hard-driving negotiating strategy designed to force a cowed public to accept a slightly less onerous—though perhaps still unworkable—final rule.
Rulemaking designed to engage the public takes time, something that is in short supply for an industry inundated with new rules and rule proposals from the SEC and other regulators. A recent conversation with small- and medium-sized advisers brought this point home. They told me that dealing with existing rules and implementing new ones precludes spending the time to read, let alone comment on, proposed rules. Further exacerbating the burden of commenting, rule proposals often fail clearly to identify a problem that needs solving, which makes offering alternative solutions difficult. The Commission, for example, has left commenters guessing about the problems motivating the safeguarding rule and the predictive data analytics rule.
The reduction in genuine engagement with the public is not limited to the rulemaking process. As I stated in the secret garden speech, much of the Commission’s day-to-day work does not and need not proceed through notice-and-comment rulemaking. People routinely approach the staff with questions about how the law applies to their unique facts and circumstances. An important responsibility of many SEC staffers is to help the industry work through difficult regulatory issues, whether in the context of a new product filing, a broker-dealer application, a registration statement, an exemptive application, a request for no-action relief, or a query about the application of a rule to a unique set of facts and circumstances. Historically, the Commission staff has done this type of work through the Divisions’ Offices of Chief Counsel and Chief Accountant, the Commission’s Office of Chief Accountant, and other offices across the Commission. The staff made itself accessible, and the public had many productive opportunities to engage with the staff. Interactions with a regulator like the SEC were never stress-free, but the “Come in and talk to us” mantra was a genuine invitation to come in and grapple with difficult issues in a robust back-and-forth.
Productive interactions with the SEC are fewer and further between than they were in the past. When individuals and entities come to the SEC with their novel ideas, their feedback, their concerns, their objections, their questions about implementation of a new rule or application of an old one to new circumstances, too often now they are met with . . . well, crickets. Neither staff expertise nor issues ripe for analysis are lacking, so what has changed? In part, the staff, run ragged by a punishing rulewriting agenda, does not have the bandwidth to think about hard, novel legal questions. The remote work norm also may play a role as it reduces opportunities for spontaneous staff collaboration to work through tough questions. The root of the problem, though, is that the Commission discourages the staff from offering much more than silence, shrugs, sighs, and slow-walking. The culture at the top of the SEC has changed, which in turn has changed the way the agency interacts with the public.
Countless people have told me that they used to feel comfortable coming in and speaking with the Commission and its staff, but no more. When it comes to interpretive guidance, “the Commission is closed for business.” New product ideas? “Not now.” Approval to do things for which other firms already have approval? “That permission was very limited.” Feedback on how to a particular set of facts interacts with a new rule? “We cannot provide legal advice.”
Interactions that do occur often are an interminable round of unproductive monologues before an unresponsive audience. Even processes that historically have been straightforward, such as filing for new funds, have become complicated. The registration process too often involves unpredictable timelines, inconsistent comments, and an unprecedented lack of transparency. A fund sponsor might receive dozens of comments on a filing for a fund when the only distinction from an existing fund is the asset class in which it invests. Product ideas are abandoned before they are submitted to the Commission staff for consideration or after multi-year processes produce nothing but large legal bills and a loss of confidence in the Commission.
Some perceive meeting with the Commission is not only unproductive, but inadvisable. Sometimes people meet with me against the advice of counsel or only with counsel present. Other people have told me that they desperately want to have substantive discussions with the staff but worry that the inevitable result of such a meeting would be a call from enforcement, not a concerted effort to work through complex regulatory issues. The Commission’s announcement of a large ramp-up in its cyber- and crypto-enforcement unit, repeated assertions that the crypto industry is lawless, and treatment of cyber-incidents as fertile ground for enforcement actions add to these fears. These concerns are not limited to crypto and cyber. Other people have told me that they are less inclined now than in the past to keep us updated during times of market stress because they fear subsequent rulemaking premised on the fact that those conversations occurred. Think funds during the early days of COVID. We are scaring people off from coming in and having a conversation with us.
The stilted communication, half-hearted engagement, quick-draw of enforcement guns, and limited transparency that characterize the Commission’s current relationship with the industry we regulate should concern anyone who cares about this great institution and the amazing markets we regulate. The increasing chasm that has emerged between the regulator and the regulated undermines industry’s ability to serve investors and companies trying to raise capital. Given how regulated the securities markets are, developing new products or improving existing ones often requires conversations with, and sometimes regulatory action from, the SEC. By not engaging in nuanced analysis of legal questions, we create an environment in which overcompliance is the standard. Even if it does not technically make innovation impossible, smaller entities, which tend to be more innovative, cannot afford defensive overcompliance.
Dissuading people from coming in to speak with us also deprives us of valuable information that we need to regulate the markets. Routine and regular conversations with investors, regulated entities, issuers, legal practitioners, accountants, fund boards, compliance officers, academics, policy experts, and others help us to understand the financial markets we oversee. Information-gathering efforts by our examination and enforcement staff are no substitute.
All of us—the Commission, staff, and the public—have a role to play in reigniting productive conversations between the SEC and the public. The Commission , of course, must start the process and has the biggest role to play. As we often point out, tone from the top matters. Staff and market participants have little power to change a dynamic that the Commission has set in motion.
Once the Commission takes these steps, the hard-working, talented Commission staff also has a role to play in restoring a healthy relationship with the public:
Market participants can nudge the SEC in the right direction, although real progress depends on the Commission’s willingness to engage. Forgive me if these steps seem laughably basic, but I underscore them because they can make a difference. This kind of interaction is not only acceptable, but welcome to a Commission that is committed to careful regulation. So although crickets are the current SEC’s response to many inbound inquiries, when things change, the following may help facilitate discussion:
I welcome your input in refining my suggestions to restore trust and fluid communication between the public and the SEC.
In her book following her tenure as a commissioner, Roberta Karmel, whom we are now mourning, called for a “revitalize[d] securities regulation.” [13] She understood that “regulation designed for the purpose of achieving greater social justice through increased prosperity must enthusiastically endorse private enterprise and administrative due process.” [14] More than forty years later, that reminder that a deep respect for private enterprise and administrative due process makes us better at our job of regulating still resonates. Together—because the outcomes of our work are the result of the collective contributions of many—we can build a better SEC. This work requires the small efforts of many people inside and outside the agency.
The poet Mary Oliver, who, as I did, grew up outside Cleveland, Ohio, wrote beautifully about a cricket on a hillside. She observed its “great energy” and “humble effort” as it “mov[ed] the grains of the hillside.” [15] I hope for an SEC that greets individuals and entities with crickets—but only the Mary Oliver kind: civil servants who “humbly” and with “great energy” labor, day in and day out, to make the SEC and the markets it regulates better by pushing one grain uphill at a time.

Does the staff’s guidance reflect a thorough consideration of the likely benefits and costs of that guidance? Does access to our markets depend on hiring counsel that has access to the non-public views of the staff? Will market participants change their behavior in ways that may not make sense under our rules as written to comply with the vast body of guidance, much of which may not be publicly available?”) (footnote omitted).

On-balance sheet recognition triggers the full panoply of capital, liquidity, and other prudential requirements only for bank custodians, which makes it prohibitively challenging for banks to engage in this activity at any scale. It is worth asking whether it is in the public interest for one crypto exchange to provide custody services for most of the market in approved Bitcoin exchange-traded products, while highly regulated banks are effectively excluded from the market”) (footnotes omitted). Further, Vice Chairman Hill contends that because SAB 121 applies to “crypto-assets,” a broadly defined term, it may encompass other tokenized real-world assets. Id . (“[T]he SEC’s definition of ‘crypto-asset’ is extremely broad and could be read to capture not just blockchain-native assets but also tokenized versions of real-world assets. I think this is a clear example of why it is generally constructive for agencies to seek public comment before publishing major policy issuances, and at a minimum believe it would be helpful to clarify that SAB 121 does not apply to the wider universe of tokenized assets beyond blockchain-native assets.”) (footnote omitted).

The Government Accountability Office did not opine on whether the Administrative Procedure Act legally mandated that the Commission subject SAB 121 to notice and comment.

Rather, we are opining on a different issue: whether the Bulletin is a rule under CRA. CRA does incorporate APA’s definition of rule but does not incorporate APA’s notice and comment provisions.”). As subsequent valuable input from the public has made clear, the Commission would have benefited from notice-and-comment.

Having your education on your resume is an important way to showcase yourself and your background. Find out what to include, where to list it, and how to present it.
Your resume is your sales pitch for any jobs or courses you apply for, so it’s essential for it to represent you fully. To accomplish this, you must list your degree clearly, with all relevant information. This document typically represents your first chance to make a great impression and show potential employers why you’re an excellent fit for their needs. Doing so requires highlighting your educational background and qualifications.
In this article, you’ll learn how to write an education section and where and how to include your degree within it. You’ll also find examples and tips for writing a show-stopping resume.
Employers look at your resume to see how your background aligns with the position and the company. Resumes are like your own personal marketing tool and an opportunity to showcase your unique qualifications. Think of your resume as a document that can entice recruiters to want to learn more about your skills and experience.
Employers will use it to assess exactly what you can do based on what you tell them you have achieved in the past. With this in mind, they want to know about your previous roles, education, certifications, and the skills you developed along the way. Tailor your skills, education, and experience to the job posting and include relevant examples of actual achievements rather than simply a list of your duties and responsibilities.
It’s essential for your resume to represent all you’ve achieved so employers can determine if your background meets their needs. Graduating is a significant achievement, and highlighting it to employers is a must.
It’s also often a minimum requirement for job roles or access to master’s degree courses. Employers will scan your resume to ensure you meet this criteria if this is the case. Even if you don’t feel your degree is directly related to the position or the course you’re applying for, it’s still highly valuable as it demonstrates that you can study at a high level.
When it comes to listing your degree on your resume, it’s important to make sure it is prominent and integral to the document and that you include any relevant details about your degree that will sell you to an employer or college.
Review the steps below to discover how to list your degree for maximum effect.
Designing a distinct resume education section is straightforward, but it’s critical to use effective formatting. Doing so allows your qualifications to stand out to employers who quickly scan your resume to see if you meet their requirements and for applicant screening software (ATS) looking for specific keywords.
At a minimum, this section must include:
Degree title
College name and location
Graduation date
In addition to this, you may include more information. Explore those details below.
List your degrees and education in reverse chronological order. Start by placing your recent education in the most prominent position. Doing so lets you highlight your highest level of education first and foremost.
An exception to this rule is if you are applying for a role where a less recent degree is most relevant to the position. For example, if you are applying for a construction role and have a degree in engineering from several years ago and have since completed a degree in French, your engineering degree will likely impress the employer. In this case, you may reposition your degrees so the most relevant is at the top, more like a functional resume format. You may even choose to have separate sections for “relevant” and “other” education.
If you have multiple degrees, be consistent with the reverse chronological order. Place your highest degree first. For example, if you have recently studied a master’s degree, this sits above a previously studied bachelor’s degree.
If your degree is relevant to the role or the course you’re applying for, include your major and any minors that also help to tailor your education section. This is especially important if a job post asks for something specific and you have covered it in your degree program.
Relevant projects, extracurricular activities, and coursework are excellent points to help you stand apart from other candidates. If your degree program included projects that were very relevant to what you’re applying for, make sure you include them. However, avoid adding everything you covered in your degree unless it is highly relevant and will add something to your resume.
Awards, scholarships, or special mentions are an excellent addition when listing your degree. This is especially so if they relate directly to the role, but regardless, showing you have the commitment and skills to achieve an award can make you stand out.
You’ll find mixed advice about including your GPA, but the general consensus is to add it if it is noteworthy. If your GPA is below average, lower than 3.4 [ 1 ], it’s best not to highlight this. If it is exceptionally high, use it as a selling point.
Where you place your education section depends on a few factors. If you have limited experience in the field you’re applying for, but your degree is highly relevant, you may want to put your education section near the top of your resume. It might be directly under your summary.
However, if you have many years of relevant experience and a strong career progression, your degree subject may be less important, especially if it is in a different field. If this is the case, place it lower down your resume, below your experience section.
Below is an example of an education section for a seasoned professional.
Bachelor of Arts Marketing , 2022
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN
Minors : Management
Special projects : Participated in a marketing project, developing a marketing plan for a small hospitality business.
If you have a degree in progress and haven’t finished yet, it’s valuable to list it anyway. However, listing an unfinished degree varies slightly from the above example of a completed degree program.
When listing the date of your degree, note an expected graduation date. It’s still a good idea to list your major, special projects, awards, and any extracurricular activities if these strengthen the section. You can even include your GPA if it is high.
Bachelor of Arts Psychology
Expected graduation: June 2024
Minors : Child development
Awards: Dean’s list for seven semesters
Now you know how to format and construct your education section, let’s take a look at some tips for finishing your resume:
Tailor your resume: It’s important to write it with a job role in mind. Look at what recruiters put in the job listing and the position’s description. Ensure your resume includes details that align with what the employer is looking for, provided they also match your background. The employer is scoring you on how well your resume fits the role.
Use keywords: Many companies use an ATS, requiring job seekers like you to make sure their resumes include keywords relevant to their experience that match the job description and keywords associated with the role and industry to stand a good chance of being selected.
Focus on achievements : It’s easy to list duties and responsibilities on your resume, but your individual achievements can help you stand out against others. Give examples of things you have done, awards you’ve earned, factors you’ve improved, and people you’ve helped.
Be clear and concise: Recruiters skim-read resumes, and it’s essential to deliver the details that catch their interest with just a quick scan, enticing them to continue reading and learning more about you. Keep your information relevant and format it clearly to break up text with bullet points and subheadings for easy scannability.
Building a strong resume means having a solid education section. Getting a degree isn’t your only option to build a strong resume. You can also stand out by taking online classes and increasing your qualifications. For example, Professional Certificates on Coursera effectively show your skills and knowledge in various areas.
For example, you could hone your sales skills with a Salesforce Sales Operations Professional Certificate , explore marketing analytics with the Meta Marketing Analytics Professional Certificate , or master the fundamentals of network operations with a Network Engineering Professional Certificate from Akamai.
