After finishing high school, Nikki found herself faced with a pretty common dilemma about where to take her future. Should she start tertiary study? Take a gap year? Try some work experience? She wasn\u2019t keen on the traditional university path and thought about exploring a career in social media marketing.\u00a0<\/p>
\u201cI knew that I didn’t want to go to uni, but I still wanted to study something, and thought about digital marketing or something around social media. It was important to me to study but be able to work at the same time.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
Quickly, Nikki realised that to get her foot in the door, she needed more than just enthusiasm \u2014 she needed qualifications and a solid foundation of skills. Flexibility was a must, so she started looking for something that would allow her to work and study at the same time. Ultimately, after a quick Google search, she found NZIE\u2019s Diploma in Social Media Marketing.<\/a><\/p>
