Vincent’s testimony
Vincent has just turned forty and has been looking for a job during six months. He was previously working in the real estate sector and is looking to change job. Vincent qualifies himself as a self-made man and someone who “enjoys learning”. He has followed three MOOCs at once and spent 1h30 per day learning from these online courses: web-councilor, learn how to code and an impressionism course that answers personal motivations.
Vincent thoroughly enjoyed this new way of learning: videos, interactivity with other members of the community… He is still working on his professional project and feels much more prepared to join the job market.
