GUEST: Absolutely. Design thinking is all about empathizing with users, understanding their needs, and creating solutions that meet those needs. Human-centered design takes it a step further by putting the user at the heart of the design process. It's about creating products, services, and experiences that are intuitive, user-friendly, and meet the user's goals.

GUEST: The program is designed to be highly practical and hands-on. Students work on real-world projects and case studies, applying design principles to drive innovation and creativity. They learn from expert instructors and industry mentors, and they get to collaborate with peers in an online community.
HOST: I love that. So, it's not just about learning theory, but actually applying it to real-world challenges. What kind of career opportunities can students expect after completing this program?
GUEST: The certificate opens up a wide range of career opportunities in UX/UI design, product development, and innovation management. Students can expect to be in high demand, as companies are increasingly looking for professionals who can apply design thinking to drive business results.

They provide one-on-one feedback, guidance, and support to students throughout the program.
