Professional Development Outside Uni with WSO

If you’ve been at Uni for a little bit, you’ll find it's very different to high school. No more 6 hour days packed with learning and allocated break times. Gone are the dreaded 6 AM wakeups and running to catch your bus or train that has a 30 minute wait time. Rather, Uni is very much about independently organising your own time and it's up to you to grab the learning opportunities that will develop yourself personally and professionally. 

Before the internet, this kind of structured learning seemed confined to the classroom. However, nowadays there’s a range of platforms like Udemy where you can pick up skills you can easily turn into a side hustle such as graphic design, podcast creation, and the list goes on. Although, if you’re looking for a way to further develop your professional skills in business, WSO has got you covered. But who are they exactly, and what do they do?

Who is WSO?

Wall Street Oasis or WSO is an online finance community that provides several courses and services to assist aspiring students to gain a competitive edge as they progress through their business careers.
