For a long time, we believed that having the right and formal education was key to acquiring the best jobs. But if you've been keeping up with the tech industry, you know that's simply not true anymore. Things are changing so fast that the education system can hardly keep up. What you learn today might be irrelevant by the time you're ready to enter the workforce. So now, there are other ways to get ahead. You can learn online, from YouTube videos, or just by doing things yourself. The people at Prepr are a great example of how self-learning and taking an alternate path can create opportunities beyond education and having âthe right papersâ. Let's take a closer look at some of their stories.

Believe it or not, Tom was actually Prepr's first-ever hired employee! When it comes to his education, Tom has quite the journey. He has tried various types of education and ended up finishing ICT Level 2 and 3. After he started Level 4 he quickly realized that the knowledge he needed wasnât present. Tom clashed with his teachers when they tried to force him to do things a certain way, just because it was the âcorrectâ approach, while it didnât make sense to him. When asked if what he learned during his education was relevant to his work now, Tom responded with a laugh and said, âNo, not at all, I was actually the one teaching my teachers about programming, and whenever I asked them something, they didnât understand what I meant.â
