Every year we have upheavals, natural disasters and other events that have to be made sense of so that we can lead normalised lifestyles. We cannot make sense of 2020, so we have to work on getting through each day and adapting our goals. 2019 was a year of major retrenchments, 2020 has seen even more retrenchments, businesses closing, and people losing their profession eg travel agents, pilots, CEO’s. - [The power of the pandemic – digitisation of our workspaces](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/the-power-of-the-pandemic-digitisation-of-our-workspaces/): An interview with Nadine Botha, Registrar Academic of Boston City Campus. - [Current scarce skills, and how Boston can fill the gap!](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/current-scarce-skills-and-how-boston-can-fill-the-gap/): Boston understands the time, effort, and financial commitment that a student makes in order to complete a qualification.

It is in this environment that learners have to make a choice and finalise applications!  I can also say from experience – when you are in first year you are overwhelmed, studies are very difficult at a tertiary level, and we land up questioning whether the effort required matches our passion for the industry we have selected! - [Our training advisors and consultants are the backbone of support for our students.](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/our-training-advisors-and-consultants-are-the-backbone-of-support-for-our-students/): As a leading provider of tertiary education in South Africa, Boston believes that just offering qualifications is only half of its job – the other half is ensuring that its students have the knowledge and support to make the right career choice.

Many people are just trying to ‘hang in there’ and wait for a return to what used to be.  Taryn Strydom of Boston City Campus believes that we will not be returning to ‘normal’. “Currently workplaces that are operational have many protocols that must be observed, including encouraging as many people as possible to work from home. Businesses, in order to survive, have had to change their services, products, and the way that they are offered in order to continue to survive, and hopefully thrive.”  Taryn continues explaining that many service providers such as hairdressers and nail technicians have been prevented from offering their services for four months. The staff of liquor stores do not know if they will have a job to go back to. Therefore in planning for a world post-lockdown, the very best thing that you can do right now is upskill yourself so that you have new and relevant skills to offer an employer, or a community should you decide to open your own business. - [Which studying style do you follow?](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/which-studying-style-do-you-follow/): Some of us learn by trial-and-error and some of us prefer to learn through reading.

While the emergency remote teaching (Hodges et al., 2020) deployed during the first half of 2020 was restructured in haste and lacked the proper pedagogical construction for online learning (Habib and Valodia, 2020), Boston has carefully curated its teaching and learning materials to be durable, reliable, cutting-edge and most importantly constructively-aligned for a seamless and coherent student learning experience. - [Ambitions for an Animated Lifestyle](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/ambitions-for-an-animated-lifestyle/): What is animation? - [First SA Private Higher Education Institution In Line For US Accreditation](https://www.boston.ac.za/blog/first-sa-private-higher-education-institution-in-line-for-us-accreditation/): Boston City Campus has positioned itself as a private higher education provider that is sensitive to the needs of the local economy while having an eye on the global picture.
