Who needs to know how to code in a media organization? A lot of people. MILab Director @CindyRoyal & @allkost asked product professionals about programming languages and optimal competency levels across positions in this new report for the #MILabJournal. https://t.co/mHcqaIMwGT

It was amazing to hear about Ash @HallfordRomo’s career since graduating with the DMI degree in 2020. She’s a content and engagement specialist at @ojolabs! She emphasized the range of careers one can move with the skills from the DMI program. Have confidence! #dmicapstone
