I can’t say that it’s just one thing, it’s everything, educating myself on the virtual campus, participating in camps, job fairs, the accounting course I took from INATEC” says Dixon.
“I can say that the university does not teach what I learn in the project: Innovating, for example, before I had no label, card, brand, I learned how to expand my business, it has helped me think big, now I have understood that my products must have a nutritional table to be more competitive, that each investment I make must have a result, the label, for example, shows my brand, but it is also advertising,” Dixon assures.
