In today’s professional world, where innovation and change are constant, staying up to date isn’t just an advantage—it’s a necessity.
Many times, we want to keep learning, improve our skills, and grow within our company, but we face barriers such as lack of time, resources, or simply uncertainty about whether the investment is truly worth it.
Fortunately, 24Slides understands that employee growth is key to the company’s success. That’s why it offers the External Training program, an initiative that invests in professional development courses, allowing us to keep learning and refining our skills.
Today, I want to share my story to inspire more 24Sliders to take advantage of this incredible benefit.
About the Prototyping Course
For a while, I felt the need to improve my skills in interface design and prototyping. As a Designer at 24Slides, I realized my team relied on me to create more efficient and visually appealing presentations. However, to take my work to the next level, I needed advanced tools and a deeper understanding of prototyping.
Knowing that the company was willing to invest in my growth was a huge motivator to enroll in the Figma Prototyping course by Coderhouse.
My final project involved modeling and testing a Mobile app. This app was designed to address the challenges people face when trying to find a healthcare professional, specifically a psychologist. Many rely on recommendations from friends or family, but this can be difficult when there are no connections. Additionally, the process of finding the right psychologist is often time-consuming, leading to wasted time and money.
To solve this, I designed an app that allows users to quickly find qualified professionals nearby. The app features search filters based on specialty, location, and availability, helping users find the most suitable psychologist for their needs. Each professional’s profile includes details about their experience, career background, and reviews from other users.
More Than Just Training: A Mindset Shift
This experience not only strengthened my technical skills but also changed my perspective on the importance of continuous learning in my career.
Now, let me tell you how this course has impacted my growth:
- Increased my confidence in my abilities: Knowing that I could handle Figma more proficiently gave me the confidence to propose ideas, take on new challenges, and work more independently.
- Better communication with my team: I can now share my ideas more clearly and effectively, improving collaboration in projects.
- Greater efficiency and productivity: With advanced tools and better methodologies, processes are now more agile, and the results are of higher quality.
This mindset shift has been one of the most significant takeaways from this External Training program. I no longer see training as optional but as an essential investment in my professional and personal development.
Beyond the opportunity to learn, this experience felt like a sign of trust from 24Slides—a level of support that pushed me to give my best throughout the journey.
Company Support: A Key Factor in Every Employee Growth
One of the things I value most about 24Slides is its commitment to employee development. Not all companies are willing to invest in their teams’ education, and having access to such opportunities makes a significant difference in our professional growth.
The company not only funded the course but also provided me with the time and support needed to complete it successfully. Knowing that my organization invests in my growth inspires me to keep learning and contribute more meaningfully to my team’s success.
If there’s one thing I have learned from this experience, it’s that we should never stop investing in ourselves. In today’s fast-paced world, industries evolve rapidly, new technologies emerge, and skills that were once sufficient may become outdated. This is why continuous learning is essential—not just for career advancement but also for personal growth and adaptability.
If you have the chance to take a course, attend a workshop, or simply dedicate time to self-learning, don’t hesitate. The knowledge you gain today will shape the opportunities you have tomorrow. For me, continuous learning is the key to long-term success and personal fulfillment.
No matter what field you work in, there is always something new to learn and improve. Whether it’s design, project management, marketing, leadership, or any other discipline, External Training by 24Slides is an amazing program that everyone should take advantage of.
“After taking this course, Flavia was able to apply more advanced design techniques to the projects she worked on. For example, she proposed new ways of presenting slides, considering potential future client needs, which added value to our service.
I believe that continuous training is key to staying updated with new trends and creating innovative proposals. Now, with these results, I will continue promoting the use of the program to more members of my team.”

Continuous Learning as the Key to Success
The Figma Prototyping course has been one of the best decisions I have made for my professional growth. Thanks to this 24Slides’ program, I strengthened my skills, boosted my confidence, and improved my work performance.
As I said, beyond the course itself, the most valuable takeaway has been the mindset shift that this experience gave me. Now, I understand that learning has no limits and that there is always room for improvement. All we need is the willingness to take the first step.
I truly believe that when a company and its people grow together, amazing things happen. So, to all my wonderful 24Sliders, don’t miss out on this great opportunity! I’m sure an amazing learning journey is waiting for you.
