Digital platforms are important in helping students enhance and create professional work that organizations and society largely need. A digital platform is where professionals exchange their skills or goods using the internet. Students must use numerous existing digital platforms to increase their network advantages. Scholars use digital platforms because they need to develop their marketing and outsourcing skills to build a professional portfolio that they will depend on in their future endeavors.

Some important digital platforms used frequently by students include social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Students could consider adopting various digital practices to expand their professional learning work. The consideration should include learning how to market their profession in the digital space. Students could ensure they can access all social media platforms to reach a wider market. Data privacy and security can limit professional learning networks because students fear that the platforms might spy on them and are not encouraged to use the podiums.

Using the digital space by students is important for learning more skills about a particular profession and strengthening the already acquired skill to reach a wider marketplace. In my Network, creating a digital identity is easy because an individual only needs to create a profile picture, a description of their skills and upload relevant Curriculum Vitae (CV). The CV is used to prove the individual’s professional network qualification. An employer would respond well when they assess my social media presence through my digital identity because I have put all the requirements needed to display my work. On social media, I have put a link to my qualifications and uploaded some of my work on the digital platform. Digital platforms are important in helping the public and employers to scrutinize their employees, making it easy for recruitment.
