Pavel’s award winning design Not long after completing his training, Pavel entered a Canva Competition for a poster design, which he entered and - to his delight - won. The prize was a one-year free subscription to the Canva Pro software.
Pavel said: “My passion for graphic design started after the training I received from the Skills 21 project. The funny thing is that marine engineering requires key design skills as well. Learning and mastering the latest skills is the key to success in all jobs and this has helped me immensely.”
Pavel is now working at IMT Chandpur where, following his design success, he has set up a short course on graphic design. The European Union funded Skills 21 project supported building the capacity of instructors in designing online materials, learning the latest software, and building online learning platforms.
