World Certification Week
If you're a long-time listener of the HubHeroes podcast, you know we're not only huge fans of HubSpot Academy, we are passionate, committed education advocates. I mean heck, look at my own story — I'm here today, as an agency owner, because of organizations like HubSpot that believe in selflessly educating others.
However, while folks those at HubSpot can provide you with all of the resources you ever need to level-up your career and your life, it's up to you to grab those opportunities for learning with both hands.
And one incredible opportunity is coming your way in just a few short weeks:
For one week, HubSpot is encouraging inbounders of all roles and experience levels to dive into HubSpot Academy and earn their certifications — and for every certification you earn, they will donate $5 to an education-focused charity, which is just amazing.
