Why do short term computer courses?

Short term computer courses focus on practical skills. I can immediately use what I learn in real life. Instead of just theory, I get hands-on experience. I learned how to make a website or design graphics that helped me get freelance work. These courses teach things that are useful in everyday work and help me build confidence with computers. Working with tools such as Canva or HTML on actual projects enhanced my portfolio. Membership in online sites such as Upwork exposed me to international clients. Posting my work on social media platforms brought in potential employers. Keeping myself informed about industry tools through course forums made my skills current.
