Talk to a MedCerts Education Consultant Today









You’re ready to graduate from your online career training program. Congratulations! You should be proud of yourself and your academic achievements. While you won’t walk across a stage in a cap and gown, you can and should mark this special occasion and honor it fully. Online programs are equally rigorous, and you’ve worked hard. It’s time to celebrate your efforts.

4 Ideas for Celebrating Your Graduation

Graduation from career training is always worth celebrating. Here are four ideas on how to celebrate graduation.

Host a Celebration Party

Online institutions don’t have in-person celebrations. So, why not make your own? You can create a graduation party full of all the things you love. Make it themed or keep it casual, and then send out invites to friends and family. You could also make it a potluck and ask guests to bring a dish. That way, you keep party planning simple and still ensure everyone enjoys the festivities.

Enjoy a Weekend Getaway

If you’ve been itching to explore new scenery, now is the time. Invite your close friends or make it a family mini-vacation. Whether you want to go off-grid with mountain camping or get cultural in different cities and towns, you’ll gain new perspectives and get to step away from your usual routine. What if you want to make it more destination-oriented? Extend your vacation by a week and enjoy the sights and sounds of long-distance or international travel.

Share Your Knowledge

Learning new skills is exciting. If you’re eager to share your knowledge, why not reach out and volunteer? You could use your IT and problem-solving skills at a charity hackathon. Or, you might support a local nonprofit as they build their website, set up cloud services or secure their computers.

If you’re graduating from an allied health program, you’re already well-equipped to help people in need. Perhaps you could help a nonprofit serving unhoused communities or volunteer at a hospital or nursing home. You might also search for meal-delivery programs to bring a meal and a chat to lower-income or elderly residents. As a bonus, all these activities could be a boost to your resume!

Treat Yourself

After earning your certification, it’s time to spoil yourself without feeling guilty. But you don’t need to go overboard. Treating yourself can be as simple as buying new clothes or sneakers, a gaming console or a fun kitchen gadget – whatever brings you joy.

How To Choose the Ideal Celebration

You want to find graduation celebration ideas that fit your style and interests. Consider these questions:

  • Do you prefer big events or intimate gatherings?

  • How much free time do you have?

  • What is your budget?

  • Does your celebration require good weather?

Knowing your preferences and must-haves can help you choose the ideal way to celebrate graduation.
