*Great* advice for experienced designers who need to develop adjacent skills. Beginners need guidance and actionable first steps. This would be too big a challenge, I think.

If I were new in design, I would follow one basic rule: "Build the thing." Do not only make the concept or the research or the design. Put the thing into the world. Simple as that! This will teach you more than any school, agency, or tech job.

No one Said it had to be perfect or that you should not get guidance. A wobbly app or a basic product. Its all about learning What goes in to creating something. To me learning early that you Can build stuff on your own is super empowering.
