More Than A Dream: Saphira's Practical Path to Success
SHARE THIS:
Sometimes, the road to success isn’t straight—it winds, twists, and opens unexpected doors. For Saphira Evani Fitriansyah, that road began with a childhood dream of becoming a graphic designer. Inspired by creativity and imagination, she even once aspired to work at Disney. But as she approached adulthood, practical realities began to reshape her path.
Coming from a middle-class family in Indonesia, and with two younger sisters, Saphira knew her decisions couldn’t be based on passion alone. Stability, opportunity, and efficiency had to guide her journey too. That’s when she decided to pursue a business degree—merging her love for creativity with a more secure and scalable career path.
Challenging the Status Quo of Education
However, traditional education in Indonesia quickly proved to be a challenge. Saphira noticed a common problem: many graduates lacked the hands-on experience employers were looking for. The system emphasized theory over practice, leaving students unprepared for the real world. In addition, the cost and time commitment of a standard four-year degree made it harder for her to commit to the conventional route.
She needed something different—faster, more practical, and more relevant to the ever-evolving job market.
The eduCLaaS Discovery: A Global Solution at Home
Saphira first heard about eduCLaaS through her school. At first, she was skeptical. A bootcamp that also provided internships, mentorship, and real-world projects sounded too good to be true. But after diving deeper into the program, she realized it was exactly what she was looking for.
“At first, I wasn’t sure if it was real. How could a program offer practical learning, mentorship, and internships while still helping you earn a degree? But the more I explored, the more I felt like this was made for students like me—who needed a smarter, faster, more efficient way to build a career.”
eduCLaaS offered:
- Hands-on experience from the start, not just textbooks and lectures.
- A strong focus on digital business, which allowed her to bring together creativity and strategy.
- An internationally accredited degree and the opportunity to work with a global community—all from the comfort of her home country.
It was as if studying abroad—a dream she once thought out of reach—had come to her.
From Bootcamp to Boardroom: A Journey of Transformation
The bootcamp experience with eduCLaaS was nothing short of transformative. Not only did Saphira learn technical skills like social media management, video editing, and campaign planning, but she also built vital soft skills in communication, teamwork, and adaptability—especially meaningful for someone who identifies as an introvert.
One of the highlights of the program was the industry project, where she learned how to build a business from scratch. From crafting marketing strategies to understanding consumer behavior, this experience gave her the confidence and clarity she needed to navigate the business world.
Her journey wasn’t without setbacks. Saphira faced multiple rejections during the apprenticeship interview process. But instead of giving up, she used those experiences to grow. Eventually, her perseverance paid off—she landed a role as a Marketing Associate, where she now thrives.
“I didn’t get accepted right away. I failed a few interviews, and it was really disheartening at first. But every ‘no’ became a learning moment. I worked on my communication, practiced more, and kept improving. When I finally got the role, it felt like all the struggle was worth it.”
A New Dream, A New Direction
Today, Saphira has found a career she genuinely loves. She’s passionate about digital marketing, combining the creativity she’s always had with a strong foundation in business. Her role allows her to create meaningful content, manage social media, and lead marketing campaigns—while continuously growing into more strategic roles.
Looking ahead, she dreams of becoming an expert in performance marketing and analytics, with ambitions to work on global campaigns and with big-name brands. While her original dream of being a graphic designer may have evolved, her creative spirit continues to shine—now with even greater impact and reach.
