From Traditional Education to Digital Success: JM’s Journey with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

Breaking Free from the Traditional Education System
For many students in the Philippines, the traditional education system is the default path—long semesters, rigid curriculums, and uncertain job prospects after graduation. John Michael (JM) Anico was initially on this path, pursuing a degree in Medical Technology at the University of Cebu. However, he soon realized that the traditional route came with challenges: high competition, financial strain, and subjects that didn’t always align with his career goals.
 
“I wanted to be in the medical field, but when I think about the traditional way of learning, it’s going to take a lot of time and money. In healthcare, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get a job—it’s oversaturated and doesn’t pay well.”
 
JM’s turning point came when he discovered eduCLaaS, a work-integrated learning platform that offered a faster, more practical alternative to a traditional degree.
The Challenge: Balancing Academics, Finances, and Future Goals
Like many students, JM faced financial pressures and the need to gain real-world experience while studying. Traditional universities often require years of coursework before students can even begin internships, delaying their entry into the workforce.
 
Additionally, despite the fact JM was deeply involved in student organizations, where he developed leadership and creative skills—he knew he needed industry-aligned skills to stand out in the job market.
 
“In student organizations, I started as a trainee and grew into leadership roles. But I realized that to succeed professionally, I needed more than just extracurricular experience—I needed industry skills.”
 
When JM considered continuing his Medical Technology degree, he hit a wall. The program demanded 4+ years of study with no income, followed by fierce competition for jobs. The traditional path suddenly felt like a gamble—one he couldn’t afford.
The Solution: eduCLaaS’s Work-Study Model
When JM joined eduCLaaS, he found our bachelor’s degree program that combined hands-on learning with real job experience captivating. Unlike traditional schooling, eduCLaaS’s bachelor’s degree allowed him to:
  • Earn while learning, reducing financial strain.
  • Gain industry certifications (like Facebook (Meta) and HubSpot) that boosted his resume and employability.
  • Work on real projects as a marketing associate from his second year, giving him a competitive edge.
The boot camp’s practical approach was a game-changer. Instead of passive lectures, JM engaged in live exercises, campaign creation, strategy optimization and more—skills he could immediately apply in his apprenticeship.
 
“The most valuable part was the practical experience. We didn’t just learn theory—we did live campaigns, analyzed results, and optimized strategies. That’s how I really understood digital marketing.”
Career and Learning Progress: From Student to Marketing Professional
Landing his apprenticeship as a Marketing Associate at eduCLaaS was just the beginning for JM. The real transformation happened when he started applying his classroom knowledge to real business challenges—something traditional students rarely experience before graduation.
 
  • Campaign Creation: JM took charge of designing and optimizing paid ad campaigns, moving from theory to execution.
” My experience was mostly all about campaigns. It’s entertaining to segregate budgets, place creatives, and analyze results. I went from knowing nothing to owning entire campaigns.”
 
  • Team Collaboration: During his apprenticeship, JM learned to adapt to diverse leadership styles while sharpening his technical skills.
“In the longer run, with different instructors in eduCLaaS or different managers that I’ve had. They had different instructions, they guided me differently, but it all actually helped. So, in another way, they actually helped me develop my skills on campaign creations and on social media.”
JM’s Advice for Future Students
For students hesitant about stepping away from traditional education, JM’s message is clear:
“Sometimes our plans don’t always work out, but the world has different opportunities for us. If an opportunity comes your way—even if you don’t know how to do it yet—take it, learn, and grow.”

From Seafaring Dreams to Digital Realities: Bryan’s Unexpected Pivot with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

For Bryan Francis Octaviano Encarnacion, the sea was once his dream. As a Senior High School student on the marine strand, his plan was crystal clear: become a seafarer through a Norwegian scholarship, travel the world, and build a stable career. But life had different plans. When the scholarship didn’t come through, Bryan found himself at a crossroads—unsure of what to do next.
 
That’s when he discovered eduCLaaS.
 
“I never thought I’d end up in tech. Maritime was my plan for years, and when that fell through, I was lost. But when eduCLaaS came to my school, it was like a door opened out of nowhere. I didn’t know what I was getting into, but I had this curiosity about technology and design—and that curiosity changed everything.”
Why He Didn’t Choose the Traditional Path
While his shift away from maritime might seem like a change of heart, Bryan’s decision was largely shaped by financial reality. Without a scholarship, university tuition felt out of reach, and he wasn’t ready to commit to another uncertain career path. But there was something about eduCLaaS that made sense: it was affordable, future-forward, and offered practical learning with a clear line of sight to employment.
 
Instead of spending years in lecture halls, Bryan saw an opportunity to learn by doing, in a way that felt more aligned with how he wanted to grow.
The Hands-On Path that Rewired His Thinking
Starting out in a tech course with no background in IT wasn’t easy. The first few modules of the BSIT major in Software Engineering hit hard—Bryan describes it as a culture shock. The shift from marine lessons to coding logic and assessments was jarring. But that shock soon turned into growth.
 
“I didn’t expect it to be this challenging. The first module was rough, and the assessments pushed me to my limits. But that struggle taught me discipline, focus, and most importantly, how to think and communicate like a professional. You can’t just deliver 80% in the real world—companies expect you to show up with excellence.”
 
The program taught him more than just technical skills—it reshaped his mindset. From understanding how to interact with supervisors to writing emails and collaborating on projects, Bryan learned the nuances of professionalism in a remote corporate environment.
From the Outside, It Looks Easy—But It’s Not
Bryan’s friends in traditional universities often joke about how lucky he is to study from home. They envy the flexibility, the lack of commute, and the autonomy. But Bryan is quick to clarify that his path isn’t easier—just different.
 
While they memorize theories, he’s out there solving real-world problems. While they prepare for midterms, he’s building portfolios and practicing mock interviews. The pressure is different, but the learning is deep and immersive.
 
“They think I’m chilling at home, but the reality is, I’m facing a completely different kind of challenge. I’m working on actual deliverables, following deadlines, presenting my work, and learning how to think critically. This isn’t spoon-fed education—it’s professional preparation.”

Course

Redefining His Future in Tech
Today, Bryan is no longer chasing a maritime dream. He’s building a new vision—one where he’s digitally empowered, professionally confident, and ready to contribute to the modern workforce. The unexpected shift to eduCLaaS didn’t just reroute his career path—it redefined his purpose.

Redefining the Path

Redefining the Path: Dharma’s Journey Beyond Traditional Learning

SHARE THIS:

Rising from Uncertainty and Natural Disasters
Kadek Dharma Prana Wangsa grew up in Bali, Indonesia—surrounded by serene coastlines and the creative energy of coffee shops and music. But behind the calm exterior, his journey was shaped by challenges many would find overwhelming.
 
After facing a series of setbacks—including a volcanic eruption and the global COVID-19 pandemic—Dharma’s family found themselves in a tough financial situation. At the same time, the sudden shift to online learning during high school added to his struggle.
 
“The learning process was a bit hard at first because you don’t have a real-time mentor to ask… No, let’s just be real—it’s better to have it offline rather than online in my opinion.”
 
Despite these obstacles, Dharma stayed diligent. He wasn’t the loudest or most standout student, but he worked quietly and consistently toward something more.
Rethinking the Traditional Path
Upon graduating from Senior High School, Dharma found himself at a crossroads. The conventional path in Bali mirrors much of Southeast Asia: finish high school, go to university for four years, complete an internship, and then secure a job. Dharma initially chose this direction. He even applied to a traditional university.
   
“I didn’t choose it right away. I was still leaning toward the normal university path.”
 
His mindset changed after a long conversation with his father, who emphasized the importance of practical work experience and the inefficiencies of a purely academic route.
 
“He made me realize how difficult it would be to succeed without experience. That’s when I started considering eduCLaaS seriously.”
 
Ultimately, two key factors swayed his decision: the promise of strong future career prospects and the encouragement of his family. The Digital Business program he enrolled in would offer not just academic knowledge but the chance to gain real-world experience early.
From Zero Experience to Project-Ready
What made Dharma’s journey unique wasn’t just his choice to buck tradition—it was how he started. When he joined eduCLaaS, he had never touched a personal laptop before. His first exposure to a digital workspace happened on the same day as his first class.
 
“It was a nervous moment. Everything was digital, and I had no background at all. Even though I had zero experience, my classmates and mentor made the transition smooth.”
 
The program structure—modular, project-based, and condensed—helped him stay engaged in ways that traditional semester-based formats never did. Each module offered a fresh start and a new challenge, allowing him to focus on one topic at a time.
Learning by Doing: Dharma’s Turning Point
Instead of feeling overwhelmed, Dharma quickly adapted thanks to the supportive mentors and classmates. The hands-on projects turned challenges into learning moments—especially one key project that, with guidance, became his strongest asset in job interviews. What once felt intimidating became the foundation of his success.
 
“Even though I had zero experience, the practical project became my strongest bullet during interviews.”
 
He especially struggled with the omnichannel module, which required integrating various marketing tools like Meta Ads, HubSpot, and WordPress. But with guidance from his mentor and collaboration with classmates, Dharma turned things around and completed a successful project.
Early Career Success—and Ambition for More
Dharma’s success didn’t end with program completion. He began his journey as a Marketing Associate, applying what he learned in real-world settings. Today, even before graduating, he holds a position many fresh graduates aspire to: Digital Marketing Executive. He attributes his rapid career progress to the skills and confidence he gained through eduCLaaS.
 
But Dharma is far from complacent. His eyes are already set on his next goal: becoming a Digital Marketing Manager.
 
“In the future, well, for now I have achieved one of my goals—to be promoted into a Digital Marketing Executive. Of course, I want to become a manager someday. But first, I need to learn everything about my current role. There’s still so much more I want to understand.”
 
His approach remains rooted in humility and continuous growth—a quality that sets him apart in a world obsessed with quick wins.
Advice to Future Learners
Looking back on his journey, Dharma has one piece of advice for students considering a non-traditional path:
 
“No matter how good the program is, it won’t work if the dedication doesn’t come from you. I’ve seen students fail—not because the program was lacking, but because they didn’t give their full effort.”

Course

Find Your Own Path
Kadek Dharma’s journey—from laptop novice to Digital Marketing Executive—shows what’s possible when determination meets opportunity. In a world where traditional degrees are no longer the only path to success, his story is a powerful example of how a different approach can lead to faster, more meaningful career outcomes.

From Conventional Paths to Courageous Choices

From the Usual to the Unexpected: Sajatha’s Breakthrough in Digital Business

SHARE THIS:

From Conventional Paths to Courageous Choices
For many students in Sri Lanka, the post-high school route is straightforward: complete your A-levels, then pursue a university degree abroad. This was the case for Sajatha’s siblings and peers—but not for him.
“I had done my A levels and got pretty good results… I was considering options, you know, checking out universities and seeing where I could go. Then I got this phone call from my local campus about this work-study degree. It was pretty new to Sri Lanka.”
 
While the traditional bachelor’s degree route meant going overseas, Sajatha saw something different in the eduCLaaS Digital Business program: an opportunity to gain real-world experience while earning a globally recognized degree. But it wasn’t without concern.
 
“There were no other batches above us doing Digital Business. It was a big risk… We even contacted University of Roehampton to verify it was legit.” But the work-study model, lower costs, and ability to be financially independent convinced him—and his parents—that this path was worth pursuing.
 
So, what made him say yes?
  1. Real-world experience before graduation
    “Most companies now look for work experience more than the degree itself. This gave me a big advantage.”
  2. Financial independence
    “From the second year onwards, I paid for my own tuition… I wanted to take that burden off my parents.”
  3. Pandemic-proof learning
    “After COVID, traveling to a university seemed impossible. This gave me flexibility without disruption.”
A Learning Experience That Actually Feels Real
From his very first orientation week, Sajatha was struck by how different this was from traditional learning. His classes were filled with hands-on projects, practical scenarios, and interactive mentors.
 
One standout experience? A marketing simulation project.
 
“Our mentor made us believe we were launching a real cafe business. We created social media profiles, built a website, and developed a marketing strategy. It felt real—and that’s what made it so effective.”
 
He especially struggled with SEO at first—until he applied it in practice.
 
“SEO is quite hard to understand if you just rely on theory. But going into the backend, inserting keywords into blogs… that helped everything click.”
Skills That Set His Career in Motion
Among all the skills he learned, one platform became pivotal in his career: HubSpot.
 
“We were introduced to HubSpot during bootcamp. Since then, I’ve been working with it at my job. It’s helped me grow so much professionally.”
 
And the flexibility of the program helped him solve even logistical challenges. When time zone differences caused him to miss important lessons, he and a fellow Sri Lankan student coordinated with eduCLaaS to adjust their schedules to avoid missing core content—a change traditional universities would rarely accommodate.
From Marketing Associate to Executive: Navigating the Next Level
Sajatha’s journey didn’t stop after the bootcamp. Once he secured his first role as a Marketing Associate, the real challenge began—translating what he learned into consistent performance in the workplace. At first, he struggled to keep up with the fast pace and the level of independence expected from him.
 
“I had the foundation, but there was still so much to learn on the job—tools, deadlines, client expectations.” The pressure was real, and imposter syndrome crept in. But instead of letting it overwhelm him, he leaned into the same hands-on approach that had worked during his bootcamp.
 
He revisited his eduCLaaS project materials, rewatched LinkedIn Learning modules provided during the program, and even reached out to mentors when he hit roadblocks. Most importantly, he brought a problem-solving mindset to work—taking ownership of digital campaigns, experimenting with strategies, and tracking performance data using HubSpot, a tool he had already mastered during training.
 
That proactive attitude paid off.
 
Within months, Sajatha’s work began turning heads. He wasn’t just executing tasks—he was analyzing results, suggesting improvements, and delivering real impact. That growth mindset, combined with real-world readiness, earned him a promotion to Digital Marketing Executive even before graduating from the program.
Looking Ahead: Dreams of Building Something of His Own
Now working as a Digital Marketing Executive, Sajatha is already thinking bigger.
 
“In five years, I want to open my own marketing agency. I’ll start small—maybe with some trusted colleagues—and gradually build a client base. Eventually, I want to step away from full-time work and manage my own business.”
 
His advice to other students?
 
That proactive attitude paid off.
 
“Don’t just accept the first company that hires you. If you don’t match their values, it’ll be a waste of time. Find work that you love, with a company you align with.”

Course

Break Free Like Sajatha
Sajatha’s journey is proof that a non-traditional path can lead to extraordinary results. By choosing a program that values hands-on experience, global exposure, and flexibility, he’s not just studying—he’s building his future.
 
If you’re ready to design your own path—one that aligns with your goals and passions—

Shaping the Future of Philippine Higher Ed

CECON Leaders Dive Into AI-Powered Learning at eduCLaaS HQ: Shaping the Future of Philippine Higher Ed

SHARE THIS:

Singapore, June 9, 2025 – In a bold step toward shaping 21st-century education in the Philippines, The Council of Economics Educators (CECON) visited the eduCLaaS Headquarters in Singapore to experience how AI-powered, adaptive learning is transforming classrooms across Asia. Hosted by eduCLaaS, the visit gave the delegation a deep dive into the Adaptive CLaaS® model—an industry-aligned platform built to close the skills gap, enable personalized learning at scale, and prepare graduates for success in digital-first economies. CECON, a 50+ member network of academic leaders and a long-standing partner of government agencies like CHED (Commission on Higher Education), DepEd (Department of Education), and PCDEB (Philippine Council of Deans and Educators in Business), has been championing innovative teaching in economics education since 1997. This visit reflects the group’s commitment to global benchmarking and future-ready pedagogy.
As higher education stands at the crossroads of AI disruption, institutions must rethink how learning is delivered and measured. eduCLaaS responds with its Adaptive CLaaS® Platform—an AI-powered, work-integrated model built to help universities shift from degree-first to skills-first learning. By embedding real-world applications into the academic journey, the platform empowers both students and educators to thrive in an increasingly digital, outcomes-driven economy.
During the visit, the CECON delegation—composed of senior academic leaders from 11 public and private HEIs representing Metro Manila and key regions across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao — explored how the Adaptive CLaaS® solution enables institutions to scale hybrid-flexible, job-aligned learning. The presentation highlights the platform’s four proprietary AI agents—CLaaS Developer, Curriculum, Mentor, and Manager—which collectively support personalized curriculum design, real-time learner engagement, and institutional performance management.
“This platform enables universities to move beyond one-size-fits-all learning models,” says Mr. Leslie Loh, Founder & CEO of eduCLaaS, during his keynote presentation. “We are redefining how academic programs can adapt to workforce needs—turning education into a lifelong, scalable solution.”
The delegation explores use cases across tech-lite and deep-tech disciplines, with discussions emphasizing the ASEAN region’s need for modular, stackable digital credentials. A particular highlight is the platform’s ability to support diverse learners—from undergraduates to alumni—through competency-based upskilling and flexible career pathways.
Representing some of the Philippines’ most respected public and private academic institutions, the delegation brought together deans, vice presidents, senior professors, and academic officers—united by a shared commitment to champion innovation and future-ready education across the country. The visit also underscored a growing recognition among Philippine HEIs: that lifelong learning, upskilling, and cross-border collaboration are essential pillars for building resilient, globally competitive universities.
“Complementing the Adaptive CLaaS® showcase is a deep dive into Adaptive Learning, where eduCLaaS experts demonstrate how AI technology reimagines both academic and corporate learning ecosystems,” explains Mr. Krishnamoorthy Ramoo, Co-Founder & COO of eduCLaaS. “Through strategic frameworks, real-world case studies, and implementation strategies, CECON members gain practical insights into building efficient, personalized, and future-ready learning experiences.”
Course
The visit also featured a strategic Q&A and roundtable dialogue exploring collaboration opportunities in CPD accreditation, faculty upskilling, short course integration, and cross-regions pilot programs. Delegates toured the eduCLaaS facility to experience firsthand its smart or digital learning infrastructure, AI-powered teaching tools, and dynamic, industry-aligned classroom environments.
“We are deeply honored to welcome the CECON delegation,” COO of eduCLaaS adds “Their commitment to forward-thinking education aligns perfectly with our mission to shape adaptive, AI-powered institutions.”
The session wrapped up with networking, photo documentation, and meaningful exchanges—setting the stage for deeper collaboration. Both sides expressed strong interest in building long-term academic partnerships through knowledge sharing, innovation-driven projects, and regional engagement. Early conversations are also underway to explore how eduCLaaS can support Philippine HEIs in shaping their digital transformation strategies, serving as a strategic partner in advancing future-ready education in the country.

Leveraging Independence to Create Impact

Leveraging Independence to Create Impact: Oona’s Journey with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

Early Independence: The Roots of Responsibility
Oona Saergee Ibona’s story begins with a childhood marked by independence. With her parents often absent and home life minimal even during high school, she learned early on to navigate life on her own. What once felt normal later revealed itself as a powerful foundation—shaping her into someone adaptable, resilient, and self-reliant. These early lessons naturally led her to take charge of her future, emphasizing smart, responsible decisions that would secure both financial independence and professional growth.
Facing Reality: The Hurdles of Higher Education
As she approached the next phase of life, Oona encountered two major obstacles: employability and affordability. She noticed that even entry-level job listings often preferred candidates with experience—a catch-22 for fresh graduates.
 
I kind of know that having a degree doesn’t guarantee you a job after graduating. I’ve seen job descriptions “we accept fresh grads, but we prefer those with experiences.” So, what do I do if I encounter something like that?
 
At the same time, quality education seemed financially out of reach, with private universities being costly and public ones extremely competitive. The uncertainty of burdening her parents with tuition fees made her question if traditional university paths were even viable.
 
My other concern is the cost, because we can’t cover it. The cost is pretty high, especially if you go to a good university. It means it’s either state universities or the expensive ones. The cost will really be a problem for my parents.
Finding a Way Forward: The eduCLaaS Breakthrough
Everything changed when Oona discovered eduCLaaS. The earn-while-you-learn model of their Bachelor’s Degree program offered a solution to both of her problems. She could fund her own education through real work, lifting the financial weight off her parents.
 
What drove me to eduCLaaS? It’s the earn while you learn model. It was appealing. Being able to cover your education fees with the money you’ve earned.
 
Just as importantly, she’d gain practical, on-the-job experience while studying—an ideal combination for someone determined to be career-ready by graduation.
 
Then work-study also. You get to work and study at the same time. When you graduate, you will get three years of work experience already.
 
With this model, Oona wasn’t just earning a degree; she was building a resume at the same time.
Growth in Action: Learning Beyond the Classroom
Oona’s transition from student to working professional was transformative. Digital marketing classroom lessons evolved into hands-on skills in the workplace. She sharpened her time management, problem-solving, and communication abilities while working with diverse teams on real marketing campaigns. The work-study format accelerated her development, giving her insight into how businesses function and how she could contribute meaningfully.
 
The first module that we had was “website development. That was the hardest module because we have to go through WordPress, but I think that was the best chapter that we had. I was actually commended for my website that I made. I was labeled as the benchmark of the class. So, I was actually pretty motivated and thought that maybe I was made for this.
 
Her dedication paid off—she was eventually hired as a Marketing Associate at eduCLaaS. In her first few months, she was eager to take on anything that came her way—a feeling many first-time employees can relate to. The excitement naturally ebbed, but things took a meaningful turn when she was transferred to another business unit. The work became more challenging, more serious—and she thrived in it. With steady support from her manager and director, she was given hands-on opportunities to grow and apply what she had learned during the 12-month bootcamp. From social media and email marketing to lead management and paid campaigns, Oona found herself increasingly confident in her contributions.
 
Her dedication and maturity didn’t go unnoticed. Despite the inevitable challenges of real-world work, she remained professional, responsible, and deeply passionate about her role. Over time, she stopped being seen as a student and started being treated as a full-fledged team member. That shift in mindset and behavior ultimately led to her promotion to Digital Marketing Executive—a proud milestone that marked the beginning of her professional career beyond the apprenticeship.
A Degree with Purpose and Experience

A New Approach to Higher Education

Blog

Let's Rewind- eduCLaaS Open Day Solo

SHARE THIS:

On May 17, 2025, eduCLaaS Open Day brought together students, parents, educators, and professionals for a full day of discovery, career clarity, and opportunity in Solo. From early morning until the last closing speech, one message came through loud and clear: higher education doesn’t have to follow the old path anymore. It can be faster, more practical, and aligned with the real job market.
 
If you’re a student trying to decide your next step or a parent seeking the best options for your child’s future, this blog is your complete recap of the event. We’ll walk you through what made the day so special, how eduCLaaS is transforming education in Southeast Asia, and why more families are choosing work-integrated, flexible learning models that focus on real outcomes.
🎓 A New Approach to Higher Education
At the heart of the Open Day was a bold, yet simple idea:

Students can earn a degree and gain real work experience all while they study.

This work-integrated learning model is the foundation of eduCLaaS programs. Instead of delaying career entry until after graduation, students learn through a blended system that combines
  • University-level education (Bachelor’s degree programs from accredited institutions)
  • Real-world projects from partner companies
This system solves one of the biggest concerns for students and families today:

“How do we make sure education leads to real jobs and not just diplomas?”

With this model, learning becomes immediately relevant to the job market. Students graduate not only with a degree but also with a portfolio, industry experience, and professional connections.
🧭 Info Session: A Deep Dive into eduCLaaS’ Unique Pathway
Throughout the day, students and parents sat down with experienced advisors to talk through
  • Which industries are growing and hiring
  • How to choose a program based on skills, not just school subjects
  • What combination of study and work would best support their goals
For many attendees, this was the first time anyone had personalized a learning journey to match a student’s long-term career aspirations.
 
Parents left these sessions feeling more confident that their child’s decisions were being guided by data, logic, and care—not just pressure or guesswork.
 
And good news: if you missed the event, you could still book a FREE Career and Learning Consultation and discuss the following for free!
💼 The Programs: A Fast Track to Degree + Career
The Open Day also introduced visitors to the specific programs offered at eduCLaaS. Here’s what students can choose from:
 
🔹 Software Engineering
For those interested in building apps, websites, or tech platforms. This program covers programming, development, and backend/frontend design.
 
🔹 Digital Business
Focused on branding, strategy, and how to grow businesses in today’s digital-first world.
  1. Online learning (flexible, accessible, and university-accredited)
  2. Industry projects (real tasks from real companies)
And all of them lead to a globally recognized bachelor’s degree—without having to go abroad or take on large student loans.
🏫 A Flexible, Modern Alternative to Traditional University
Here’s the reality: not all students thrive in a purely academic environment. Not everyone can afford to wait four years before earning money or gaining job experience.

eduCLaaS offers a path that is
  • ✅ Flexible (online and hybrid options)
  • ✅ Career-oriented (focused on in-demand digital and business skills)
  • ✅ Supportive (with mentoring, project coaching, and peer community)
For parents, this model provides peace of mind: your child isn’t just studying but also actively preparing for the job market from day one.

For students, it provides freedom to grow, explore, and build something real—without waiting for “after graduation.”
🎤 Workshops, Talks, and Industry Insight
To make the day more engaging, eduCLaaS invited the speaker El Muhammad to provide an insight into deep tech career opportunities.
  • International Work Opportunity
  • High Demand for Tech Talent Worldwide
  • Pros & Cons of Working Abroad in the Tech Industry
  • Steps to Launch Your IT Career Internationally
One quote from the speaker was

“We live in an era where physical location no longer limits opportunity. The internet, the cloud, and collaborative technologies have opened the doors of the world to anyone who’s ready.”

These sessions also helped to challenge the common stigma that online students aren’t truly learning or doing anything just because they’re at home. The interactive format, hands-on content, and career-oriented approach showed that with the right support and structure, online and hybrid education can be just as rigorous—and even more relevant—than traditional classroom models.
📌 What Parents Asked (And How We Answered)
We know parents have important questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked topics from the event:
 
❓ “Will my child receive a real degree?”
Yes—eduCLaaS partners with accredited international universities. All degrees are valid, recognized, and can be used for career or graduate study globally.
 
❓ “How do the internships work?”
Students are connected to vetted partner companies that offer real projects and part-time roles during the program. These can be online or hybrid.
 
❓ “Is this only for students with a tech background?”
Not at all. Many students join with zero experience. The programs are designed to start from foundational knowledge and grow from there.

Hands-On Learning with eduCLaaS Over Traditional College

Testimonial

Why Allen Chose Hands-On Learning with eduCLaaS Over Traditional College—And How It Paid Off

SHARE THIS:

Overcoming Academic and Financial Challenges
Allen Doroja, a 22-year-old from the Philippines, always saw himself as an average student. Growing up in a middle-class family with a retired police officer father, financial constraints limited his opportunities—especially his dream of becoming an athlete.
 
“When I was young, I really wanted to become an athlete. Unfortunately, since we were young, I’m the eldest, and I have another sibling. So financially, my parents couldn’t support me.”
 
Despite his passion for sports, Allen explored different career paths—first in sports science, then law—before realizing traditional education wasn’t the right fit. The pressure of grades, long study hours, and financial strain made him reconsider his options.
Discovering a Practical Alternative with eduCLaaS
Allen’s turning point came when a seminar introduced him to eduCLaaS, a work-study platform offering hands-on education and industry experience. Unlike traditional universities, eduCLaaS’s Bachelors’ degree program provided:
 
  • Self-paced learning with a focus on digital skills.
  • Three years of industry experience before graduation.
  • Earning opportunities through apprenticeships—something rare in the Philippines.
 
“The total three years of experience in the industry was a big factor. Here in the Philippines, you never get experience until you graduate. Companies ask for resumes with experience, which is why many of my high school classmates still don’t have jobs.”
 
Initially enrolling in Software Engineering, Allen found the course too intense and switched to Digital Business, where he thrived in marketing, content creation, and analytics.
From Bootcamp to Apprenticeship: Building Real-World Skills
The bootcamp was challenging but rewarding. Allen learned:
 
  • Social media marketing (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram).
  • Content creation (Canva, video editing).
  • Data analytics (Google Analytics, HubSpot).
 
However, the biggest hurdle was communication. Working remotely with international teams forced him out of his comfort zone.
 
“I’m an introvert—I don’t like talking to people. But here, I gained confidence in speaking with colleagues and managers. I learned professionalism and how to ask the right questions.”
 
After multiple interviews, he secured an apprenticeship at eduCLaaS as a Marketing Associate, where he now manages campaigns, workflows, and social media strategies.
Balancing Work, Study, and Growth
Juggling work and studies wasn’t easy. Allen’s schedule includes:
 
  • Full-time work (Mon-Fri).
  • Friday night classes
  • Continuous upskilling in analytics, a skill he’s eager to master.
 
Despite the stress, he appreciates the real-world applicability of his education—something traditional schools couldn’t offer.
 
“In the Philippines, universities make you study unrelated subjects like math or P.E. instead of focusing on your major. At eduCLaaS, everything I learn is directly useful for my career.”
Confidence for the Future
With nine months of apprenticeship experience, Allen rates his job-market confidence at 8.5/10. Unlike peers struggling to find work, he’ll graduate with three years of industry experience, making him a strong candidate.
 
His advice for future students?
 
“Just hold on—it’s a stressful ride. Communication is key because you’ll work with people worldwide. You can’t be the quiet type her . If you engage with teachers and peers, they’ll guide you.”

Path to Success

Testimonial

Why Sarah Chose Hands-On Learning at eduCLaaS Over a 4-Year Degree

SHARE THIS:

Balancing Passion and Uncertainty
Like many students, Sarah Louise Zosa, a 21-year-old from Cebu, Philippines, once followed the traditional academic path—high school, then college—without questioning whether it would truly prepare her for the workforce.
 
“Our norm, especially here in the Philippines, is just to study and graduate. But the traditional path takes years, and it’s uncertain whether it really prepares you for the job market.”
 
Sarah’s biggest concern was the lack of real-world application in traditional education. She wanted more than just theoretical knowledge—she needed hands-on experience to confidently step into her career.
 
This uncertainty lingered as she approached college, making her hesitant about committing to a four-year degree without clear career prospects.
The Challenge: Breaking Free from Traditional Education
Sarah’s concerns mirrored those of many students today:
  • Uncertainty after graduation – Would her degree guarantee a job?
  • Lack of practical skills – Traditional schooling often focuses on theory over real-world application.
  • Financial constraints – While her family was middle-class, the pandemic had impacted their stability, making career readiness even more crucial.
 
She needed a learning path that would bridge the gap between education and employment—something more dynamic than the conventional route.
Discovering a New Path with eduCLaaS
Sarah’s journey took a turn when she attended an online seminar hosted by eduCLaaS, a program partnered with her university. The “Earn While You Learn” model immediately caught her attention.
 
“My mom was there while I was listening to the seminar, and she said, ‘This is a great opportunity.’ I was a bit skeptical at first because it was new, but the benefits convinced me.”
 
With her mother’s encouragement, Sarah took the leap into eduCLaaS’s boot camp program, where she could gain industry-relevant skills while still pursuing her degree.
Overcoming Challenges, Gaining Skills and Confidence
Transitioning to a new learning model wasn’t without its challenges. Sarah had spent most of her high school and early college years in online classes, and she worried that the digital business bachelor’s degree with eduCLaaS would feel the same.
 
However, the practical, project-based approach changed her perspective.
– Hands-On Learning in Bootcamps
Sarah’s biggest turning point was the capstone project, where she applied everything she learned across 11 modules into a real-world scenario.
 
“The capstone was really hands-on. It was challenging, but applying everything in a real project made everything clear. The practical approach helped me understand how it works in the real world.”
– Developing Marketable Skills
Through eduCLaaS, Sarah honed her graphic design, digital marketing, and content creation skills—areas she had dabbled in before but never professionally.
 
“I improved my graphic design skills and learned digital marketing, content marketing, and email marketing. These skills gave me more confidence and credibility.”
Job Search Support
eduCLaaS didn’t just teach—it guided students into the workforce. Sarah received help from our dedicated talent management team with:
  • Resume building
  • LinkedIn networking
  • Mock interviews
  • Job placement
 
“They guided us in job searches, resume-building, and LinkedIn networking. The most helpful part was learning how to craft a strong resume—it’s the foundation of getting a job.”
 
Now working as a Marketing Associate, Sarah envisions a future where she specializes in digital marketing and content marketing.
 
“I see myself growing in the business and marketing field. The apprenticeship gave me clarity and direction for my long-term goals.”
Advice to Her Younger Self—and Future Learners
Like many students, Sarah initially struggled with self-confidence when entering the job market. Looking back, she’d tell her younger self:
 
“I’d tell my younger self to be more confident and focus on practical skills. If you doubt yourself, you won’t excel. Building connections is just as important as learning. Be confident in what you do. If you keep belittling yourself, you won’t excel. Focus on practical skills and build connections—those are key in the job industry.”
 
Now, as a Marketing Associate, Sarah sees a clear future. Her apprenticeship has given her clarity, direction, and the assurance that she’s on the right path.
Key Takeaways from Sarah’s Journey
  • ✅ Practical learning > Theory – Real-world projects like the capstone solidified her skills.
  • ✅ Confidence is key – Believing in herself opened doors.
  • ✅ Earning while learning accelerates careers – She didn’t have to wait years to gain experience.
 
Sarah’s story proves that alternative education models like eduCLaaS can bridge the gap between learning and employment—giving students the skills, experience, and confidence they need to succeed.
