From Uncertainty to being goal driven: How Gian Found His Strength in Software Engineering

SHARE THIS:

Not everyone has a clear vision for their future—and Gian Raphael Delos Reyes Alcantara knows that all too well. Growing up, he wasn’t the student who topped the class or breezed through exams. In fact, focus and retention were constant battles. But what he lacked in natural academic prowess, he made up for in persistence.
 
“I’ve never been a naturally smart student. I learn by doing—by getting my hands dirty. When I was in high school, I felt left behind. Everyone seemed to know what they wanted to do, and I was still trying to figure out how to pass my next quiz. But I knew one thing: I wanted a career that would make me feel proud and stable.”
The Harsh Reality of the IT Job Market
As Gian approached college graduation, the excitement of finishing school was quickly overshadowed by a tough reality: breaking into the IT industry wasn’t easy—especially in the Philippines.
 
Most job openings, even for entry-level positions, demanded prior work experience. Internships alone weren’t always enough. And when it came to financial independence, entry-level pay rarely met the cost of living. It was clear he needed a competitive edge—something more than just a degree.
The Turning Point: Discovering eduCLaaS
By chance, Gian attended a seminar at his university where he heard about eduCLaaS. A professor and a few peers introduced him to the concept of work-integrated learning, and something clicked. The model wasn’t focused on just theory—it was about building practical skills, working on real projects, and being guided by industry experts. For someone who learns by doing, it sounded like the perfect fit.
 
“When I learned about eduCLaaS and how their Software Engineering program worked, it just made sense. I needed real-world skills, not just classroom knowledge. I wanted to come out of a course and actually feel like I could do the job I applied for. That’s what eduCLaaS gave me—a bridge between learning and doing.”
Growth Through Pressure: From Introvert to Leader
The real test came in June 2024. During one of his modules, his team of five was reduced to just three people. The workload didn’t change—but the team size did. It was a sink-or-swim moment.
 
Gian stepped up.
 
As an introvert, leadership didn’t come naturally. But necessity is the best teacher. He learned to break down tasks, manage the technical aspects of the project, coordinate with his teammates, and ensure they met deadlines without compromising quality.
 
It was more than a module—it was a personal transformation.

Course

Prepared for What’s Ahead
Today, Gian is a different person. He’s gone from unsure student to confident aspiring software engineer, equipped with hands-on experience, industry exposure, and a growth mindset. Through real challenges, not hypothetical case studies, he learned what it takes to thrive in the tech world.
 
And while his journey wasn’t perfect or linear, it was authentic, resilient, and real—just like him.

From Struggle to Skill

From Struggle to Skill: Joewen's Journey into the Tech World with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

For Joewen Arabelle Obillo, academic success was always more than just personal achievement—it was a commitment to her family. Raised by parents who ran a small business and worked tirelessly despite financial struggles, Joewen was taught the values of perseverance, discipline, and sacrifice. She carried those lessons into her school life, striving to meet high expectations and earn top grades.
 
“Growing up, I felt this deep responsibility to do well—not just for myself, but for my parents who worked so hard to give me a good life. Every grade I earned was like a thank-you to them, and I didn’t want to let them down.”
 
But as college approached, Joewen began to see that grades weren’t enough in the real world. She needed more than academic excellence—she needed practical skills and real experience to stand out.
A System That Felt Too Slow and Too Costly
In the Philippines, the traditional education path typically requires four more years of study after senior high school. For Joewen, whose family was struggling financially this wasn’t a realistic option. Tuition costs were rising, and she felt a pressing need to start earning and supporting her family.
 
Initially, she considered stopping after her ICT strand in senior high, thinking it might be enough to land a job. But reality hit hard—the job market demanded more than just basic knowledge.
 
“I thought my ICT background would get me through, but I quickly realized that without specialized skills and hands-on experience, I’d just be one of many in a crowd of job seekers. I needed a better path—a smarter one.”
Discovering a Faster, Smarter Path with eduCLaaS
That smarter path came in the form of eduCLaaS. Joewen discovered the program and was immediately drawn to its practical, skills-first approach and the promise of early career acceleration. Instead of waiting four years to start working, eduCLaaS offered a way to learn while building a portfolio and preparing for the workforce.
 
She enrolled in the BSIT major in Software Engineering, a decision that would change her life.
 
eduCLaaS program’s mix of hands-on learning, real-world projects, and dedicated talent support (including resume building, mock interviews, and career coaching) helped Joewen gain both confidence and clarity in her career direction.
From Coding Struggles to UI/UX Passion
Coming from an ICT strand, Joewen initially found the leap into software engineering intimidating. Logic-based coding wasn’t easy, and there were moments of self-doubt. But the practical exercises, team projects, and continuous feedback at eduCLaaS helped her steadily improve.
 
Along the way, she discovered a passion for front-end development and UI/UX design, where her love for creativity met her growing technical skills.
 
“The moment I started working on UI/UX, I felt like I had finally found where I belonged. I loved the challenge of making technology more human, more beautiful, and more usable. It wasn’t just about code anymore—it was about solving real problems and creating better experiences.”
 
She’s now fluent in languages like PHP and Java, and has completed impactful web development projects that have strengthened herportfolio and boosted her career prospects.
A Shift in Dream, A Leap Toward Purpose
Joewen once dreamed of becoming a game developer, but her journey at eduCLaaS reshaped her vision. Today, she’s focused on becoming a web designer or front-end developer, working on user-centric platforms and tools that make a real-world impact.
 
Her long-term goal? To grow as a front-end specialist and explore creative design on a deeper level—blending logic and artistry to shape tomorrow’s digital world.

Course

Final Reflections
Looking back, Joewen says choosing eduCLaaS was one of the most empowering decisions of her life. It gave her not just skills, but also clarity, confidence, and career direction—all within a framework that understood and supported her reality.
 
She no longer worries about falling behind or being unprepared. Instead, she moves forward knowing she has both the competence and the resilience to thrive in the competitive tech industry.

From Self-Learning to Full Stack Success

From Self-Learning to Full-Stack Success: Azer’s Journey with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

A Curious Mind with a Big Dream
For Azer Gepiga Sagucio, learning was always a personal adventure. Growing up in the Philippines, he spent hours listening to music and reading books—activities that naturally fueled his love for self-learning. That curiosity led him to discover coding during senior high school, and from that moment, he knew exactly what he wanted: to become a software engineer.
 
“I’ve always been a curious and independent learner,” Azer shares. “I love discovering things on my own, and technology gave me endless opportunities to do just that.”
 
With a strong academic focus and a practical mindset shaped by his family’s careful approach to finances, Azer was determined to make the most of his education—without putting too much strain on his loved ones.
When the Traditional Path Didn’t Fit
Azer initially planned to follow the traditional route: earn a degree, get certifications, land internships. But then the pandemic hit—and with it, a wave of uncertainty. He was forced to pause his college education and question if this path was truly helping him grow the way he wanted.
 
“I realized that traditional education might not provide the hands-on experience or the fast-track to employment I needed,” he says. “I was unsure how to balance gaining practical skills with the time and financial constraints I faced.”
 
That realization pushed him to explore alternatives that were more aligned with his career ambitions.
Discovering the Right Fit with eduCLaaS
When Azer’s school introduced the eduCLaaS work-study program, he knew it was the opportunity he had been waiting for.
 
“I immediately signed up because it aligned with my goals—gaining real industry experience while studying,” he says.
 
Unlike conventional learning models, eduCLaaS offered immersive training, real-world projects, and the chance to work while learning. The curriculum was practical and directly linked to what the tech industry demands.
 
“The hands-on approach really prepared me for the actual challenges of software development,” Azer explains.
A Year of Growth and Grit
The 12-month boot camp was intense, but for Azer, it was life-changing. He learned front-end and back-end frameworks such as Laravel and Spring, and strengthened his database management skills with MySQL.
 
One of the biggest turning points came during a project that involved working with outdated frameworks.
 
“I was really frustrated at first,” Azer admits. “But it taught me persistence and resourcefulness. I learned how important it is to understand the bigger picture, not just follow instructions.”
 
Time management was also a personal hurdle. At first, juggling coursework and projects felt overwhelming. But Azer adapted by creating a system that worked for him.
 
“I broke big tasks into smaller, manageable steps and set personal deadlines,” he explains. “That helped me stay consistent and meet my goals.”
From Learner to Technology Associate
Today, Azer is thriving in his apprenticeship as a Technology Associate. The experience has not only sharpened his technical skills but also helped him develop key soft skills that are essential in the workplace.
 
“I’ve become more adaptable and confident in problem-solving,” he says. “Before, I just wanted to be a developer. Now, I feel ready to take on intermediate roles in the industry.”
 
Azer credits eduCLaaS for helping him bridge the gap between education and employment—and for showing him that learning can be both impactful and enjoyable when it’s done right.
Advice for Aspiring Developers
His message to fellow learners? Stay curious, be proactive, and don’t underestimate the value of real-world experience.
 
“Focus on building hands-on skills through projects, network with professionals, and tailor your learning to your goals,” he says. “And most importantly, take time to invest in yourself.”
A Clearer Future, A Stronger Foundation
With eduCLaaS, Azer didn’t just learn how to code—he built the confidence, skills, and experience to thrive as a full-stack developer.
 
“eduCLaaS has been a game-changer for me,” he says. “It’s not just about earning a degree—it’s about building a strong foundation for a successful career.”

From an Average Student to a Career-Ready Professional

From an Average Student to a Career-Ready Professional – Dwayne’s Transformative Journey with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

From Going Through the Motions to Finding Purpose
Like many students, Dwayne Maize Bitoon Santos approached school with a simple goal—getting through academic requirements without much distinction. He wasn’t an outstanding student, nor was he struggling; he was simply going through the motions. However, when the time came to choose a college and career path, he faced a major turning point.
 
Initially, Dwayne considered pursuing marine biology or nursing, two fields that intrigued him. But as he explored his options, he realized that he wanted something different—something that would provide real-world experience alongside education, rather than delaying hands-on learning until after graduation.
Challenges of Traditional Education
One of Dwayne’s biggest concerns with the traditional education system was the gap between learning and real-world experience. Typically, students spend years in a classroom before they gain any hands-on exposure to their field. This delay can make it harder to transition into a career and leaves graduates unprepared for industry demands. He wanted a more integrated approach where he could gain practical experience while learning.
Finding an Alternative Path
Like many students, Sheng faced a big question after graduation:
 
Dwayne’s mother played a key role in helping him discover an alternative. While scrolling through Facebook, she found a post about eduCLaaS promoting their Bachelor’s Degree, a program that offered an earn-while-you-learn model. When she shared it with him, he was immediately intrigued. The idea of gaining work experience while studying aligned perfectly with his goals, so he decided to give it a shot.
 
“Gaining experiences before you graduate, I think that’s very precious because in the traditional path, after you graduate, that’s where you could look for internships or jobs. The program integrating this model where you can work and learn at the same time is very nice”
Dwayne’s eduCLaaS Experience
Adapting to the Software Engineering program was challenging at first. The initial modules introduced new concepts that he had little experience with, making the transition difficult. However, as he progressed, with the help of the mentors, he started developing technical skills that would be invaluable in the industry.
 
“The mentors gave very insightful feedback, especially if we’re having trouble like some of them would give some of their time to teach us, like how to do the certain part in the module so that we could implement it into the final project. I think that they’re very accommodating.”
 
He gained proficiency in GitHub, version control, and software development tools like Laravel and PHP. Industry projects gave him hands-on experience with APIs, including OpenAI API and other advanced technologies. These experiences helped him build confidence and practical expertise that he wouldn’t have gained in a traditional classroom setting.
 
Beyond technical skills, he also developed essential soft skills. Time management became a critical part of his routine, ensuring he could balance coursework and projects efficiently. Communication skills improved as he learned how to present his work to supervisors and collaborate with peers. Teamwork played a crucial role in his growth, as industry projects required seamless coordination and problem-solving with colleagues.
The Outcome
Reflecting on his journey, Dwayne stands by his decision to pursue an alternative path through eduCLaaS. The program delivered exactly what he was looking for—relevant technical knowledge combined with hands-on experience. Though the road wasn’t always easy, the challenges pushed him to grow, and the rewards have been more than worth it. Dwayne now feels confident and career-ready, equipped not just with textbook knowledge, but with practical skills that matter in the real world.
 
He recalls one of the most defining parts of the program:
 
“I would say the industry project is much harder than the entire bootcamp like it was so hard at the beginning because there were some other things that we didn’t know about. But I think that it’s very good because it really gives you a simulation of the work environment of being a software engineer.”
 
This immersive, project-based learning is what sets eduCLaaS apart. For students like Dwayne, who value a job-ready and applied learning approach, programs like this bridge the gap between education and employment—offering more than just theory, but the chance to build real-world confidence.
 
‘I’m pretty confident because I already have these different soft skills and technical skills under my belt so that when I actually go out there in the real world, searching for a job, I think that I’d be able to present these experiences to an employer”
 
Dwayne’s story is a powerful reminder that the path to success doesn’t always follow a traditional route. With eduCLaaS, he didn’t just earn knowledge—he earned experience, confidence, and a clearer vision of his future. Now, he’s not only ready for the workforce but empowered to shape his career on his own terms.

From Maps to Marketing: How Muhammad Ghazy Mutaqin Found His True Calling with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

The journey to success often begins in the most unexpected ways. For Muhammad Ghazy Mutaqin, it started in the quiet corners of his childhood home in Bekasi, Indonesia—poring over books and tracing lines across maps. Though he wasn’t the most academically ambitious student, his curiosity and love for learning were unmistakable.
 
“The seeds of ambition are often planted in the simplest moments,” Ghazy reflects. “For me, those moments were spent exploring the world through books and maps.”
 
In high school, he followed his interest in geography and chose social studies as his major. While he enjoyed learning, he also found fulfillment in participating in school organizations and even ventured into scientific research. Despite these experiences, Ghazy found himself at a crossroads after graduation, uncertain of where to go next.
The Challenge of Choosing a Path
Like many students, Ghazy faced the familiar dilemma of finding a career path that matched his interests and strengths. He initially considered communication studies and international relations but felt held back by his perceived lack of communication and English proficiency.
 
“I wasn’t sure how to bridge the gap between my interests and the skills required in the real world,” he admits.
 
Failing the national university entrance exam (UTBK) only deepened his uncertainty. The traditional route seemed increasingly out of reach, and for a moment, it felt like the door to higher education had closed for good.
Discovering eduCLaaS – A Different Kind of Opportunity
But sometimes, what feels like an end is actually the beginning of something better. Ghazy’s second chance came in the form of eduCLaaS, a digital learning platform for an international bachelor’s degree program, introduced to him by his father. Unlike conventional education, eduCLaaS offered a practical, skills-based curriculum tailored to prepare students for the digital economy—regardless of their academic background.
 
“Hearing stories of people who started with little knowledge but became skilled professionals inspired me to take the leap,” says Ghazy. “It was my opportunity to align my interests in business and marketing with real-world skills.”
 
He joined the program and immediately found himself immersed in a bootcamp that was both challenging and transformative. Modules on digital marketing, social media content creation, ad placement, and website development offered hands-on experience that textbooks couldn’t match.
 
As an introvert, Ghazy also found unexpected growth in communication and collaboration.
 
“eduCLaaS didn’t just teach me—it transformed me,” he says. “It showed me that my past academic struggles didn’t define my future.”
From Student to Apprentice – Gaining Industry Experience
One of the most powerful aspects of the eduCLaaS journey is its apprenticeship model. Ghazy’s industry project marked the beginning of his real-world experience as a marketing associate, working on tools like HubSpot, social media campaigns, and digital marketing strategies.
 
At first, managing time and coordinating with international teams was a struggle. But soon, he developed systems, learned to ask for help, and began collaborating more effectively.
 
“Working with people from different countries pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow—not just technically, but personally too.”
 
Another highlight was his involvement in the Adaptive Curriculum Project, which introduced him to emerging fields like AI prompting. This sparked new interests and helped him see the bigger picture of where technology and business intersect.
A New Vision for the Future
As his confidence grew, so did his aspirations. What began as a general interest in business and marketing evolved into a focused ambition to lead in performance marketing, analytics, and marketing automation. Ghazy now envisions a future where he’s leading impactful digital campaigns and driving measurable results for businesses.
 
“While I once dreamed of starting a traditional business, I now see the potential in digital business and marketing,” he shares. “Looking back, choosing eduCLaaS was one of the best decisions I’ve made.”
Ready for the Future
Today, Ghazy stands as a shining example of what’s possible when education meets real-world relevance. With hands-on experience, global collaboration, and a skill set built for the digital age, he’s no longer uncertain—he’s industry-ready and confident in his next steps.
 
“With the skills and experience I’ve gained, I know I’m ready to take on the challenges of the digital business world and make a meaningful impact.”

From Confusion to Career Clarity

From Confusion to Career Clarity: Shivangi Priya’s Leap into the Future with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

When Shivangi Priya finished high school in India, she didn’t feel triumphant. She felt lost.
 
Despite being a strong student with top marks in science subjects like biology, chemistry, and math, the next step wasn’t clear. College? Sure. But which one? And for what course? And more importantly—would it actually prepare her for the real world?
 
“I was standing at a crossroads with no signposts,” Shivangi says. “Everyone expects you to have it figured out at 18. I didn’t. And that scared me.”
 
This is the story of how one moment of digital curiosity—and a single decision—changed everything. It’s a story about taking control, breaking the mold, and choosing a path that leads not just to a degree, but to a future.
 
And if you’re standing at your own crossroads right now, it might just be the signpost you’re looking for.
The Pressure Cooker of Traditional Paths
In India, academic success is often equated with future stability. Parents, relatives, teachers—everyone has a plan for you. For Shivangi, the plan was vague, but the pressure was sharp.
 
“There’s a lot of expectation to take the safe route—get a traditional degree, follow the crowd, hope for the best. But I couldn’t stop thinking: What if that’s not enough anymore?”
 
She had seen it happen around her. Friends and older peers investing three to four years into degrees, only to emerge into a job market that didn’t seem to care. Companies laying off even the most qualified. Students graduating without knowing how to apply their knowledge in the real world.
 
“It felt like a gamble. One that might cost me time, money, and opportunity.”
 
More than anything, Shivangi didn’t want to be stuck—armed with theory but no practical experience, a certificate but no direction.
 
She needed something different. And she found it where she least expected—on Instagram.
An Ad That Lit a Spark
Scrolling through her feed one afternoon, Shivangi came across an ad that caught her eye. It was for eduCLaaS, a program offering work-integrated learning, mentorship, and a bootcamp-style curriculum for a bachelor’s degree that promised real-world experience from day one.
 
“It sounded too good to be true at first. But something about it felt right—like it understood exactly what I was looking for.”
 
Curious, she clicked. She signed up for a consultation call. And she talked it through with her dad, who supported her decision to explore a different kind of education.
 
“What convinced me was the structure,” she explains. “One year of intensive, hands-on learning, followed by job assistance and the opportunity to pay for my course through work. It felt like a smart, sustainable choice.”
 
She enrolled. And that’s when everything began to change.
Stepping Into the Unknown
The transition wasn’t easy. Shivangi had always been a quiet student—reserved, more comfortable working alone than in groups. But at eduCLaaS, things worked differently.
 
From day one, she was immersed in a global classroom. Peers from different countries. Discussions. Presentations. Collaboration. Feedback.
 
“I was forced out of my comfort zone. At first, it was scary. But it was also exciting. I was learning how to communicate, not just how to complete an assignment.”
 
She developed soft skills she never realized she needed—public speaking, active listening, teamwork. And they weren’t just academic add-ons; they were central to the learning experience.
 
Most importantly, the bootcamp wasn’t about theory—it was about doing.
 
“We weren’t memorizing textbook chapters. We were solving real-world problems. Presenting ideas. Creating strategies. It was like stepping into the professional world while still learning.”
Discovering Her Passion—and Her Power
It was during one of these hands-on projects that a mentor pulled her aside.
 
“They said, ‘You’re creative. You have a voice. Why aren’t you using it more?’ That moment stayed with me.”
 
Until then, Shivangi hadn’t thought of herself as creative. But through workshops and real marketing projects, she discovered a love for content creation—writing, designing, storytelling. Suddenly, everything clicked.
 
“I realized I could build something with my ideas. Content became my medium to connect, influence, and inspire.”
 
Her mentors became more than just instructors—they became guides, even friends. When her grandmother passed away during the program, they supported her emotionally and academically, helping her stay on track while giving her the space she needed.
 
“That kind of support—it’s rare. It made me feel seen and valued, not just as a student, but as a person.”

She had grown into a confident digital marketer with real-world experience, a growing portfolio, and a clear vision for her future.
 
“The program helped me discover who I am and what I’m capable of. I know now that I want to keep growing in content creation—but I’m also curious about analytics, branding, and even tech.”
 
She’s not stuck in a box. She’s adaptable, ambitious, and ready for whatever comes next.
 
“I don’t feel behind. I feel ready.”
What Makes eduCLaaS Different
For Shivangi, the difference wasn’t just the curriculum. It was the philosophy.
 
eduCLaaS isn’t just about skills. It’s about transformation.
  • You don’t just study—you solve.
  • You don’t just watch lectures—you collaborate.
  • You don’t just pass exams—you build projects.

This isn’t education the old way. It’s education built for today’s world.
“If you want to be prepared for the real world, this is how you do it.”
What’s Next for Shivangi?
Today, Shivangi is building her personal brand, expanding her portfolio, and exploring new opportunities in digital marketing. She’s excited about what’s next—but she’s also grounded in what she’s already built.
 
“The fear I used to feel about the future—it’s gone. Now, I see it as full of possibilities.”

Practicality Over Passion: Sheng's Journey with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

Meet Lau Zhong Sheng, a driven and curious student from Malaysia, whose path to a career in digital business wasn’t always clear—but has become a journey of growth, self-discovery, and hands-on learning through eduCLaaS.
A Humble Beginning
Growing up in an average-income family, Sheng learned early on to value education and hard work. The youngest of three siblings, he describes himself as an “average student” when it came to grades—but his true strength lay in curiosity and creativity.
 
He actively participated in extracurricular activities, which helped shape his love for collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving.
A Crossroads After High School
Like many students, Sheng faced a big question after graduation:
 
What should I study next?
 
Initially passionate about Software Engineering, his academic performance—particularly in math—narrowed his options. Faced with limited choices, Sheng made a practical decision and chose Digital Business, even though it wasn’t his first pick.
 
“I was confused at the time,” Sheng shared. “I didn’t know what major to choose. I just wanted to find something that would give me a clear path forward.”
Why He Chose eduCLaaS
Sheng eventually found what he was looking for in eduCLaaS, an institute offering global learning with practical experience. Three things stood out to him:
 
  1. Real work experience: A 3-year apprenticeship built into the program.
  2. Global exposure: The course is internationally accredited
  3. Practical content: The curriculum felt relevant and applicable to the real world and made him industry ready
 
This wasn’t just about studying—it was about building a career from day one.
Growing Through Hands-On Learning
Once in the program, Sheng discovered his love for Social Media Marketing. The subject stood out to him for its blend of creativity, analytics, and real-world application.
 
His biggest challenge?
 
Working on a project that required summarizing everything he had learned. At first, he misunderstood the task and submitted incomplete work. But thanks to constructive feedback from his mentor, he reworked his project and realized the importance of deep research, attention to detail, and critical thinking.
 
“I learned that you can’t just rush through things. You have to understand your audience and make sure you’re solving real problems,” Sheng explained.
From Student to Aspiring Entrepreneur
Today, Sheng sees marketing as a powerful tool—not just for businesses, but for future entrepreneurs like himself. His ultimate goal?
 
To build a business rooted in creativity and digital strategy.
 
He’s especially interested in creating content for social media and using advertising to attract customers.
 
And thanks to eduCLaaS, he now feels prepared:
 
“Before this course, I didn’t even know what market research was. Now I understand how important it is to know your audience and meet their needs.”
Sheng’s Advice to Fellow Students
Sheng has some heartfelt advice for others starting their own journeys:
 
“I think you need to expand your network, meaning you should connect with people in society and classmates. After all, society really values connections.”
 
“I think it’s better to find a job you like because work is something you’ll do for a lifetime. So, if possible, find a job you enjoy.”

Course

💬 Final Thoughts
Sheng’s journey is one that many students can relate to—uncertainty, detours, and self-doubt. But it’s also a story of resilience, personal growth, and finding the right fit.
 
With eduCLaaS, Sheng didn’t just find a course—he found a community, a purpose, and a launching pad for his future.

Nathaniel’s Journey Toward a Career-Ready Future with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

Meet Nathaniel Abadies, a bright and driven student from Davao City, Philippines, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship with a specialization in Digital Business.Nathaniel shared his inspiring journey—from his humble beginnings and deep-rooted interests to choosing a non-traditional path that’s shaping his future in real time.
A Love for Numbers and a Calling in Digital Business
Nathaniel’s fascination with numbers began early in childhood. “Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved math and business logic,” he shared. As he grew, so did his interest in the digital landscape—especially during his teenage years when technology became more accessible and captivating.
 
What truly piqued his curiosity was the potential he saw in digital business. “When I saw local campaigns promoting digital entrepreneurship, I felt hooked. I thought—this is what I want to do,” he said. That moment of clarity led him to eduCLaaS a platform that perfectly aligned with his academic goals and passion for practical, real-world experience.
Faith, Service, and Skill-Building
Beyond school and work, Nathaniel finds joy in serving his church community. Since the pandemic, he’s been part of the technical team, managing live streams, posting content, and handling social media. “It’s not just about practicing my skills—it’s about giving back,” he explained.
 
This hands-on experience outside the classroom has given him confidence and helped him sharpen the very skills he hopes to use professionally—blending service and expertise with purpose.
Breaking Away from the Traditional Path
When asked about his concerns with traditional education, Nathaniel didn’t hold back.
 
He observed a stark difference between the learning style of traditional institutions and what eduCLaaS offers. “In my local classes, we mostly learn theory—and often it’s not even applicable in the real world,” he said. “But with eduCLaaS, I learn and apply my knowledge at the same time. That’s what makes it powerful.” Learn more about eduCLaas through this video

2. Earn While You Learn:
 
“We’re not just studying—we’re working and earning too. It’s a huge help financially and professionally,” he added. For someone who didn’t grow up with a silver spoon, this aspect of eduCLaaS provides meaningful support and momentum.

Finding a Purpose in Pixels; How Krisia Turned Her Hesitations to a Career

SHARE THIS:

A Curious Mind with No Map
Not all journeys begin with a clear destination. For Krisia, the road to finding her calling was winding and uncertain—but filled with potential. A unique blend of analytical and artistic, she was the kind of student who could breeze through a Sudoku puzzle, then turn around and perfect a makeup look with equal enthusiasm. Her room? A curated collection of cute, girly keepsakes. Her mind? Always active, always questioning.
 
Growing up in a modest but stable household, Krisia learned early the importance of responsibility, hard work, and living within one’s means. Academically, she was ambitious and hopeful, often competing with herself to do better. But while her peers mapped out their futures with bold strokes—lawyer, doctor, engineer—Krisia found herself staring at a blank canvas. She wasn’t lost; she was searching for something that fit.
Lost in the Middle
Krisia’s journey through the maze of career options wasn’t without its dead ends. She looked into civil and chemical engineering but couldn’t find a spark strong enough to light her path forward. University seemed like the obvious next step, but the time, cost, and uncertainty of real-world preparedness made her hesitate.
 
The question loomed: What’s the point of a degree if it doesn’t guarantee the skills—or job—to back it up?
 
She wanted something more practical, more sustainable. Something that would allow her to learn, earn, and grow all at once. Yet, the idea of working and studying simultaneously was intimidating, especially without a clear direction. That’s when she discovered eduCLaaS.
The Breakthrough: Finding Her Place at eduCLaaS
For Krisia, eduCLaaS wasn’t just a program—it was a turning point. The work-study Bachelor’s Degree model offered the ideal balance between academic growth and financial independence. Enrolling in the software engineering track, she found herself immersed in a new world of code—HTML, CSS, JavaScript—all foreign at first, yet slowly becoming familiar.
 
The beginning wasn’t easy. The boot camp’s intensity left her feeling isolated, and teamwork didn’t come naturally. But she pushed through, driven by quiet determination, her mother’s unwavering support, and the encouragement of her mentors. Over time, each completed project became a testament to her resilience.
Code, Collaboration, and Confidence
Four months into her apprenticeship, Krisia is no longer the unsure student she once was. She’s grown into a capable developer-in-training, navigating both technical and personal growth. She’s now comfortable juggling weekend coursework with real-world work tasks, using tools like Power Apps and Power Platform with increasing skill.
 
“I can say that here in eduCLaaS, the learning doesn’t end. Because this month and the previous month, I just learned about the power apps, the power pages, all the power platforms.

I’m grateful for eduCLaaS and for their assistance. They’ve created some trainings. Our project leaders also helped us on how to integrate some things. I’m thankful for because I never felt like I’m left behind. They always taught me “What to do” or “How to do it”
 
Her proudest accomplishments include building functional websites from scratch, understanding full-stack development, and mastering the art of time management. Even soft skills—once her Achilles heel—have become strengths. She collaborates, communicates, and leads with growing confidence.
Designing the Future
Krisia has uncovered a passion for front-end design and prototyping, areas that blend her eye for aesthetics with her newfound coding prowess. With dreams of building a standout portfolio, she’s eager to dive deeper into the design side of web development—where function meets form, and logic meets creativity.
 
Her advice to anyone facing the same uncertainty she once did? Be proactive. Ask for help. Lean into discomfort. Because that’s where growth happens.
 
“My advice to the other students who want to pursue the same path is to be proactive and don’t hesitate to ask for or to reach out for help. Based on my experience because it really helped me a lot. I believe “No man is an island”.

So many students struggle in silence, so afraid to ask questions, but networking and seeking guidance can really make a huge difference.

I would also advise them to build a strong portfolio that will focus on their technical skills and lastly, prepare well for job interviews, know how to present yourself confidently and professionally.”
 
Thanks to eduCLaaS, Krisia isn’t just preparing for a job in tech—she’s building a career that aligns with who she truly is.
 
And now, with a clearer path ahead, she walks it not with hesitation, but with purpose.

Redirected with Purpose: How eduCLaaS Helped Rabbi Find the Path She Needs

SHARE THIS:

A Stitch in Time – Rabbi’s Humble Beginnings
Life rarely follows a straight line, and for Rabbi, it’s been a journey woven with persistence, family values, and quiet strength. Born into a modest household, she grew up surrounded by the comforting smells of her grandmother’s cooking and the soft hum of yarn from hours spent crocheting and cross-stitching. These weren’t just hobbies—they were early signs of creativity, patience, and a nurturing spirit.
 
“I’ve considered taking up a medical field type of study. I really wanted to be a nurse before. That’s what I really want since I was little”
 
“Because of the pandemic, my parents are both in a tight spot during those times. So, I decided not to pursue a traditional degree. I made some ways to help generate some income to help my family instead”
 
When the pandemic struck, Rabbi’s family faced serious financial strain. Her parents struggled to keep up with daily needs and the cost of schooling for their children. Though she once considered putting her education on hold to help out, her father’s unwavering support encouraged her to continue.
 
In return, she found ways to ease the load—offering online tutoring and selling homemade dishes to neighbors. These early ventures sparked something within her: the realization that she could build something of her own while still giving back to her family.
Dreams Detoured – Navigating Uncertainty
Rabbi’s heart was once set on medicine, driven by the painful memories of watching her grandparents battle cancer. But as the pandemic wore on and money grew tighter, that dream began to feel like a luxury. Medical school was long, expensive, and increasingly out of reach. She also considered the idea of entrepreneurship, having had firsthand experience helping her grandmother’s small catering business. Yet she wasn’t sure how to bridge the gap between interest and opportunity.
 
The traditional education system offered little comfort—too costly, too theoretical, and not fast enough in delivering practical skills. Rabbi needed a new path—one that made learning accessible, relevant, and financially sustainable.
Clicking Into Place – Finding eduCLaaS
One seemingly ordinary day on Facebook turned out to be a turning point. A post about eduCLaaS caught Rabbi’s attention with its tagline: earn while you learn. The concept felt tailor-made for her. It was flexible, remote-friendly, and provided a direct pathway into the professional world—all without sacrificing education.
 
“I first heard about eduCLaaS through a Facebook post. So I thought, ah, this is too good to be true. I mean, the offering was just so great. Imagine while you are studying and then in your second year, you’ll be generating income. So, I thought to myself. Why not give it a try?

It’s a big opportunity. I can study while I earn so. While I am earning money, I can pay for my own tuition fee so I can also help my parents instead of them supporting me fully. They can also just focus on supporting my brother who’s also in college as well. So eduCLaaS is such a big help.”
 
She enrolled in the Digital Business program, drawn by its practical relevance and its connection to her entrepreneurial roots. It wasn’t just about getting a degree anymore. For Rabbi, it was about acquiring skills she could use immediately—while honoring her grandmother’s legacy in a modern, digital space.
The Growth Curve – Leveling Up With Purpose
Nine months into her journey as a Marketing Associate with eduCLaaS, Rabbi has transformed in ways she never expected. The boot camp wasn’t easy—especially learning how to build websites with WordPress—but it was empowering. With steady support from her mentors, she tackled technical challenges and uncovered new strengths.
 
She found her groove in graphic design, video editing, and technical writing—skills she once doubted she’d ever master. Perhaps most impressively, she broke through her shell as an introvert. Where she once hesitated to speak up or collaborate, she now communicates with clarity and confidence, understanding the value of connection in a digital workplace.
 
“I really developed a bit on my designing skills because I’m not really into designing or video editing. I’m glad that during my apprenticeship I have enhanced those skills, especially when it comes to designing graphics, editing videos and also creating emails.

I’ve also enhanced my technical writing skills as well as during my apprenticeship here at eduCLaaS.”
 
Looking ahead, Rabbi is eager to dive deeper into marketing tools like HubSpot and gain more hands-on experience in campaign management. Her dream of starting her own business is no longer a distant hope—it’s a living plan in progress.
