From Doubt to Confidence: Lisa’s Journey with eduCLaaS
SHARE THIS:
For many students, the traditional path of a four-year bachelor’s degree comes with uncertainties—high costs, long time commitments, and no guarantee of job readiness. Lisa Aulia, a 20-year-old student from Indonesia, faced these same challenges but found a better way forward through eduCLaaS.
Let’s explore her journey—her background, struggles, and how she overcame them with an alternative education model from eduCLaaS that combines learning with real-world experience.
Challenges of Traditional Education vs. The eduCLaaS Advantage
Lisa’s academic journey wasn’t straightforward. Like many students, she had concerns about pursuing a traditional degree:
- High costs – Tuition and living expenses were a financial burden.
- Time commitment – Spending four years without gaining work experience felt risky.
- Job uncertainty – Many graduates struggle to find jobs due to a lack of practical skills.
“The uncertainty of getting a job after graduation worried me since many graduates lack practical skills and end up wasting their degree on unrelated jobs.”
Initially, Lisa considered studying pharmacy, but the best universities were far from home, and her parents were hesitant due to expenses. Her mother suggested she start working directly, while her father insisted on a degree. This left her searching for a middle ground—a program that offered both education and real-world experience.
Discovering a Better Path with eduCLaaS
While dropping a friend off at university, Lisa learned about eduCLaaS’s work-study bachelos’ degree program. Three key factors convinced her to enroll:
- Faster Graduation – She could complete her studies quicker and enter the workforce sooner.
- Hands-on Experience – Real-world projects ensured she gained job-ready skills.
- Career Preparation – The curriculum was designed for industry demands, not just theory.
“The opportunity to gain real-world experience while studying was crucial. The program is designed to prepare students for actual jobs, not just provide theoretical knowledge.”
Challenges & Growth: Overcoming Obstacles
Lisa’s journey wasn’t without hurdles. The boot camp phase was intense, requiring quick adaptation and self-learning.
- Time Management – Balancing studies, projects, and personal life was tough.
- Failure & Resilience – She once failed a class but was encouraged by the eduCLaaS team to keep going.
“I had to step out of my comfort zone, but eventually, it became one of my biggest achievements in building confidence in my abilities.”
With discipline and support, she not only passed but also developed critical soft skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving—skills employers highly value.
Career & Learning Progress: Real-World Readiness
Now in the industry project phase, Lisa applies her digital marketing skills (SEO, social media, ads) in real business scenarios. Her progress has been remarkable:
- Technical Skills – Mastered performance marketing and analytics.
- Career Clarity – She now aims to specialize in digital campaign optimization.
- Job Confidence – Unlike traditional graduates, she already has work experience.
Her goal? To lead digital marketing strategies and eventually take on senior roles.
Advice for Future Students
Lisa’s journey proves that education doesn’t have to follow a rigid, outdated model. For students considering their next steps, she advises:
“If you want a program that gives you both education and real-world experience, consider alternatives like eduCLaaS. Traditional degrees are great, but practical experience is what makes a difference in the job market.”
