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.”
