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:
- Real work experience: A 3-year apprenticeship built into the program.
- Global exposure: The course is internationally accredited
- 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.”
