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.

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.

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.

One pivotal moment in Jhet’s journey came during the Programming Foundations module, which introduced him to Java. As someone with zero coding experience, the early days were filled with frustration. But what followed was a moment of transformation.

It wasn’t just about writing a successful piece of code. That victory unlocked a sense of capability and belonging in the tech world. For Jhet, coding transformed from intimidating to invigorating.

One of the key differences between traditional universities and the eduCLaaS model is the emphasis on industry relevance. By the end of the boot camp, Jed had already begun working on real industry projects provided by eduCLaaS, applying what he learned in real-world scenarios. Afterward, he transitioned into an apprentice that solidified his transformation from student to budding professional.

One person stood out during this phase—his mentor, Sir Hassan Mehdi Hassan, who helped Jed build not just technical expertise but also crucial soft skills.

Kirk’s first year involved an intensive boot camp covering 10+ modules over just as many months. It wasn’t easy.

This direct support was a stark contrast to the distant, generalized approach often seen in traditional universities. “That’s a big difference between this and my friends’ schools. I can ask questions any time. I have access to mentors 24/7.”

Kirk found the pace challenging but invigorating. Each module brought a new skillset, from SEO basics to business strategy. “You don’t dig deep for too long before you move on. It keeps you moving, keeps you learning.”

One of the biggest advantages of eduCLaaS’ flexible learning model was its online structure, which allowed Marinyl to support her children’s education, helping with homework and school activities at night, monitor her father’s health during the day, and work remotely without long commutes.

Despite nearly quitting due to financial strain, Marinyl persisted—driven by her family’s support and her own determination to succeed.

After completing his boot camp, Kay began his apprenticeship as a Technology Associate, working with Microsoft Power Apps, Power Automate, and Copilot.

Compared to his school days, Kay noticed a significant improvement in his collaboration and communication skills. Though he describes himself as an introvert, working in a team environment helped him open up.
