Mapúa Malayan Digital College (MMDC) and Globe Prepaid partner up for Step Up Sessions, an incredible opportunity for working students and hustlers to learn from top industry leaders through 6 free upskilling talks all hosted on the immersive GoHUSTLE digital interactive platform of the Globe Hangouts portal.
The Step Up Sessions are in line with the mission of the Step Up sa Pangarap movement which was launched by MMDC last year, giving working students enough support to earn a college degree while excelling at work and empowering them to step up in their careers. With these upskilling talks, MMDC and Globe Prepaid aim to equip participants with the right tools to achieve their dream careers and empower them to make it happen at their own time. Top industry leaders from CEOs of startups to digital marketers and content creators share their expertise and experiences on different topics such as leadership, financial literacy, and content creation.
MMDC’s very own Kirbie Lao and April Rose Punay from the Integrated Advising Team are the hosts of the Step Up Sessions.
Working student Shekinah Florentino found the learning sessions to be very empowering for her, and these inspired her to work towards her future. She said, “I found the Step Up Sessions to be very motivating, as it focused on important values and skills that will be essential for my future career. The Step Up sa Pangarap community support is also engaging, with the speakers using their experiences to connect with the audience.”
Maja Samaniego, another participant, shared that the sessions have been inspired by the speakers who spoke about their experiences. “So far, Step Up Sa Pangarap has done wonders for my confidence as a young freelancer, knowing that others have also successfully gone through what I’m experiencing now— that we all start somewhere as beginners! The community has also been invaluable in providing not only a sense of camaraderie and support, but also the resources to go forward at your own pace, in your own time.”
With more than 800 registrants for the first four sessions, the Step Up Sessions were successful in reaching a diverse audience from around the country who have the opportunity to level up in their careers and are ready to grow personally and professionally.
Are you ready to upskill and step up your career? Two more Step Up Sessions are happening on August 1 and August 15 from 7pm to 9pm.
