What is the cost of the Virtual Apprenticeship Program?

The VirApp is completely FREE for all Kadets who want to participate.

How does the program work and how much time is expected of me?

The VirApp runs for 5 weeks. Over that time, Kadets will be expected to deliver various outputs related to the Challenge Brief given to them by our partner companies -- our Kollabs. We expect that the VirApp will take roughly 4-5 hours a week.

What do participants get for completing the program successfully?

If Kadets are able to submit all of the required outputs successfully, they get a certificate of completion, work experience to add to their portfolios, and a chance to be considered for further opportunities with our Kollabs.

What support will I receive throughout the program?

During the program, you will have the support of two of KadaKareer’s expert Coaches, who have experience and knowledge within your Challenge’s topic area. These Coaches will be available for individual sessions through the KadaKareer platform, and will also host 1-hour weekly “Feedback Sessions” which all Kadets are invited to and encouraged to attend.

Does my time with the Virtual Apprenticeship program count towards my OJT?

As the VirApp is only a project-based program and not a full-time role, work that you do will not count towards your OJT requirements.

Is there a specific schedule that Apprentices have to follow for the VirApp program?

The program is completely flexible! You’re allowed to work on your own time and pace as long as you complete all of the challenges within 5 weeks.

What Apprentices Have to Say

“Overall, we are well-guided. Everyone was so kind and I gained new networks. The platform is intuitive, and the resources are helpful. I would love to join one again, but with data analytics. This is such a gem. Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible.”

“Through this Virtual Apprenticeship Program, I'm able to apply my learnings as an Information Systems student to real-world contexts or scenarios. The prospect of shaping the frameworks that can make a difference in Philippine innovation appeals to me, and I view this as a learning experience and the ability to contribute to something that's greater than myself. Hence, I'm extremely satisfied with the program, and would love to share it to my friends.”

What our Kollabs Have to Say

“The virtual apprenticeship was structured well in terms of timeline and outputs, even with [general] initial instructions. Outputs were of good quality.“

Nestor Precioso

“The volume you were able to turn in over a short amount of time—we [had] realistic [expectations], but you guys were able to turn around [quickly]. Now, we took on two of them and they’re able to fill the gap that we needed. It shows that even with the quick timeline, you guys were able to really establish in a very respectable manner. When we onboarded our set of interns, it took as a month of rigorous reposting, vetting, interviews, and assessments. [...] We wouldn’t have found [these provincial-based talents] without you guys.”
