Meet KlikMe: An EdTech Social Enterprise Championing Second Chances
KlikMe stands as an innovative educational technology social enterprise with a profound mission: to provide struggling Filipinos with free, unparalleled access to life-changing courses, valuable mentorships, and crucial connections to successful Filipino-Americans eager to support their journeys. A cornerstone of KlikMe’s incredible work is guiding beneficiaries—often resilient out-of-school children, youth, and adults (OSCYAs) embracing a second chance—to successfully pass the Department of Education’s Alternative Learning System (ALS) exam. Earning their High School diploma through ALS opens vital new pathways for these individuals across the Philippines, empowering them to pursue higher education, vocational training, and ultimately, a brighter future.
The Challenge: Taking Learners from an ALS Diploma to a Sustainable Livelihood
While KlikMe celebrated the inspiring success of numerous beneficiaries earning their ALS High School diplomas, a critical next-step challenge emerged. Many of these determined individuals, despite their new qualifications, faced financial barriers preventing immediate enrollment in college or extensive vocational programs. KlikMe identified an urgent and vital need: to equip these ALS achievers with practical, in-demand skills that could quickly translate into tangible earning potential. They sought a training partner capable of delivering impactful, accessible, and highly relevant learning experiences tailored to this unique and diverse group of aspiring Filipinos, enabling them to either grow their own micro-enterprises or secure new employment opportunities.
Our Solution:
Crafting an Actionable 12-Session Online Course for Real-World Skills
We are deeply honored to collaborate with KlikMe to address this pivotal need. Recognizing the immense potential of KlikMe’s beneficiaries, we designed and delivered a comprehensive, 12-session synchronous online course: “Digital Marketing: Kickstarting your Promising Career in Digital Marketing.” This program was meticulously crafted with the following in mind:
Accessible & Engaging Delivery
Conducted entirely online to reach participants from every corner of the Philippines, the course fostered a joyful, interactive, and supportive learning environment where everyone felt empowered to participate.
Practical & Action-Oriented Curriculum
The curriculum (covering key areas such as social media marketing, content creation fundamentals, SEO basics, and email marketing essentials) was laser-focused on providing skills that could be immediately applied to real-world scenarios.
Empowering Diverse Learners
The course enthusiastically welcomed over 50 participants from an incredible variety of backgrounds – from determined micro-entrepreneurs in rural communities marketing local delicacies, to inspiring artisans with disabilities crafting traditional Barongs and coats. The content was designed to be adaptable and valuable for those looking to grow their own ventures and those aiming for new employment.
Career & Livelihood Focused
Beyond just teaching skills, the course aimed to provide a clear understanding of how digital marketing could unlock new career pathways, whether locally within their communities or through the expanding world of remote work opportunities.
