Every journey at Oliya Academy ends not with an exam, but with a demonstration of professional maturity.
The true test of employability is not what you can memorise — it’s what you can build, communicate, and deliver.

The final phase of the program transforms students into industry-ready professionals who can join projects, clients, or agencies without transition time.


What We Teach at Oliya.tech

Career Readiness is built across all twelve weeks but becomes the main focus in the final two.
Students consolidate technical, design, and marketing skills into tangible portfolios, develop personal brands, and rehearse real corporate interactions.

Core Framework

  1. Portfolio Development

    • Compiling GitHub repositories, Figma prototypes, GA4 dashboards, and marketing reports into a professional portfolio.

    • Each student hosts their own mini-site or Behance/LinkedIn showcase.

  2. Resume & LinkedIn Optimisation

    • Writing role-specific resumes (developer, analyst, designer, marketer, or tester).

    • Implementing SEO principles for LinkedIn visibility.

  3. Mock Interviews & Assessments

    • Conducted by mentors and guest industry professionals.

    • Includes technical, HR, and behavioural rounds using real corporate question patterns.

  4. Soft-Skills Masterclass

    • Business etiquette, cultural sensitivity, negotiation, and stakeholder communication simulations.

  5. Demo-Day Preparation

    • Students prepare a ten-minute client-style presentation explaining their live project:

      • The problem solved

      • The technology stack used

      • The measurable business or social impact achieved

    • Presentations are recorded for inclusion in the student’s portfolio.

  6. Career Guidance Sessions

    • Personal mentoring on job markets, freelancing, entrepreneurship, and study-abroad pathways.

    • Exposure to certification maps: AWS, ISTQB, Scrum, IELTS, Google Skillshop.

  7. Transition to Oliya Digital Agency

    • Top performers are invited to join the Agency (Division 2) as IT professionals, continuing on live client accounts.


Summary

The Career-Readiness phase ensures that every Oliya graduate can:

  1. Demonstrate Competence – Show a working product, campaign, or design, not just theoretical knowledge.

  2. Communicate Clearly – Present in business English with confidence and structure.

  3. Collaborate Professionally – Operate inside Agile teams using global collaboration tools.

  4. Build a Personal Brand – Maintain digital portfolios that recruiters can verify instantly.

  5. Transition Smoothly – Join the workforce with zero hand-holding required.

Demo Day is not graduation; it’s a launchpad — where students prove that their skills, discipline, and communication align with global standards.
