CAREER READINESS + DEMO DAY
The Transition from Student to Professional
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.
