Heard From the
People Who Did It

"I came in as a marketing student with zero AI experience. I left with a live automation tool deployed to a real client. Exoasia doesn't let you sit on the sidelines."
Maria Santos
BS Marketing · Batch 2024 · Track: AI Strategy
"The EBELI methodology changed how I think about building. By week 6 I was already co-facilitating a workshop for a startup client. Nothing in my coursework prepared me for this — in the best way."
Jake Reyes
BS Computer Science · Batch 2024 · Track: Venture Building
"I helped produce SONAI 2026 from logistics to on-ground ops. Seeing hundreds of leaders engage with AI policy content I helped shape — that's not something you get from a regular OJT."
Ana Villanueva
BS Communication · Batch 2025 · Track: Events & Experiences

We work with leading Philippine universities to offer accredited OJT placement and co-curricular recognition.
