Designed with additional support of helping female learners break into a male-dominated industry, Immersive+ (Women) is a train-and-place targeted at ladies interested to enter the Digital Marketing industry. It includes a 10-week training followed by a 3-month work attachment. We are running our next intake in late-June. Profiles from the program look like those who are long-term absent from school, who are under the ministry’s rehabilitation and protection group and come from lower income families, with participants aged 16-30 years old.

Here’s a story of Fatin, one of our learners from our recent batch who graduated from a similar program we ran last year.

We are fundraising to provide training stipends for our ladies as they attend the 10-week digital marketing training. With most coming from lower income family, the ladies would have to support themselves financially independently and sometimes even provide financial support to their family. However, due to the nature of the full-time training, the ladies would have to forgo their jobs to join the program. The stipend is intended to provide them with a small allowance where they give up their job to upskill.

The stipend will be divided into training and transport stipend.

Students will receive up to $20 transport allowance per week should they be present for training in-person at least 3 days of the week and provide a receipt of the top-up. Stipend will be disbursed every 2 weeks of up to $100. Should the student be Present (10:10am and before), she will receive the full amount for the day; should the student be Late (10:11am – 10:30am), she will only receive 50% of the amount for the day; students who come after 10:30am will not receive any amount for the day.

By providing support to our ladies, they will be able to further their studies and pursue their dreams in the digital industry. Thank you for your support!
