Kodego, UXPH tie up for breakthrough user-experience design curriculum

EDUCATION technology (edutech) company Kodego of Globe’s 917Ventures and User Experience Philippines (UXPH) design community have teamed up for a first-of-its-kind UX design curriculum to equip students with essential skills to succeed in the industry.

With the proprietary UX curriculum, students can learn fundamentals of user-experience design through Kodego’s short-term, fully online tech boot camps. The course is open to undergraduates, college graduates, and even career shifters for zero upfront fees.

“Kodego’s core mission has always been to make Filipino lives better by democratizing education and providing rewarding employment opportunities,” said Fam Alonto of 917Ventures. “We believe that our partnership with UXPH brings us one step closer to our goal of making quality education more accessible to Filipinos.”

Kodego bridges the gap between job seekers and the global demand for tech talent. Aspiring information-technology professionals can get hired in as fast as 12 weeks after completing Kodego’s intensive 12- or 16-week training on UX Design, Full Stack Web Development, or Mobile App Development.

Meanwhile, UXPH leads collaborative technology and design-driven initiatives through events, meetings, and programs while serving as a hub for sharing information and resources. It has over 4,000 local and international members.

“As the largest nonprofit community for UX professionals, students and enthusiasts, UXPH wants to make this vision a reality with the right partner [in] Kodego,” shared Jordan Aiko Deja of UXPH. “We have developed a curriculum combining experiences and insights from corporate and startup industries and academia. We believe that this curriculum will help nurture the next generation of design-driven professionals who will all work together for a better country.”

In Kodego’s UX Design course, students are introduced to the basics of UX and the human-centered design process. They also undergo the core modules which include topics like visual design, prototyping and evaluation.

At the end of the course students can already produce a complete design product and an extensive personal portfolio. They will also have the capacity to take on leadership roles.

“UXPH and Kodego share the vision of making UX education as accessible as possible toward a design-mature society,” said Ely Apao, UXPH founder. “We look forward to seeing more competent professionals who have been trained with the right mindset and equipped with the needed skills to build the next generation of experiences and digital products.”

“At Kodego, we strive to make an impact in the tech and education sectors and redefine the ways Filipinos can achieve professional success,” said Cristina Gervasio of the edtech firm. “With our collaboration with UXPH, we can amplify our capacity to uplift lives with in-demand education and produce a new breed of tech and design-empowered Filipinos.”

Aside from tech courses, Kodego provides career assistance to its graduates by connecting them with over 150 company-partners in various industries, including Asticom, Accenture and Xurpas. Learn more about Kodego’s boot camps by visiting
