With this new partnership, taking further studies to amplify learning and career growth just become more accessible and affordable to Filipino learners—regardless of educational and professional background. Gelli Cahulogan, a Benilde SPaCE graduate of Diploma in Strategic Marketing Management and Diploma in Strategic Digital Marketing, shares how her programs helped her as a Cluster Marketing Communications Manager.
“I entered SPaCE with the intention of just getting one course, and that's it! But because of the fun learning environment, experienced lecturers, and classmates from all walks of life, I just saw myself enrolling from one course to another. I am proud to say that I am able to apply whatever I learned in SPaCE to my job today as the Cluster Marketing Communications Manager of not just one, but three Marriott properties in the Philippines.”
