Who we're looking for

1. Commitment

Are you willing to invest in building your skills and personality and ready to put on the hard work? Our five-weeks intensive training is a full-time commitment with 4-8 hours of learning session per day.

Virtualahan supports your goal to become a better person and upskill what you can do even as a PWD. Virtualahan helped me to be confident and ace all my interviews and it made me create an impressive resume and portfolio that helped me land my dream job. 💖I also never expected to have a lead role but being here made me believe that I can do these things. I also had unforgettable classmates that I'd forever cherish in my life. Being unemployed really takes a toll on our mental health and Virtualahan made our search for a job worthwhile and productive.

Virtualahan training is Legit and it's overwhelmingly fun! The learning is full and handy it's a worthy time to spend with. The 2-month Training and Employment support is a one-of-a-kind type of care for those persons with disabilities, single parents, and unemployed youth in the Philippines. Their Mission and Vision must be shared to the whole archipelago of the Philippines!

Virtualahan is a community of HOPE. They give the opportunity to everyone no matter what or where they came from either PWD, out-of-the-school-youth, senior citizens, and more. I highly recommend them to all aspiring VA's or any one who wants to upgrade their skills
