Tech freelancing platform <a style="color: #000080" href="http://raket.ph">Raket.ph Inc</a> has launched the first freelancing school in the Philippines in partnership with <a style="color: #000080" href="http://www.theoneschool.org/">The One School</a> – a government accredited entrepreneurial college based in Makati City.
Dubbed &#8220;RaketOne&#8221;, the project is going to be launched in the first week of August with a series of workshops. The term Raket is a slang word for &#8220;sideline&#8221; in the Philippines.
&#8220;RaketOne is the Philippines’ first ever Raketeer school, a project that aims to improve a Raketeer’s skills at the same time give an avenue for newbies who want to venture into freelancing,&#8221; said Raket.ph founder and CEO Lyle Jover.

He said RaketOne caters to a wide variety of courses that allows students to ramp up their skills and compete better in the market.
Among the series of workshops lined up are: photography, stocks, social media management &amp; marketing, voice acting, marketing, writing, graphic design, mobile development, events management, including creating a business plan.
&#8220;Each workshop will have a total of six hours in two to three-hour sessions every weekend,&#8221; Jover said. &#8220;Later on there will be certifications and we are also focused on growing the courses to have 102s and 103s eventually.&#8221;
Aside from workshops, the startup founder added there will be some shadowing and immersion sessions, like in event management, where students will have a real-life hands-on experience by linking them up with professionals.
&#8220;RaketOne is clearly a joint venture established to cater the provision of a learning environment for Raketeers to gain more from what they already know in their chosen crafts or professions, and to develop the passion of continual learning,&#8221; Jover said.
