Phase 1: Foundation & Competency Discovery (Months 1-3)
This foundational phase establishes the launchpad for career transformation through AI-driven personalization and baseline skill development. Participants engage with HEPro's AI-powered Talent Mapper for comprehensive competency identification, receiving a personalized career development roadmap aligned with their strengths and market opportunities.
The phase integrates 4 foundation courses covering digital skills, communication excellence, soft skills, and professional tools orientation, combined with 4 progressive micro-projects that build foundational competencies. Participants complete baseline assessments using HEPro's multi-domain assessment framework
Phase 2: Skill Development & Technical Specialization (Months 4-12)
The second phase represents the core skill acquisition and specialization phase, where participants dive deeply into their chosen career track. HEPro's 7 distinct career paths structure this phase: Data Science & Analytics, Technology/Software Engineering, HR Management, Digital Marketing, Project Management, Finance & Accounts, and Digital Journalism
Each track encompasses 8-10 domain-specific courses progressing from foundational to advanced levels, complemented by 6 progressive hands-on projects of increasing complexity. The curriculum integrates tool and framework mastery—participants gain proficiency in career-path-specific tools
Phase 3: Portfolio Building & Industry Integration (Months 13-20)
This portfolio construction phase transforms technical skills into market-ready, employer-visible assets while building professional credibility through industry exposure.

The phase incorporates advanced business model applications—participants apply system thinking, design sprints, process mining, and OKR development to real-world problems, bridging technical skills with strategic business thinking. Professional portfolio development becomes central: participants optimize resumes, enhance LinkedIn profiles, establish GitHub/portfolio websites, create case study documentation, and produce video walkthroughs of major projects
