Hi Product Hunt! I’m Roman Kumar Vyas, one of Refocus’s founders. What comes to mind when you hear the words “robots” and “robotization”? Is it some utopia where robots have seized the world or a bright future in which robots and humans coexist peacefully? Whatever it is, we must admit that robots are here, and they will stay with us — and it is up to us to determine how we will coexist. It’s predicted that 137 million people in Southeast Asia will lose their jobs due to automation in the next 20 years. This period of time will fly by in a wink, so we need to take action now. That’s where Refocus comes in. 👨‍💻Refocus is a cutting-edge retraining platform We give people a unique opportunity to master from scratch the new professions of the future and help them land their first jobs in IT. Data Analytics and Web Development are the unique courses we already teach here at Refocus. 👔Refocus focuses on lucrative jobs Professions like creative specialist, cybersecurity engineer, videogame designer, QA engineer, and project manager are among the ones that are coming in the near future. These are the professions that the industry will be focused on in the next few decades. 🫂Refocus teaches human skills Empathy, communication, decision-making, ethical awareness – we are also here to teach people the skills they need to have to stay competitive in the market. 👩🏻‍🔬Refocus gathers top practicing experts to teach Over 100 hours of theory and practice through clear and beginner-friendly online classes with detailed feedback from mentors. While taking the course, our students work on real cases and create their portfolios. 🗓️ Refocus offers flexible schedules Students spend only 5-10 hours a week studying, allowing them to combine it with their current jobs. They are also able to learn anywhere and anytime. This flexibility and comfort while studying is crucial for students to smoothly transition from old-world jobs to careers of the future. 💵We guarantee job placement Our Career Center helps students with interviews, CVs, and portfolios and gets them set up with their first job. We built our program in such a way to create the ideal candidate that meets the market’s requirements. We consult and work with the fastest growing tech companies in the world and create our training based on their requirements. 🌏Refocus is focused on SEA We have only launched in Southeast Asia for now, but this is just the beginning of something incredibly huge. - Some of our students have already proven that nothing is impossible. Consider Mc Gee Alda Acebedo. More than 9 years of his life were spent working at call and contact centers. But only 3 months after taking our course, a US-based company hired him as a Data Analyst. He’s 41 now and is beyond happy with his new life. Or consider Joshua Cruz — a food scientist who is taking freelance projects on data analytics. He is making more than he used to at his previous job and wants to switch entirely to data analytics now. We launched a year ago and have already grown our revenue from zero to $5 million. This only proves that we are going in the right direction. The most important thing to us is to create a socially significant product. We want to make human workers great again. We want to help them “refocus.” Bonus event: learn how to launch and expand in Southeast Asia To commemorate our launch, we're hosting a webinar today where we'll share all of our insights on and experiences in launching a startup in the SEA market. Come join us here: https://clck.ru/337uwY It will be extremely helpful. If you can’t attend, don't worry: subscribe to our project, leave a comment, and we'll send you the webinar recording. And as a final word, I want to thank @chrismessina for believing in us, hunting us, and giving us amazing advice on how to make our product even better.

Working in IT for the last ten years, I feel so "native" in the industry, and still, looking for a job is a challenge for me and everyone I know. I can only imagine how hard it is for those just starting their professional journey in this field. Good job helping students learn new skills and get them through the hiring process!

@roman_kumar1 can you please mention a few techniques you use to help students deal with fears and insecurities on such a scale? I imagine you have thousands of students in the cohorts.

@bapaka Sure! We have an amazing team of community managers who conduct live sessions with their cohorts. During them, the main fears and insecurities are deteremined and disscussed. Partly, student themselves help each other to deal with them. Moreover, they can always contact community managers.

What a great project! I'm incredibly happy that it launched in Asia because their economy and people really need support. Robotization is a very serious problem especially in Southeast Asian countries which produce and supply most of the world's goods. I wish you the best of luck! And I hope that you will be able to scale your product to other countries in the region.

@diana_synkova Thank you! Yes, you're absolutely right: this problem is extremely severe in Asia. Moreover, it's worth mentioning that level of education there is not as high as in many Europian countries. So, we're there to solve both problems!
