Outsourcing Impact Award on Education (Gold)
Eclaro Academy
Eclaro Academy, the brainchild of global staffing leader Eclaro, is a beacon of educational transformation in the Philippines. By addressing not only curriculum matters but also infrastructural and environmental challenges, the initiative demonstrates the profound difference between public and private education in the Philippines. This difference often dictates the trajectories of student futures. With Eclaro’s unique approach, the bridge between private-school-caliber education and global employment opportunities is not just envisioned but actively constructed.
Eclaro Academy is a project that takes time to develop. It represents Eclaro’s dedication to integrating education with real-world employment opportunities. This school was conceived with a dual vision: firstly, to provide unparalleled private education to every Filipino child, irrespective of socio-economic background. And secondly, to extend beyond mere education, connecting students with global resources, and assuring them a place in the world's evolving job sector.
Such an ambition is rooted in Eclaro's foundational ethos. Recognizing the stark disparities in Philippine education and its cascading impact on employment opportunities, Eclaro became the change agent. They aspired to empower Filipino youth with knowledge and the tools and skills needed to compete in a global marketplace.
Eclaro Academy’s profound impact can be glimpsed through these significant figures:

Their success story is multifaceted – not only did they purchase a home and uplift their family, but they also became a beacon of hope for the community, underscoring the potential of education as a transformative tool.
