Choose your path
Choose Your Path. Go All In.
By Year 3, VIIV students have different strengths, different interests and different goals — so the program stops being one-size-fits-all. You'll choose the path that fits you and spend the year going deep, with structured mentorship and an incubation environment behind you.
Choosing a path in Year 3 doesn't mean the other doors close. Many VIIV students carry pieces of all three into life after graduation — a founder with a personal brand, a creator who freelances, a working professional who keeps building side projects.

8+ Years of Corporate Hiring & Talent Acquisition Experience
Hear from our Head of Placements
Having spent 8+ years in corporate hiring and talent acquisition, I have interviewed, evaluated, and worked with professionals across different roles and organisations. One thing is clear — employers hire for capability, not credentials alone.
The strongest candidates are those who can demonstrate what they know through projects, internships, problem-solving ability, communication, initiative, and measurable work.
This is the career advantage we want every VIIV student to develop.
From the early stages of the program, students begin creating a professional portfolio and proof of work that reflects their abilities. They gain exposure to internships, startup environments, industry mentors, hiring professionals, career pathways, interview preparation, and opportunities across our growing network.
Our focus is not limited to securing a student's first job after graduation. We want them to develop the career confidence, professional network, and practical experience required to navigate opportunities throughout their working lives.
Whether they pursue high-growth startups, Founder's Office roles, sales, growth, product, operations, AI-led roles, creator careers, or entrepreneurship, our placement ecosystem will help them identify and pursue the right path.
At VIIV, career support continues beyond graduation through our mentor and industry network.
Your first opportunity is only the beginning.
