Our courses are shaped by real roles, employer expectations, workplace tools, and the changing skills needed across the global and offshore talent market.
Because potential is everywhere. We’re here to move it forward.
Built by Wave Learning Studio
The studio behind the platform.
Next Wave Learning is created and developed by Wave Learning Studio, a learning design studio that builds practical workplace learning for organizations and their people.
We bring the same thinking behind professional learning design — learning strategy, instructional design, assessment, technology, and real-world practice — to career learning built for Filipino talent.
Professional learning design. Made accessible. Built for what comes next.
Our founder
Talent is everywhere. Access isn’t.
Our founder, Mari Jo Acabal, started her career as a local teacher in the Philippines. After upskilling and reinventing her career three times, she went on to build a career as a global learning designer and consultant.
Her journey shaped the belief behind Next Wave: Filipino talent has never been the problem. Access to the right skills and opportunities can be.
“Filipinos are undeniably talented, and we are the backbone of many organizations. I want learning to give people a real shot at employability — the practical skills, confidence, and opportunity to take their careers further.”
