Focus on Empowerment: Octa Broker Helps Malaysians Jumpstart Their Careers
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 July 2025 - Last year, Octa broker teamed up with its long-time charity partner, Ideas International, to carry out STATUS 200, a coding bootcamp for anyone willing to pick up a new valuable skill set from scratch. The overwhelmingly positive feedback and inspiring success stories of STATUS 200 graduates motivated organisers to continue with this initiative. This summer, the Bootcamp 2.0 will hopefully build on last year's success, offering goal-driven individuals a unique opportunity to jumpstart their career in coding. Coding and trading: a lift to a better future As a globally regulated and trusted broker, Octa envisages trading as a universal opportunity. If used correctly, it can become a metaphorical lift to help traders improve their financial outcomes and social standing. The same goes to coding—a profession where dedication and hard work often outweigh educational background, allowing for unique opportunities for growth. In Malaysia, a study found that a notable 48.4% adopt a fatalistic view regarding wealth and success. To turn this trend, Octa broker strives to provide new drivers of success for wide audiences via e-brokerage services—and now via coding as well. In 2024, Octa broker and Ideas International's STATUS 200 bootcamp showed that with targeted support, hard work can bring tangible results in several months. Shortly after graduation, several bootcamp participants made their first serious steps in the coding industry: • several students engaged in paid, commissioned web development projects on a freelance basis after completing Stage 2 • three students were offered internships in the field • one student with no prior teaching experience became a coding teacher • one student applied for a computer science scholarship in Australia. Throughout its 14 years in the financial markets, Octa broker has emphasised the importance of continuous learning for trading success. It is there that coding and trading seem to have a lot in common. By incrementally improving their skillset, analysing their mistakes, and realistically approaching their short-term and long-term goals, both new traders and aspiring coders can significantly improve their financial and social outcomes and unlock their potential. As skill-based pursuits popular in the modern globalised and digitalised world, both trading and coding present a valuable opportunity to step up in life regardless of social and educational background. To empower traders, Octa provides them with a seamless trading environment—a comprehensive array of tools that complement each other, enabling continuous improvement and better results. Octa's Bootcamp 2.0 Octa and Ideas International's free coding bootcamp 2025 will bring together young Malaysian men and women who are passionate about coding but have never had the chance to launch their careers in the field. Octa's long-standing charity partner, Ideas International, is a holistic school that empowers students to become contributing citizens who can succeed in an ever-changing world. Among other projects, the school carries out joint initiatives with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. In their joint educational charity projects, Octa and Ideas International aim to unlock human potential in the next generation through technology, human, and life skills.

Not Just Travel launches 'game-changing' bootcamp
NJT's +720 home-based travel consultants to benefit from expert-led, 8-week Not Just Travel's online training programme designed to deliver consistent customer growth. Leading homeworking travel agency Not Just Travel has unveiled an innovative new online training initiative to support its network of over 720 travel consultants in tackling the industry's most pressing challenge: consistently finding the right customers. The Finding Customers Bootcamp is an 8-week programme launching on Thursday 12 June. It aims to equip Not Just Travel consultants with a simple step-by-step system to attract, convert and retain high-quality clients – those who value their expertise, book repeatedly, and refer friends, rather than simply shop around based on price. Steve Witt, co-founder of Not Just Travel, says: 'We have an industry leading team of travel and marketing experts in our HQ and so we're utilising that valuable talent. The Bootcamp has been developed in response to a widespread issue across the travel trade: while passion for travel runs deep, many consultants admit they didn't enter the industry to become marketers — and often feel lost, inconsistent or overwhelmed when it comes to lead generation. 'This game-changing Bootcamp addresses that head-on. It's about replacing random tactics and second-guessing with one clear, consistent strategy. We're giving our consultants a proven system they can trust, backed by hands-on support, live coaching and ready-to-use tools. This is about building real momentum — not just for now, but for the long-term.' The Core Bootcamp, runs for eight weeks and will give consultants a solid marketing foundation, teaching them how to build a sustainable pipeline of customers, create lead-generating content quickly and regularly secure both repeat and referral customers. Most importantly, it helps consultants turn casual social media followers into loyal, paying customers. Following the 8-week core programme there are six additional bonus strategy modules offering more advanced tactics for accelerating business growth including networking, Facebook Groups and PR Strategies. Each week's training is supported with practical resources including scripts, templates, and bite-size video content to reinforce learning. Optional drop-in sessions will also be available for extra support and live feedback. Steve Witt concludes: 'Not Just Travel has long been regarded as a disruptor in the travel franchise market, as we place strong emphasis on ongoing training and mentorship. This Bootcamp is set to further that reputation, providing both new and experienced consultants with the confidence and clarity to grow sustainable travel businesses.'
