On March 15, 2026, IT Academy STEP Cambodia proudly celebrated another milestone as students from the Software Development and Computer Graphics & Design programs graduated at our Olympic branch in Phnom Penh.

The event brought together students, families, friends, and teachers in a meaningful celebration of growth, creativity, and achievement. It was more than just a graduation; it was a reflection of how far these students have come in just 2.5 years.

 

A Journey from Beginner to Industry-Ready

Throughout the ceremony, we revisited the students’ journey, from their first day stepping into IT, to building real-world projects that demonstrate their skills and confidence.

Students from the Software Development program showcased applications and systems they developed, while the Computer Graphics & Design group presented creative works ranging from branding to digital design projects. Each project reflected not only technical ability but also problem-solving and creativity.

What stood out the most was how much they were able to achieve in such a short time.

Graduates Already Entering the Workforce

One of the strongest highlights of this graduation is that most of the graduates are already employed, stepping directly into the tech and creative industries in Cambodia.

This outcome reflects STEP’s focus on practical, career-oriented education, equipping students with skills that are truly in demand in today’s digital economy.

 

Preparing for the Future of Technology

During the event, our Managing Director, Mrs. Natalja Rodionova, shared insights into the rapidly evolving IT landscape and encouraged graduates to stay adaptable, continue learning, and embrace new technologies.

As industries continue to shift toward digital transformation, the demand for skilled professionals in software development and design continues to grow, not only in Cambodia but globally.

A Proud Moment for the STEP Community

Seeing students present their final projects with confidence and professionalism was a proud moment for everyone involved. It represents the dedication of both the students and the educators who guided them throughout the program.

With over 90% of graduates recommending STEP Cambodia as the best place to study IT, this graduation stands as a strong testament to the quality of education and student experience.

 

Looking Ahead

As these graduates take their next steps into the professional world, they carry with them not just technical skills, but also the mindset to grow, adapt, and succeed in a fast-changing industry.

IT Academy STEP Cambodia remains committed to shaping the next generation of IT and creative professionals in Cambodia, ready for real careers, not just classrooms.

97% of STEP Cambodia graduates with confirmed status are working. See employers, salaries and real career stories from the 2025–2026 cohorts.

Choosing where to study is a major decision. Most schools explain what students will learn. Far fewer publish what happens after graduation: whether graduates find work, where they are employed, and how their careers develop. At IT Academy STEP Cambodia, we follow up with graduates after they complete their programs. Our 2025–2026 graduate employment data covers students from the 2.5-year Software Development and Computer Graphics & Design Professional Programs. The results show strong employment across both fields, and real career progression from junior roles and freelance projects to specialist and management positions.   97% of graduates are working, and many are employed even before graduation  We asked our graduates in 2025 and 2026 if they are employed, and 97% confirmed that they are working in companies, government institutions or as independent professionals. Some others continue their studies in other educational institutions and cannot yet start working full
