Voice of Today's Learners
As a fresher, if I could get one thing that would help me in my career right now, it would be an opportunity to work on real-world projects where I can apply my analytical and communication skills. Getting practical exposure to how business requirements are gathered, analyzed, and translated into solutions, along with mentorship from experienced professionals, would really help me grow and gain confidence in this field.
One thing that would really help me in my career right now is the guidance of a mentor. Having someone experienced to provide direction, give feedback on my progress, and help me navigate the early stages of my career would make a huge difference. It would boost my confidence, help me avoid common mistakes, and give me clarity on how to grow both technically and professionally. A mentor's support could bridge the gap between learning and applying knowledge effectively in real-world scenarios.
Roadmap from industry professionals or someone who guide me how to start.
It's difficult to find resources to start with. So, someone who can help me with it.
I want an opportunity to work closely with a mentor who has strong industry experience in my field. Having a mentor would not only provide valuable guidance and insights but also help me navigate challenges more efficiently, improve my technical skills, and make informed decisions about my career path. A mentor could share real-world knowledge that goes beyond textbooks. This kind of support would accelerate my growth and help me become a more competent and confident professional in the long run.

Our Story
- The Beginning
- Valoona was born out of a personal understanding of these very challenges. Our founding team (a mix of educators, hiring managers, and lifelong learners) kept encountering the same frustrating story: talented people struggling to find their footing in the professional world.
- We saw new graduates with spark and potential get passed over because their resumes didn't "show" much. We saw companies drowning in applications, yet unable to find the right candidates for entry-level roles.
- The Research
- In 2025, we decided to dig deeper. We conducted extensive research, including interviews and surveys with students, recent graduates, hiring managers, HR professionals, and career coaches.
- The insights were eye-opening. We mapped out 58 distinct challenges that people face in early career development and hiring. This confirmed what we suspected: the system was failing young professionals and their would-be employers on multiple levels.
- Building the Solution
- Rather than be overwhelmed by the scale of the problem, we were inspired. We asked ourselves, "What if we could leverage technology and community to solve this?" And so, the idea for Valoona took shape.
- Every feature of Valoona exists because we listened to someone's struggle and said, "We can fix that." Today, Valoona is driven by that same passion that sparked its creation.
Our Vision
- We'll build your future, together.
- Looking ahead, we see Valoona as a catalyst for change in the global job market. We envision a future where no student or job seeker falls through the cracks due to lack of experience or guidance.
- By continuously closing skill gaps and fostering mentorship, we aim to raise a generation of professionals who are more competent, confident, and adaptable to the fast-changing world of work.
