In a move that combines innovation with community engagement, Apirits has launched the WBC College, a vibrant educational initiative located in Shibuya. This program aims to foster deeper understanding and practical applications of Human-Centered Design (HCD) and User Experience (UX) principles among professionals. Hosted at Apirits’ own café space, the college is designed to be a gathering place for knowledge sharing, networking, and skill enhancement.

About WBC College

WBC College, short for WebBootCamp College, is part of Apirits' effort to cultivate a culture of learning and collaboration. This initiative serves as an extracurricular activity that highlights best practices from the world of professional web development and design. The college emphasizes not just theoretical understanding but practical experiences that can be applied in real-world scenarios.

WBC College organizes seminars tailored to individuals ranging from budding designers and engineers to seasoned project managers and HR professionals looking to integrate UX principles into their organizations. It aims to provide participants with valuable insights and hands-on experience to strengthen their approach to design and collaborative work.
