Press Release
July 18, 2016
MAKATI CITY –
Education technology startup Edukasyon.ph and the Philippine Business
for Education has signed a Memorandum of Agreement to seal its joint
commitment to provide industry-based information on careers for high
school students through the "Career Conversations" section of the
website www.edukasyon.ph.
“We are excited with this
partnership with the Philippine Business for Education that will help
in delivering job market and education information needed to make
informed career and education decisions. Through these joint efforts
with industry associations, we believe that we are able to guide
students in what industries expect from them as jobseekers and what
they need to know to prepare for these jobs,” said Linartes M. Viloria,
CEO, Edukasyon.ph.
Edukasyon.ph is a website (www.edukasyon.ph)
that empowers students by giving them choice, advice and convenience
in discovering, selecting and applying to the school that will best
equip them for their dream career. The Philippine Business for
Education maintains FutureYou, a free online career exploration tool
that provides you information needed to be able to get the right
opportunity where a student’s passions, skills, and interests can be
turned into a great job and a great future. The two sites have agreed
to combine its online efforts through Edukasyon.ph’s Career
Conversations.
“Deciding on what you want
to be when you grow up is a difficult decision a high school student
has to make. Without the right industry information on careers and the
world of work, students will find themselves confused on the education
they need to have to prepare for their dream careers. Through these
collaborative efforts with the Philippine Business for Education we
can deliver to students job information that they can understand and
appreciate for better career decision making,” said Henry Motte-Muñoz,
Founder, Edukasyon.ph.
Under the partnership
students can check out Edukasyon’s Career Conversations portal (http://edukasyon.ph/en/career_conversations) where they can find a
variety of careers they can choose and read about. This section
includes hard-to-fill and most popular jobs, job descriptions,
entry-level salaries for these jobs and the requisite education for
these jobs.
“It is our dream that every
Filipino student gets a quality and relevant education that leads to a
career. This partnership brings us closer to realizing that dream and
ensuring that young people get better chances to employment,” said
Henry Motte-Muñoz, Founder, Edukasyon.ph.
At the joint site, students
can discover the recommended senior high tracks, college courses, and
technical vocational education for these selected careers. To give
them first hand information on preparations for their career journey
in these jobs, students can watch Career Conversation videos of
professionals in different industries.
