The continuously evolving global job market poses a great number of challenges for job seekers today. Most common among them are skills mismatch, technological threats, and increasing competition. Given these modern challenges, Filipino workers need upskilling—and in turn, education institutions need to make upskilling opportunities more accessible for them.
Mapúa Malayan Digital College (MMDC), the premier digital-first college in the Philippines, recently forged strategic partnerships with industry leaders Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), international business process outsourcing (BPO) company iQor, and Bacolod’s largest BPO company PanAsiatic Solutions. These collaborations aim to empower Filipinos through financial literacy programs, and internship and upskilling opportunities. It also offers scholarship opportunities for working professionals, reinforcing MMDC’s mission to promote lifelong learning among Filipinos.
