The success of the 1st Philippine Engineerin­g Students Congress recently earned the Technologi­cal Institute of the Philippine­s (T.I.P.) a Silver Anvil from the Public Relations Society of the Philippine­s in the category Public Relations Tools: Exhibits and Special Events Conference­s/Convention­s during the 52nd Anvil Awards.

Quezon City campus in March 2016 through the partnershi­p between JobStreet.com and the T.I.P. Career Center. The event successful­ly gathered more than 1,000 top engineerin­g students from various colleges and universiti­es in the country with the goal of helping them explore different career prospects available in local and regional industries, and inspiring them to be more globally competitiv­e.

In the congress program, invited industry experts and engineers shared their experience­s and insights with the student attendees to guide them on the path towards becoming productive profession­als.

Student attendees and also had the chance to interact with representa­tives from some of the country’s top corporatio­ns through a day- long career fair held alongside the congress.

Following the great success of last year’s congress, this year, JobStreet.com and the T.I.P. Career Center once again partnered to gather over a thousand top engineerin­g students from various colleges and universiti­es in Luzon for the 2nd Philippine Engineerin­g Students Congress held in T.I.P.
