TIP, JobStreet.com partner anew for student engineering congress

The Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP) and JobStreet.com Philippines once again renewed their partnership in an event aimed at enabling graduating Filipino engineering students to explore different career opportunities and improve their employment potentials in various industries.

The 2nd Philippine Student Engineering Congress was held last March 10 at TIP Quezon City.

Bannering the theme “Better Engineers for a Better Philippines,” the congress gathered more than 1,000 engineering students from some of the top educational institutions in the country to inspire them to be more globally competitive and provide them with potential career opportunities.

“With the first Engineering Congress, we started our delegates on the road to being global engineers. This year, TIP and Jobstreet.com Philippines hope to make our future engineering professionals more empowered, more technologically engaged, and more socially responsible, so they can be better nation builders,” Elizabeth QuirinoLahoz, TIP president said.

During the one- day congress, leading engineering experts and motivational speakers discussed job market insights and trends for young Filipino engineers, the importance of being a licensed engineer, the rise of technopreneurship in the country, how to become an employer’s choice, and finding the motivation to persevere in an ever- changing, challenge-ridden job-hunting landscape.

Alongside the congress, a career exhibit enabled delegates to directly engage with representatives of more than 25 top companies from various industries who employ young Filipino engineers.

These include Coca- Cola, FEMSA Philippines Inc., Teradyne Phils. Ltd., ConcepcionCarrier Air Conditioning Co., Personal Collection Direct Selling Inc., Schneider Electric Logistics Asia Pte. Ltd. – Philippines, TaskUs, and National Grid Corp. of the Philippines, among others.
