Bridging Education and Industry: CPACE Highlights Career Readiness at San Beda University
Connecting academic study with real-world industry expectations is vital for students preparing to step into the corporate environment. To support graduating business candidates in building meaningful career pathways, CPACE Philippines joined the second day of the OJT Fair & Seminar organized by the San Beda University – College of Accountancy and Business on November 6, 2026, at the Jonathan Sy Auditorium.
Engaging directly with third-year and fourth-year students, the CPACE team shared practical industry insights and discussed actionable strategies to help candidates navigate their upcoming internships and transition into full-time roles.
Guiding Students Toward Career Readiness
During the event, students explored how targeted skills development and professional credentials enhance workplace confidence. Rather than relying solely on classroom concepts, emerging professionals benefit from understanding current market demands and corporate expectations.
Key focus areas discussed with San Beda students included:
- Industry-Aligned Certifications: Understanding how credentials such as the Certified Financial Management Specialist (CFMS)®, Certified Marketing Management Specialist (CMMS)®, and Certified Operations Management Specialist (COMS)® validate specialized knowledge.
- Practical Workforce Skills: Building essential problem-solving, strategic planning, and operational capabilities valued by hiring managers.
- Continuous Professional Growth: Recognizing continuing education as an ongoing strategy for long-term career resilience.
