KIDAPAWAN CITY (MindaNews/14 Nov) -- College graduates from conflict areas in Mindanao can apply for a job internship program with major corporations in Metro Manila, according to the Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM), a program funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID). Interns will be provided orientation and training, round-trip travel arrangements between their home base in Mindanao and their internship location in Metro Manila, a monthly living allowance, and medical insurance for the duration of the internship.
The internship, according to a statement issued by GEM, is under one of their projects, the Productive Internships in Dynamic Enterprises (PRIDE).
Under PRIDE, qualified graduates from traditionally-underserved communities in Mindanao, including the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, can apply for internships in major corporations that have established PRIDE partnerships with the GEM Program.
The graduates can avail of technical or management internships from these corporations, including KFC Philippines, InterPhil Laboratories, and Globe Telecommunications.
“The internships provide graduates with an opportunity to build up their résumés and increase their knowledge and skills relative to the expectations and human resource needs of the corporate world. PRIDE is also aimed at increasing awareness, on the part of participating companies, of the skilled pool of potential employees available in Mindanao,” said the GEM.
The applicants, the GEM said, must be graduates of any of the following disciplines: hotel and restaurant management, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, information technology, computer science, architecture, pharmacy, or accounting.
