The event began with the opening remarks from Foundever Director of Talent Acquisition-Rowel Villalobos, who was followed by a Career Planning talk from Founder Senior Learning Manager Anna Santos, who shared some insights about career pathing and how to evaluate if they are on the right track towards a fulfilling and successful career.
Mr. Tony Fernandez, one of Foundever’s managers, led an interactive discussion about work ethics and how to boost self-confidence. Ms. Maria Beatrix Domingo, the Foundever Fleet Specialist, inspires the Virlanie ILP. She is visually impaired and a 5-year employee of Foundever. The forum was followed by a question-and-answer session in which young adults were given the opportunity to raise inquiries about the topics discussed during the forum. Lastly, the representative of the Virlanie Foundation Mr. Alvin Arnecilla- Sponsorship Officer express his gratitude about the Career planning event. Followed by the awarding of the certificate and lastly, the site tour for the beneficiaries.
This partnership will strengthen Virlanie Foundation’s efforts to provide the most disadvantaged and unprivileged children, youth, and families living in the streets and poor communities with quality learning programs. By skills training, conducting local recruitment and placement, and offering employment opportunities to the beneficiaries and their families.
Nonetheless, this collaboration is a step towards restoring hope to disadvantaged children through the gift of learning and employment opportunities. By working together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those who need it the most.
