AVE URGES EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS TO PRODUCE SKILLED WORKERS IN LOCAL JOB MARKETS

The Alliance of Volunteer Educators party-list organization urged colleges and universities to produce graduates fit for the growing demands for skilled workers in the local job markets so that the alarming job mismatch in the country could be addressed.

AVE party-list Rep. Eulogio “Amang” R. Magsaysay said that the higher education institutions can take an active part in addressing the job mismatch by seeing to it that their educational programs are effective in preparing students that enroll their schools who will become future job seekers.
