The internet economy in the Philippines is anticipated to increase by 30% yearly by 2025, reaching USD28 billion. It will be critical to develop young, tech-savvy staff in order to maintain such rapid growth. Indeed, the DTI has identified one of the top priorities for the 2022 Philippine E-commerce Roadmap as upskilling and reskilling Filipino talent. Shopee, the top e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, is launching its first ever Career Jumpstart Series, a curation of virtual open houses meant to equip emerging tech leaders with career-building skills, in April 2022, as a means of supporting the digital economy development.
The Shopee Career Jumpstart Series seeks to equip tomorrow's leaders with the abilities they'll need to succeed in the tech industry's workplace. The open house learning series will be divided into three sessions on April 5, 7, and 9. This event is open to final-year and graduating students, as well as young professionals with fewer than two years of work experience.
Each session will take place virtually and will cover topics such as effective resume writing, critical interview skills, and mastering case interviews. This is an ideal opportunity for students and aspiring professionals to hone their abilities before entering a tech company.
Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said “We are committed to developing young talent - from the initial interview stage, all the way up to securing a job and furthering one’s career. Through the Shopee Career Jumpstart Series, we believe that we can not only help young talent fulfill their potential, but also help contribute to the Philippines’ growing digital economy. We look forward to creating even more opportunities to hone the skills of young Filipinos and support local digital growth.”
Apart from the Career Jumpstart Series, Shopee also offers other programs and initiatives centered on polishing the skills of young talent. Shopee’s Global Leaders Program, for example, is a 2-year graduate program consisting of four 6-month local and overseas rotations that is open to final-year students or young professionals with up to two years of working experience. On the other hand, the Shopee Apprentice Program is an internship program designed to expose interns to the e-commerce and digital finance industry and allow them to participate in the different end-to-end processes of large-scale projects and initiatives.
Registration for the Career Jumpstart Series will be open to all interested individuals. Registrants are not required to be applicants of Shopee’s other key talent programs such as the Shopee Apprentice Program or the Global Leaders Program.
