Employability Of I.t. Grads Of Your School

[exmaldita]

I would like to know the factors that made the I. T. graduates of your school employable. And what are its major effects to the school's curriculum development?

[orangepink]

hmmm...well, i got a job right after graduation not only because of my school but because of my thesis project. so i guess, a student's thesis really helps a lot.

[josh21]

yep laking bagay talaga thesis, it took me 4 months bago ko nakuha *** first job ko, at yung thesis ko nga pinakita ko sa nag interview sa akin as my portfolio.

[tidus1203]

IMO reputable school is very important. Yan talaga pansin ko not just in IT but in any field.

[paralusi]

the IT industry, in general, has not been too "selective" lately due to market demand and the desire to compete with the IT firms from other countries, particularly india, for offshore clients.

just do well in the exams and in the interview and you'll be fine.

[simoen]

may edge pa rin yung reputable schools but it's the experience and knowledge that counts. also, school projects are VERY IMPORTANT. grades come next to projects.

my advise : while you're still in college, check out job ads in jobstreet kulang ano qualifications hinahanap nila. if mas maraming ads for open source technologies like java, php, mysql, linux then why not put that into your thesis proposal? how i wish i had this foresight back in college.

If it's AMA goodbye!

The image that they are trying to project is somewhat distorting for some parents. UP, DLSU, Ateneo and UST can produce a lot of programmers too but they chose not to. AMA charges more than DLSU does interms of tuition fees now, any justification? (I can't find any so if anybody here does have answers to this go ahead and post a reply)

hay!

[AbulugAdventure]

^Mas mahal ang DLSU and UST kesa sa amin.

Marami din naman ang naeemploy pag AMA grad ka ng IT.

[josh21]

okey naman sa AMA dati pero di na ngayon. most of the senior programmers sa company namin are AMA grads including me.

Kung matagal ka na sa industriya ng IT, alam mong walang kinalaman ang iskul mo. Kung nangangailangan ang kumpanya mo ng Oracle Database Programmer, hahanap ka ng taong marunong at magaling dun PERIOD.

Kapag fresh grad ka, dun tinatanong kung saan ka graduate. Pero kung senior na, wala ng tanong tanong ng iskul. Prayoridad ang talento at kakayanan.

so right. when i was a senior in college, i was so worried i wouldn't land a job 'cuz of my grades but in reality, they look for experience so try getting a part time job na lang or yung contractual like work at home. that's whats important ****.

[exmaldita]

Salamat po sa reply ninyo.

Orangepink, it follows that the student's OJT is a great help. Kaso iyong ibang company, pinagtitimpla lang kape ang mga OJT.

[dirt_lap]

i don't agree with those companies who let you make coffee than actual work. if i were in that situation, i'd rather look for another company who could offer me the working experience that i need.

I agree. Dapat talagang malinaw ang Memo of Agreement.

I think I know which school you are from. Not all schools have a MOA with a company, and REALLY pull out a student if they are not doing any real work to be reassigned to another company.

Siempre plus factor din kung reputable ang school na pinanggalingan lalo na mabigat ang kompetisyon sa IT, lalo na sa Oracle. Ang daming 5 years plus experience madaming Certified.

In most countries overseas employers don't only look at the school but also the strengths of one's particular course. For example, Harvard is known for business and law while MIT is known for engineering. Have you actually heard anything about MIT's philosophy department? Mind you na merong philo department ang MIT. It's the same thing here in Australia, the Uni of Sydney is one of the top 3 in the country pero lampaso sila sa compsci/IT to almost half the other schools in the state of NSW. They're a business/law school. I know for a fact that IBM Research here take cryptographers from schools not in the top 5: Queensland Uni of Technology, Uni of Wollongong and Macquarie Uni simply cuz they're the only universities in the country with centres in cryptography. Sa Pilipinas ko lang nakita yung extreme bias towards other universities where in fact there are people graduating from the so called big three with mediocre degrees. I know that for a FACT.

FEU-East Asia College
brief history

The original company, Asia Pacific Computer Technology Center (APCTC), was setup as early as July 1991 by SM Foundation and IBM Philippines. In January 1992, APCTC joined forces with Far Eastern University (FEU) and Intelligent Wave, Inc. (IWI), and set up a computer school, which was subsequently called East Asia Institute of Information Technology.

Initially, the only course offered was leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer and Information Science (BS CIS). In 1994, East Asia Institute of Information Technology started to offer courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (BS COE).



On September 30, 1998, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) noted the change in the name of East Asia Institute of Computer Technology (EAICT) to East Asia College of Information Technology.

On February 24, 2000, East Asia College of Information Technology was identified by CHED as a Center of Development for Excellence in Information Technology Education.
In 2001, CHED approved the proposal of East Asia College of Information Technology to offer additional courses leading to Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and Bachelor of Science in Information Management.

Also in 2001, FEU reopened its College of Engineering offering a trimestral (4 years and one term) program, which prepares students for a career in the engineering industry.

In 2003, the FEU-College of Engineering merged with East Asia College of Information Technology's College of Computer Studies to form FEU-East Asia College.
