With rising inflation, a competitive job market, and uncertain global economies, students and their families are becoming more discerning when it comes to choosing college degree programs.
They are prioritizing specializations that promise long-term career success, professional fulfillment, and job stability.
According to Patrick Acorin, Director of International Career and Exchange Programs at Mapúa University, a report by job market aggregator Indeed highlights the top international careers for 2024 in sectors like healthcare, business, engineering, law, design, real estate, and medical fields. In the Philippines, the best job opportunities are in information technology (IT), marketing, finance, human resources, and healthcare, as noted by job portal Foundit.
These professions are attracting attention for their career growth potential, competitive salaries ranging from $77,448 to $258,440, and valuable socio-civic opportunities that make these fields highly rewarding. Acorin emphasizes that these roles are not just trendy, but well-established careers that have shaped industries globally for over a century. These sectors continually evolve, innovate, and contribute significantly to global economies, proving their future-readiness.
Mapúa University is committed to preparing students for success in these lucrative fields. The university offers various degree programs aligned with these in-demand sectors. Students can pursue degrees in the School of Information Technology, such as BS Data Science and BS Entertainment and Multimedia Computing (Game Development), as well as the BS Energy Engineering program in the School of MME. Mapúa’s E.T. Yuchengco School of Business, School of Health Sciences, School of Nursing, and School of Medicine also offer specialized courses through their collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU).
"Mapúa equips students with academic and career advantages by offering updated, industry-aligned curricula taught by industry experts," said Acorin.
Beyond academics, Mapúa ensures students gain hands-on experience through internships, international exposure, and program-specific activities. These opportunities help students build professional networks and secure global job opportunities even before they graduate.
For those enrolled in Mapúa-ASU programs, the university offers career paths in business and healthcare that are designed to foster global industry leaders. Additionally, Mapúa’s microcredentialing programs in partnership with Coursera allow students to upskill and master specialized tracks that enhance their professional capabilities.
"Students aspiring to pursue these in-demand careers should choose a university that will support them in achieving their academic and professional goals. At Mapúa, our outcomes-based learning ensures that graduates are not only technically proficient but also committed to lifelong learning and improvement," Acorin added.
