With the assistance of professional organizations and the academe, Schoolguide Advanced researchers are gathering information about new technologies pertinent to career growth that will benefit the interests of graduating college students and professionals in private firms and government agencies. “I look forward to the success of this magazine. With the support of experts in the career and human resource industries, as well as higher education institutions, we should be able to develop creative ways that will spur interest in many people to plan and work out clearer career paths,” Richard Celso, Communication Officer of GuidanceNGO states. Seminars to complement the information in Schoolguide Advanced are now being scheduled for private firms, government agencies, colleges and universities, other educational institutions, and various organizations. The seminars will tackle career development and its impact in personal growth and national interests and will be attended by college students and professionals who are interested to pursue post-baccalaureate studies in a variety of disciplines. Those who are interested to avail of GuidanceNGO’s career advancement seminars are advised to get in touch with GuidanceNGO’s seminar coordinator, Mr. Ed Boquecosa. GuidanceNGO tries home network setup to save P240K annually GuidanceNGO experiments on a human resource setup wherein employees coordinate work from their respective homes beginning March 2010. The employees synchronize tasks via the Internet and dedicated phone lines. The experimental system is conceived to channel P240,000 per year in office rent and utilities to transportation, communication, and lodging expenses of its mostly mobile people as they research, visit schools, and conduct seminars in the provinces. This new arrangement is expected to result in more schools benefitting from the information drive that GuidanceNGO has been doing the past 10 years. “Even if the number of our sponsors have dramatically increased, rarely do they visit us; we usually visit them,” remarked Tom Ocampo, GuidanceNGO’s managing director. “Besides, we are so used to working in shorts and flip-flops in the office that there shouldn’t be much difficulty adapting to this new setup,” he added. Employees take turns hosting the weekly assembly devoted to training and general meetings. Commenting on its new office scheme, Junn Geronimo, GuidanceNGO’s director for communications declares: “Safeguards are in place for professionalism and firm adherence to GuidanceNGO’s advocacies despite doing work at home. Now, homework takes on a new meaning.” An office-depot, which houses the materials being used by GuidanceNGO, will serve as its official address and where correspondence can be addressed. New contact details of GuidanceNGO are published in this site.
GuidanceNGO Embarks on Nationwide Campaign
GuidanceNGO kicks off its nationwide information dissemination campaign with seminars in Southern Tagalog and Central Luzon high schools. The seminar is designed to aid students through the use of evaluation criteria that can assess the competencies of colleges and universities in rendering tertiary education.
English Seminar Proven to be a Big Help
Guidance NGO has created a new seminar to deal with the communication problems prevalent in the country. The English seminar—which tackles grammar, spelling, word use, pronunciation, and punctuation—is designed to aid not only the students, but also the members of the faculty and the school personnel. A common problem in English classes is that many teachers are yet to gain mastery of the language so they can mold their students into effective communicators. Through the seminar, students and faculty members realize common communication mistakes. They also learn ways to recognize instances when they commit mistakes and how to correct them.
Decision making is perhaps one of the most difficult things to do. What aggravates it is the lack of information about factors to consider and the likely outcome of one’s decision. Sadly, many students in high school experience this dilemma when choosing among college programs. Schoolguide and GuidanceNGO have come up with a seminar titled Paths that addresses these situations. A magazine, with the same title, has been released to complement the seminar and serve as a reviewer about various academic programs. Choices: A hit seminar in high schools
The Choices seminar has become a byword among guidance counselors in many high schools due to its neutral presentation of the competencies of colleges and universities. Students are assisted on how to determine which schools to consider for various academic programs. The discussion revolves around accreditation, board exam performance of colleges and universities, and citations given by the Commission on Higher Education. Further, the students are given options on which schools to look into based on their economic and social backgrounds, as well as their intellectual aptitudes.
