Foundever™, a global leader in the customer experience (CX) industry, continues to give back to the youth in marginalized sectors by partnering with the Philippines-based Virlanie Foundation in conducting a Career Planning forum for the beneficiaries the foundation’s Independent Living Program (ILP).

The instructive Career Planning forum, held at the Foundever Technopoint hub in Manila, was part of a youth empowerment initiative between Foundever and Virlanie Foundation. The forum provided a one-of-a-kind venue for ambitious professionals to acquire insights, assistance and motivation for launching successful careers.

The primary objectives of the forum were to teach young adults the fundamentals of career planning, self-confidence and resilience, thereby preparing them to enter the workforce with the necessary skills and confidence. The interactive sessions included skillset training, confidence building and career pathing, all aimed at nurturing the participants' personal and professional development.

"We are thrilled to have partnered with Virlanie Foundation in conducting this Career Planning forum," said Rowel Villalobos, Talent Acquisition Director at Foundever. "By providing insights, assistance and drive for their dreams and future paths, we hope to empower the Virlanie beneficiaries and contribute to their growth."

Beneficiaries were also appreciative of the guidance provided by Foundever. Abraham Fernandez, said he hopes more programs similar to this would be offered by Foundever, because this was really helpful for graduating students like him.

"To 'plan for right now and what's ahead' is a phrase much relevant to my current situation. This may not help me land a job immediately, but it reinforces my character to persevere in this season of job hunting," he said.

Anabelle del Monte said for her, this forum gave her a stronger sense of confidence in entering the workforce. “Truth is, I am still struggling on which path to take for my career. The speakers gave me a lot to think about and as simple as this forum might be, it provided an opportunity to discover ourselves and build confidence."

The Career Planning forum exemplifies Foundever's commitment to making a positive impact on the community. Through empowering the youth with essential career planning skills and confidence, both organizations seek to create a brighter and more promising future for the beneficiaries.
