By: Ivana Ruth C. Vidal
The Mapúa MCL Career Fair 2026 was successfully held on March 4, 2026, bringing together graduating students, alumni, and aspiring professionals for a day dedicated to career exploration, networking, and industry engagement.
Organized by the Office for Strategic Partnerships and Global Engagement (OSPGE) of Mapúa Malayan Colleges Laguna (Mapúa MCL), the event served as a dynamic platform where job seekers were able to connect directly with participating companies through dedicated recruitment booths. Representatives from various industries were present to introduce their organizations, share information about available positions, and discuss career pathways with attendees eager to enter the professional workforce.
Throughout the event, students and alumni had the opportunity to explore employment opportunities across diverse sectors, inquire about internship and entry-level roles, and gain firsthand insights into the evolving demands of today’s job market. The fair also provided participants with valuable exposure to workplace expectations, hiring processes, and the competencies that employers look for in potential candidates.
Beyond recruitment, the Career Fair fostered meaningful dialogue between academia and industry. By engaging with professionals and recruiters, attendees were able to ask questions, seek career advice, and learn more about how they can align their academic preparation with real-world professional requirements. The activity also allowed participating companies to connect with a pool of promising talent from Mapúa MCL, strengthening partnerships that support future collaborations in training, internships, and employment.
The initiative reflects Mapúa MCL’s commitment to supporting students and alumni as they transition from academic life to the professional world. By providing platforms that facilitate industry exposure and career readiness, the institution continues to empower its graduates to become globally competitive professionals equipped with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving workforce.
