Bossjob Partners with Top Universities to Help Graduates Kickstart Their Careers

Published

on

MANILA, Philippines, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The number of college graduates in the Philippines is projected to reach 600,000 to 700,000 by 2025, intensifying competition in an already challenging job market. Recognizing the urgent need to bridge the gap between education and employment, Bossjob is taking proactive steps to empower fresh graduates. Through strategic partnerships with top universities across the country, Bossjob hosts career talks, job fairs, and other initiatives designed to connect graduates with the right opportunities. By providing a precise and accessible job search platform, Bossjob is committed to equipping young professionals with the tools they need to launch successful careers.

Build a bridge between universities and enterprises to help talents and enterprises accurately connect

As one of the leading platforms that actively focus on the Philippines’ career development, Bossjob has been actively collaborating with top universities and government agencies to bridge the gap between education and employment. Since the beginning of the year, Bossjob has successfully organized over ten career development events, including career dialogues, job fairs, and career lectures, offering graduates comprehensive career support. By leveraging university resources, these initiatives not only provide a precise job-matching platform but also equip students with essential coaching in job search strategies, career planning, and interview skills, ensuring a seamless transition into the workforce.

At career fairs hosted by institutions like Mapúa University and the University of the Philippines, Bossjob established dedicated booths that attracted a significant number of graduates and alumni seeking career guidance. Through the platform, students and young professionals can create personalized career profiles and receive tailored job recommendations based on their skills, interests, and career aspirations—helping them take confident steps toward their professional goals.

Bossjob continues to expand its impact by actively participating in job fairs organized by the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) across various municipalities, including Muntinlupa, Parañaque, Antipolo, and Pasay. These events have created valuable employment opportunities for local job seekers. As an exhibitor, Bossjob not only assists candidates in building personalized career profiles but also connects them with job opportunities that align with their skills and aspirations.

Further strengthening its commitment to career empowerment, Bossjob has launched the “Like a Boss” webinar series, featuring industry experts who provide practical job search strategies and career development insights. These free sessions equip college graduates and young professionals with essential skills, helping them stand out in a competitive job market and advance their professional journeys with confidence.

Focusing on women’s employment and promoting workplace equality and diversity

Bossjob’s initiatives go beyond providing career resources for graduates—they also champion workplace diversity and gender equality. Recognizing the challenges women face in employment, Bossjob is committed to fostering an inclusive job market that drives sustainable development in the Philippines.

According to Labor Force Statistical Data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), while more Filipino women are earning university degrees, their employment rates remain lower than those of men, who continue to dominate the workforce.

In response, Bossjob marked Women’s Month in March by partnering with PESO in Pasay and Malabon to host job fairs focused on female employment. The Pasay event alone attracted over 600 job seekers, with women making up more than 60% of the attendees. Beyond offering diverse job opportunities, these events provided one-on-one career guidance, empowering women to break into traditionally male-dominated industries and advance workplace gender equality.

Bossjob CEO Anthony said, “Career development is not just about finding a job, but also an important way to achieve personal value and social progress. In the future, Bossjob will continue to provide comprehensive career support for job seekers, not only deepening cooperation with universities to provide career development support for more graduates, but also creating more equal opportunities for female job seekers and promoting sustainable development of Philippine society.”

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
