It looked into the factors that influence graduating students’ desire to enter the information technology and business process management workforce. The study was conducted in the private and public senior high schools and state universities and colleges in the National Capital Region, with systematically selected respondents composed of 1,200 Grade 12 senior high school students. 

Around 60 percent of the respondents were female, 40 percent male between 16 and 21 years old. The study was conducted under the supervision of PUP academic leaders Raquel Ramos, Marcial Mojica, Cindy Fetalvero-Soliman, Mecmack Nartea and Roy Angelo Pobre, together with IBPAP industry-academe linkages lead Zoe Diaz De Rivera.

With the full implementation of the K-12 educational system in the Philippines, industries are looking to create opportunities and enable the SHS graduates to enter the workforce. The study provides insights on what can be done to positively influence the SHS graduating students to consider starting their careers in the IT-BPM industry.
