One of the goals of the institution is to make students learn and discover new things. Recently, UST Angelicum College collaborated with KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), which is a research university located in Daedeok, Innopolis, Daejeon, South Korea.
The training seminar started last August 23, 2021. The opening program began with the introduction of the coordinators from UST Angelicum College and KAIST, specifically, those selected SHS 2 students from ABM and STEM strands that attended this program was also composed of 4 teams. These 4 teams include: Team Tungkod, Mabuhay APP, HFAST (Hydropower Flood Alarm Power System) and Bisikleta.
The selected learners from UST Angelicum College and KAIST have learned a majority of adeptness from the training seminar are such; first is to experience the first-hand challenges of starting and scaling dynamic technology-intensive ventures, the second is hands-on experience working with a fast-paced scalable venture, and lastly is a solid grasp of industry, technology and market and understanding of how to use resources to build a growth-oriented venture. As to also develop the skills to operate, communicate, and coordinate in an international cross-cultural team. At the end of the 9-day training seminar dated August 31, 2021, the goal of the participants was attained into learning about the basics of innovation and global marketing consulting in Korea hence to apply these lessons in Philippine ventures as well.
It is important to learn new things that will make everyone have more knowledge for the future and apply this in everyday life. This is an opportunity for the future generation, especially to make new innovations for the country towards development. Consequently, building a connection between two countries is like a bridge that leads to a path of friendship and prosperity.
