Ready, Set, Hired! CONNECT 2025 Jo Fair Opens Doors of Opportunity at CMC

Central Mindanao Colleges (CMC) successfully hosted the CONNECT 2025 Job Fair on August 15, 2025, at the CMC Quadrangle, bringing together students, alumni, and job seekers with leading employers and partner government agencies.

The Job Fair, organized by the Center for Job Placement (CJP) in collaboration with the Center for Alumni Affairs (CAA) and the Graduate School Education Student Council (GSE SC), served as a vital platform for employment readiness and workforce development.

With the theme “Ready, Set, Hired!”, the fair gathered numerous participating companies and organizations offering job opportunities across different sectors. Government partners such as the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Cotabato Field Office (CFO), Public Employment Service Office (PESO) Kidapawan, Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) extended their support by providing guidance, resources, and linkages for applicants.

The event also featured the active participation of Alpha Phi Omega, student volunteers, and various support teams who ensured the smooth facilitation of the program.

For graduating students and alumni, the CONNECT 2025 Job Fair was not only an avenue to explore job openings but also an opportunity to practice professional networking and gain first-hand experience in recruitment processes. By directly engaging with employers, applicants were able to showcase their skills, submit applications, and even secure interviews on-site.

The initiative reflects CMC’s strong commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). Through academic-industry collaboration, the institution continues to prepare globally competitive graduates while contributing to inclusive growth and sustainable development.

As the day concluded, CONNECT 2025 was celebrated as more than just a job fair—it was a bridge connecting CMCians to their future careers, reminding them that every application is a step closer to success.
