Farewell Program

The CBET Graduating Class farewell program was held last March 28, 2008 from 1-3pm at the RTU Gymnasium. Specifically, the farewell activity aimed to prepare and inspire the graduating class for the challenges of the working world.

Each of the faculty-attendees gave motivational messages and useful pieces of advice on how the graduating students look for or handle their first jobs. Another message is from an invited resource person from Entrepinoy- Prof. Lawrence Yatco who gave them an alternative-to go entrepreneurial so they would not land jobless even if they could not find job in a corporate setting.
