Defining the News

Amid a nationwide effort to enhance integrated circuit design capabilities, the government private sector vented out concerns about the decreasing enrollment in engineering courses, particularly in software and information technology engineering.

“Based on recent data, with about 80,000 to 100,000 graduates, only 10 percent are engineers. At this rate, we will be hard-pressed to deliver the government projection of 128,000 engineers by 2028,” Lachica said. BOI managing director Ceferino Rodolfo said that the main focus is to encourage junior and senior high school students to consider careers in engineering, highlighting the numerous opportunities within the semiconductor industry.

Additionally, campus advocacy campaigns are being conducted to raise awareness about the promising career prospects in the semiconductor sector.
