MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The robust growth of the Philippines’ digital economy, forecasted to reach ~$35B by 2025, is largely fueled by the e-commerce sector.
With the country’s continued progress towards digital transformation, the demand for industry-ready professionals has enabled the emergence of employment opportunities especially for young talents seeking to enter the industry’s dynamic workforce.
“I wanted to experience something that would allow me to apply everything I learned from school in a real-world, professional setting,” says Nicole, a Management Engineering student from Ateneo de Manila University who scored an internship under Shopee’s Operations team. Interns under the Apprentice Program receive direct training from department heads for them to succeed in their projects and ultimately, to sharpen their professional development.
In addition to their training as budding leaders, interns under the Apprentice Program who finish their stint with exceptional performance are endorsed to Shopee’s two-year Graduate Development Program, a management training program that allows trainees to deep dive into cross-functional roles across the company’s key business functions.
