Manila, Cebu, and Davao are often cited as major IT career hubs. However, it is worth noting that Cagayan de Oro, the Philippine’s aspiring fourth metropolitan area, presents similar opportunities for aspiring IT professionals in the northern capital of Mindanao. Thus, individuals, especially employees, can expect many job opportunities and high possibilities of getting accepted in their desired careers.
On the other hand, information and communications technology (ICT) is one of the thriving careers in the city. Numerous IT and BPO jobs are offered such as virtual assistants, digital marketers and many others. So, if you’re tech-savvy and happen to live in Mindanao or near the island, it’s your chance to give it a shot and unleash your IT skills!
Being one of DICT’s Next Wave Cities, the city has estimated around 8,500 employees active in the ICT industry, making Cagayan de Oro a strong hub for voice, non-voice and technology-based opportunities, contrary to some saying that the city is a digital sweatshop.
Indubitably, the city also produces excellent IT individuals from prestigious academic institutions, making Cagayan de Oro an ideal place to seek the “ICT” dream you’re looking for. Thus, Filipino youth continue to flourish in the industry through their exceptional skills in English communication paired with a high literacy rate.
Additionally, the Philippines, as a whole, has been recognized as one of the thriving Asian countries in technology-based markets. And because of the continuous teamwork and dedication of all of the registered BPO companies in the Cagayan de Oro City, there is no denying that the industry has been contributing to the success of the local economy.
