Every year, hundreds of IT and CS graduates enter the job market in Bangsamoro, but meaningful tech jobs are scarce. As someone who faced this reality, I want to share how we're changing that narrative.
The Numbers Don't Lie
BARMM produces hundreds of IT graduates annually, yet most end up in non-tech jobs or leave the region entirely. The few tech positions available are often low-paying data entry or basic IT support roles.
“Every project we take on isn't just a contract—it's a chance to create meaningful work for local developers.”
Why This Matters
When graduates can't find relevant work, their skills atrophy. The region loses potential innovators and problem-solvers. Families invest in education that doesn't lead to meaningful careers.
