Are you tech-savvy enough to thrive in the future?
In January 2025, The World Economic Forum released a report showcasing the growing demand for tech-related skills, especially in AI and big data, as advancements continue to reshape industries and how we work.
In the Philippines, this shift is even more crucial, with 68% of Filipino workers expected to require training to keep up with evolving demands, surpassing the global average of 59%. To stay ahead, professionals need more than just a degree, they need future-ready skills.
Luckily, Mapúa Malayan Digital College (MMDC) is making this necessary upskilling more accessible. As a digital-first college offering flexible online learning, MMDC helps address the pressing needs of working students by offering a fully online Bachelor of Science Information Technology (BS IT) degree program with a flexible schedule of morning, afternoon, and evening classes.
