CMZ STEPH: PILAR COLLEGE OF ZAMBOANGA CITY @ OCTOBER 2016

October 15, 2016

Today, CMZ welcomed Pilar College of Zamboanga City Grade 10 for the S.T.E.P.H. Program.

S.T.E.P.H. stands for Student Tour for Exposure to Professions in Healthcare which is a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) program for Career Advocacy  under Human Resource with Ms Juvee Calica, Human Resource Manager as lead.

High School students are invited to the STEPH Program, as one of the activities to complement the school’s guidance office initiatives to assist students in their career choice.

SPEAKERS.

Ms. Juvee Calica, Human Resource Manager as Lead

Ms. Celita Calma, Nursing Director for the Nursing profession

Ms. Karren Mae Masuhud, Administrative Officer for Admin positions, Ms. Juvee Calica, HR Manager and Dr. Filipinas Rojo for Medical and Ancillary professions.

Infection Control Nurse, ms. Kamille Alcala on Infection Prevention and Control especially on Hand Hygiene for Global Handwashing Day.

Students are given the chance to interact with the healthcare personnel.

We were very impressed by the Pilar College of Zamboanga City students... on how well mannered they were... on how they handled themselves around the hospital... on how inquisitive they were... and how intelligent and eloquent they were. 

We are so glad to have met you all. You also inspired us to be youthful and happy. 

And we do hope the CMZ career advocacy program can really help you in one way or the other in your decision-making!
