Java training in the Philippines

The software outsourcing sector started hiring more manpower since 2006. Companies prioritize hiring experienced Enterprise Java developers who do not require advanced training anymore in Java programming.

But unlike the awareness for contact center manpower requirements, the awareness of a resurgent software development sector is dismal. Added to this, the education and training barriers for Java programmers are quite high.

Most IT companies require a bachelor of science degree for entry level positions. But holding a bachelor of science degree does not assure a candidate of landing a Java developer job.

The candidate needs to pass a stringent recruitment process. Afterwards, the candidate undergoes a company-sponsored Java training program.

The Java training period usually lasts for 240 hours or 6 weeks. The candidate gets hired only if s/he successfully hurdles the Java training course.

There is an urgent need for more, and better trained, Java developers.

Contact center slowdown

Recent developments in the Philippine contact center industry has been discouraging.

According to reliable sources, major multinational players have stopped hiring customer service agents in the meantime due to over-hiring.

In fact, some have started to shed off excess manpower.

The U.S. economy downturn badly affected the Philippine contact center industry. Obviously, the contact center sector needs to diversify its client base to lessen dependence on U.S. customers.

The sector needs to acquire more clients from Japan and Europe. Although client diversification requires multi-lingual agents that the Philippines sorely lacks.

But all is not lost!

Another sector in the outsourcing/offshoring industry is picking up the slack.

Overseas job prospects critical factor in Philippine higher education enrollment

Overseas job opportunity heavily influences higher education enrollment decisions of Filipino families.

An overseas job relates to a better pay scale compared to local employment. It is also closely linked to the possibility of migrating to another country, the United States in particular.

The Philippine higher education enrollment statistics for the past 5 years supports this claim.

The consistent enrollment in maritime and education courses points to Filipino families looking at overseas employment prospects as a major factor in decision-making. This is also supported by the nursing phenomenon in Philippine higher education.

Recently, the enrollment shifted in favor of hospitality-related courses.

The significant increase in enrollment of hospitality-related courses further proves Filipinos favoring higher education courses that provide overseas job opportunities.
