This Free Learning Platform Can Help You Upskill and Grow Your Career
Introducing seekMAX.
(SPOT.ph) The COVID-19 pandemic have forced the workforce to be flexible—for better or for worse—pushing more Filipino employees to retrain and upskill. So if you're one of them, here's news you'll want to hear: JobStreet by SEEK has launched a new digital platform to help you grow your career for free.
Introducing seekMAX, an in-app learning platform where you can watch engaging videos and connect with other professionals so you can upskill, reskill, and get that edge at work without paying a single peso.
“Candidates need to continue upskilling not only for professional growth, but also for honing their soft skills which is what most industries look out for nowadays more than the candidate’s proficiency in their technical skills," said JobStreet Philippines' Managing Director Dannah Majarocon.
"Through seekMAX, they can learn new things, master their expertise, and be connected with industry experts as well as a supportive professional community,” said JobStreet Philippines' Managing Director Dannah Majarocon.
