TO build a more world-class and competent labor force in the Philippines, AMA Education System is pioneering a full online-education program in the country to equip Filipinos with the right skills needed in a highly complex workplace brought about by today’s information and technological advancements.
AMA Online Education (AMA OEd) offers certificate and degree programs for students to gain practical, yet essential, skills, in today’s technologically driven work environment.
“Self-directed learning is the thrust of online education,” said Ambassador Amable R. Aguiluz V, chairman emeritus of AMA Education System.
With the utilization of supplementary videos replicating face-to-face interactions, as well as online course modules substituting a classroom lecture, students set in a “virtual” class are expected to be starters on their own.
Because organizations —whether big or small—expect their employees to be technologically literate to boost their productivity, teaching them lessons about the Web allows immersion to the language of new technological trends.
“An independent attitude, coupled with time-management skills and personal responsibility, creates a student ready to face the challenges of a shifting work environment,” he added.
Enrollees to AMA OEd are guaranteed to get the same academic quality of a campus-based university given that all its courses and degree programs are certified by the Commission on Higher Education.
As an enabler for students to learn at their own pace, it is likewise seen to create a big impact to the labor market to meet both local and global requirements for talents today and in the future.
