It’s never too early to think of and plan for the future, even if you’re still in high school. As the global job market becomes more cutthroat with its steady shift towards digitalization and other technological advancements, it has opened up more employment opportunities for those with a background in science and technology.
Jobs in fields anchored on S&T like engineering, architecture, data science, information technology, health sciences, chemistry and biology, among others, are just some of the careers that continue to be in demand.
The job security and financial rewards of S&T-based jobs are good reasons for incoming senior high school students to seriously consider taking the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics strand of the Academic track and enrolling in a school with a strong foundation on S&T like Mapúa Senior High School.
