Map senior high school skills to real entry-level work
Create a tool that helps senior high school students understand what work they can already try, practice, or prepare for.
Problem
What needs solving
Many students graduate with projects, strand knowledge, and informal skills, but they struggle to translate those experiences into specific roles, portfolios, or next steps.
Why it matters
The Philippine context
Better skill translation can help students discover opportunities earlier and help employers see potential beyond credentials.
