The Association of Universities of Asia and the Pacific (AUAP) in cooperation with the Government-Academe-Industry Network, Inc. (GAIN) will be hosting the 4th GAIN National Convention themed, "Preparing Graduates and the Current Workforce for the Global Workplace in the New Normal" to be held on May 27 and 28, 2021, 9am to 12nn via Zoom.

One of the unprecedented effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has propelled the digital economy to enact rapid changes and global adaptation, changing how we conduct business, and affecting the way we connect and communicate.

Shining the spotlight on the new normal, this convention will tackle the restructured requirements for success, covering digital literacy framework, global communication standards, micro credentials vis-à-vis a college degree, Philippine PISA results vis-a-vis national competitiveness, and the ability to adapt to remote work, the gig economy, hybrid workforces, and globally connected teams.

Since their 1st National Convention in 2018, GAIN has held and co-presented meetings, conferences, and conventions that bring together key decision makers from the public and private sectors, all of whom are invested in collaborating with unity and purpose to reinforce the competencies and global competitiveness of the Filipino workforce. GAIN's mission to empower more Filipinos to become globally competitive has remained our steadfast call to action.

 

Day 1 will feature talks on the post-pandemic workplace and its impact on the Filipino workforce, global digital proficiency standards using Learning Management Systems, the gig economy and opportunities for remote workers, freelancers, and digital nomads, micro-credentialing and its impact on education, and future-proofing careers and companies.

  

Day 2 will focus on global communication standards for the digital economy, CEFR and Philippine PISA results vis-a-vis national competitiveness, with a resource speaker from the Educational Testing Service (ETS), one of the developers of the PISA test. Highlighting the event would be a panel discussion among the Government, Academe, and Industry on addressing skills gaps and setting competencies and standards.
