Students were encouraged to develop not only their technical competencies but also the values and attitudes necessary to thrive in real-world work environments.

The culmination of the day’s activities was marked by the historic conduct of the 1st Hard Hatting Ceremony, the first of its kind in the College’s history. Students from BindTech-ADT, AT, MT, WAFTech, HVACR, ELX, and ELT proudly donned their hard hats as Batch 2027, symbolizing their readiness to embark on their OJT journey and transition from classroom learning to industry immersion.

The ceremony served as a significant milestone for the College of Business and Technology, establishing a new tradition that recognizes students’ preparedness to enter professional environments and apply the knowledge, skills, and values they have acquired throughout their academic journey. More than a symbolic rite, the Hard Hatting Ceremony underscored the responsibility, commitment, and professionalism expected of future industry practitioners.

Through meaningful learning sessions and the inaugural Hard Hatting Ceremony, student interns were empowered to begin their workplace immersion with confidence, purpose, and a strong sense of professional identity.
