Youth Job Readiness with Project Bamboo

By Hazel Briones | Digital Engagement and Fundraising Associate

First Impression Count: Youth trained in CV Writing and Branding

Seventeen (17) youth from Batch 9 of Project Bamboo participated in a focused professional development session conducted by Michael Page, a globally recognized recruitment firm. The session centered on CV writing and personal branding, aiming to equip participants with essential tools to navigate the competitive job market. This initiative is part of Project Bamboo’s broader strategy to provide youth- particularly those in children in street situations- with practical, employment-oriented training.

The CV writing segment offered clear and structured guidance on how to present qualifications, experiences, and achievements effectively. Participants learned to tailor their resumes based on job roles, emphasizing measurable results and relevant skills. Michael Page professional also introduced key formatting standards and technique to help participants pass through applicant pass through applicant tracking system. a common part of today’s recruitment process.

In the personal branding workshop, participants were encouraged to develop a strong sense of professional identity. They were taught how to introduce themselves effectively in interviews and networking situations, refine their social media presence, and construct impactful personal summaries. These exercises were designed not only to improve self-presentation but also confidence when entering formal job settings.

This workshop is just one of several capacity-building efforts under Project Bamboo, a youth empowerment program led by Childhope Philippines. The program includes modules on entrepreneurships, digital literacy, job, readiness, and vocation training further strengthening their employment credentials and opening pathways to stable work.

Through this collaboration with Michael Page, Project Bamboo demonstrates how targeted skills training and mentorship can increase youth employability. The effort aligns with current labor development goals in the Philippines, where youth employment remains as pressing issue. Preliminary feedback from Batch 9 indicates improved preparedness for job application and interviews. As more outcomes are documented , this initiative will contiue to serve as a model for effective, community-based employment support for vulnerable children in the street situation.
