Looks like Nursing is not the most in-demand job in the
Philippines anymore. Two fields are now emerging as the most highly in-demand careers
in the Philippines according to the NSCB or the National Statistical
Coordination Board.
Accounting and Engineering are currently the two fields with
high job opportunities for the past couple of months according to reports. NSCB
Secretary General Jose Ramon Albert told in the latest report called “Beyond
the Numbers,” these two occupations have high job vacancies but are very hard to
fill in.
The is because companies in need of Accountants and
Engineers usually require applicants to pass one if not a series of exams first
before considering the application. In other cases, applicants who have enough
skills and experience expect high salary offer.
The top ten highly in demand Professions in the Philippines
are the following:
- Accountant, Auditor
- ECE (Electronics and Communications Engineer)
- System Designer and Analyst
- Electrical Engineer
- Mechanical Engineer
- Industrial Engineer
- MedTech (Medical Technologist)
- Pharmacist
- Teacher for disabled or handicapped students
- Chemical Engineer
The country has produced an oversupply of Nurses or Nursing
graduates for the past years and vast measures are being done to control this
including closing down some schools and enforcing new programs.
