Communications agency ComCo Southeast Asia announces the opening of the 11th cycle of its award-winning mentorship program.
The Camp ComCo Mentorship Program, a Gold Anvil Award winner for Specialized Public Relations Program, trains creative apprentices to push the boundaries of the global practices and emerging disciplines of New PR and Smart Social.
Built by the agency’s pool of experts, Camp ComCo Mentorship Program is an intensive and comprehensive talent incubation initiative, industry linkage course, and apprenticeship program designed to transform communication, marketing, and multimedia arts students and fresh graduates into revolutionary practitioners of the industry.
Presented in three phases: Skills Calibration, Strategic Communications Immersion, and Specialization Elective, the Camp ComCo curriculum is facilitated by ComCo Southeast Asia’s pool of marketing and communication experts and its network of industry practitioners in the region.
The program gives participants the opportunity to interact with experts in the field, work on actual communication projects, and learn about the latest trends in the industry.
“We are a believer that it is not solely the school that defines the life-long craft of a student, but more importantly it’s the kind of apprenticeship he will experience—the jumping board of what his life’s work will be,” said Ferdinand Bondoy, regional integration and chief executive director of ComCo SEA and creator of the mentorship program.
In its third year, the Camp ComCo Mentorship Program was able to graduate 39 apprentices from 10 cycles, all of which hailing from various colleges and universities, such as University of the Philippines, University of Santo Tomas, De La Salle University, Ateneo de Manila University, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Trinity University of Asia, University of Perpetual Help Dalta, and Treston International Colleges, among others.
Most Camp ComCo graduates are now involved in communications, marketing, and digital work in ComCo Southeast Asia and other companies as well as government institutions. Some are pursuing graduate studies and teaching in universities, passing on what they learned in school and at the camp.
