Building BLOKCs at UMAK Internship Expo 2023

The BLOKC, through its Building BLOKCs program in partnership with the Solana Foundation, brought Web3 and blockchain career insights to students at the University of Makati (UMAK) Internship Expo 2023.

Held on October 17, 2023, the expo carried the theme "Aiming Beyond Better in the Borderless Employment Landscape" — a fitting backdrop for The BLOKC to introduce the next generation of Filipino professionals to the rapidly growing world of blockchain technology.

At the event, The BLOKC shared valuable information on internship and career opportunities within the Web3 and blockchain industry, helping students understand how they can position themselves for roles in one of the most innovative and fast-evolving sectors in the global job market.

The participation underscores The BLOKC's ongoing commitment to bridging the gap between traditional education and the emerging digital economy. By engaging directly with university students, the organization continues to expand its reach and ensure that Filipino youth are equipped with the knowledge and pathways they need to thrive in a borderless, decentralized future.

Building BLOKCs is The BLOKC's academic outreach initiative, designed to bring blockchain education and industry exposure directly to campuses across the Philippines. Backed by the Solana Foundation, the program aims to cultivate a new wave of Web3-ready talent from within the country's academic institutions.

As blockchain adoption accelerates both locally and globally, events like the UMAK Internship Expo serve as critical touchpoints — sparking curiosity, opening doors, and inspiring students to explore careers that didn't exist just a decade ago.
