About Markprof Foundation, Inc.
(Moving towards a Better Philippines)

Markprof Foundation is a non-profit
organization supporting 25 dreams every year, realized by elevating Marketing
and Sales, not only as a noble profession but more importantly as an advantaged
position to effect meaningful change in society.

 

This is achieved through Markprof’s
cornerstone project – the Search for the Top 25 Marketing
Management Trainees of the Philippines.
An annual search that begins
with a rigorous five-step screening process, candidates for the top 25 are
identified from an initial pool of over one thousand applicants representing
the country’s major colleges and universities. Once admitted, the
trainees undergo a free-of-charge seven-weekend Marketing Bootcamp that provides
unparalleled training in Marketing and Sales, and professional career
counseling not usually afforded to them.

 

But the beauty of the entire program lies
on the Resume Equalizer advantage that a Markprof training
extends to its graduates, especially to those who were unable to attend
prestigious schools because of financial standing… a major consideration
amidst hiring trends that often put more premium on school rather than personal
competence.

 

To support this little advocacy, the
foundation produces an annual business knowledge forum through its Markprof
Business Academy
(MBA) Seminar Series, whose full
proceeds will go directly to the 2008 Marketing Bootcamp. Coming from a
successful execution in 2007, this year sees a bolder execution of MBA with
a bigger target audience as well as the vision of breaking the million mark, in
terms of ticket sales… which, in turn, is crucial in order for the
foundation to expand its reach in 2008 and make a difference in more lives.
