Government agencies now recommend these in-demand courses to those who are still thinking of which course to take up in college.
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) said that it is better to know which jobs are needed among the industries where you can land a sure high earning job after completing college.
"There is a mismatch, it has been going on for a long time now... there is a domestic demand, there is a global demand, and it is a tricky situation sometimes to address all of these simultaneously," said CHED OIC Dr. Prospero de Vera.
Among the courses which are in demand for employment here and abroad are metallurgical engineers, environmental engineers, at sanitation engineers as well as dentistry and graphics animation.
Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) also said that jobs which are in demand today are construction related skills such as welder, plumber, electrician, and construction worker for "Build, Build, Build" projects of the government.
There is also a great demand for workers in the agriculture sector according to Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
