Clarence Gamez was among the top-ranked graduating students of Ramon Torres Louisiana National High School in Bago City, Negros Occidental. The program also helps successful applicants to maintain their college education while imbibing them with leadership skills and values formation through enrichment workshops and community service. Throughout their stay at UP, Careers scholars are closely monitored by EDC personnel, foster parents who ensure they can cope with their studies while being away from their families. Upon graduation, the scholars are provided job placement support by preparing them for career planning, job interviews and teaching them how to prepare CVs, among others. EDC officials just celebrated the accomplishments of Gamez and other Careers scholars with a graduation program at the EDC office in Ortigas Center, Pasig City.
