With the two flourishing Cebu IT park and Cebu Business Park, Cebu has been the center of Business Process Outsourcing and Knowledge Process Outsourcing in the south. Both BPO parks are now home to more than a hundred thousand jobs.

Other forms of informal trainings are also available for grabs too ranging from interesting internships from leading developing agencies to accredited TESDA trainings.
These are just some of the institution reasons why more and more foreigners are opting for schooling in Cebu.
Cebu now is the fastest growing economy outside of Metro Manila of 4 million Filipinos with high literacy rate. No wonder, many western companies are opting for its movement to this island paradise where the mountains and the seas are just literally minutes away from the business of the office.
