Congratulations to the APEC Schools Marikina Heights Grade 12 Senior High School students for completing the NCTS Internship Program and for their presentation of learnings and experiences here at the Center! The Culminating Activity was held on June 2, 2025 at the UP NCTS Room A. The students stayed at the NCTS from April 4 to May 5, 2025 and completed eighty (80) hours of work.

 

The event was hosted by Ms. Maribelle Lobendino, NCTS REPS and Student Affairs Coordinator, and was attended by the NCTS Director, Dr. Jun Castro, who gave the welcome remarks.

The NCTS Internship Program provided the students with practical experience in conducting research, producing knowledge products, and becoming familiar with the various career paths within the engineering industry.
