First Future

About the Project

The First Future Project was a pioneering private sector initiative that supported K to 12 students and graduates by providing real-world work immersion and job opportunities. Implemented from 2018 to 2021, it bridged the gap between education and employment by connecting companies, schools, and students.

Funded by the Citi Foundation under the global Pathways to Progress initiative, the project helped prepare young Filipinos for the workforce by equipping them with essential skills and first-hand experience, building not just better workers—but better citizens.
