“I see a lot of potential in this batch of students,” IdeaHub IT Solutions supervisor Brent Jimenez said.
Student interns also gave their appreciation for the 200-hour training experience in various media fields of print, TV, radio and private communications.
“It was fulfilling to have finished 200 hours of training and exposure outside school,” mass communication student Vanesa Duma-an expressed.
