Throughout this three-year partnership, BFF shall provide internship/apprenticeship, curriculum development, instructional support, and scholarships.

Industry-academe consultations, assessments of students and graduates, and collaborative activities will be undertaken by BFF to help develop the curricula of UI. These undertakings will benefit UI to be on top of the latest knowledge and information on essential and critical skills in today's workplace.

BFF shall provide UI with instructional support such as career talks/symposiums, company visits, and webinars for a more holistic approach to preparing the students as they embark on the professional world. These activities will provide students with a venue to learn, meet, and interact with industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals.
