The Career and Placement Office and the Admissions and Grants Office, in partnership with the SSC Centennial Committee, organized an event that was first in the history of SSC – the Centennial Career and Admissions Fair at the Glorietta.

For the first time, the annual Job Fair was taken out of the school to a public place and undertaken solo by SSC.  The venue was the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati on February 4, 2006.  
 

Preparations started early in July with conceptualization and brainstorming by the three officers and went full blast from November to January.  The final stage of preparations was in the form of company briefing held at St. Scholastica's College last January 27 to orient the fifty-three (53) participating companies. 

On the day of the event, one could feel s/he were in St. Scho territory because of the profusion of material that dominated the activity center: a huge dome banner spanning 60 feet, a ten-panel exhibit on SSC and the centennial, the Admissions Office occupying a prominent space along the walkway, centennial memorabilia booths at strategic places and the name, seal and logo of SSC emblazoned in large banners in every single space circling the activity center and lining the walkway. The St. Scholastica's Alumnae Foundation Inc. (SSAFI) also participated a memorabilia booth in the persons of past presidents Mrs. Ma. Asuncion Azcuna, Ms. Ampy Lim and Mrs. Cecile Gutierrez.

The day started with the entrance of colors and an opening prayer led by Sr. Angeline Arceo, OSB of the College Campus Ministry Office.  Following the opening remarks of
Sr. Angelica Leviste, OSB, SSC President, representatives from each of the three units showcased their talents much to the delight of their families as well as the hundreds of spectators gathered. The Grade School Unit was represented by the Rhythmizettes, the High School Unit’s HS Glee Club rendered songs that were a prelude to their upcoming concert and the College unit with a performance from the School of Music students.  The entertainment ended with a surprise upbeat number from the College Pep Squad.

 After the presentation, the Centennial Career and Admissions Fair was formally opened by Sr. Angelica Leviste, OSB as President of SSC and Mrs. Louie Agnir-Paraan as Chair of the Centennial Committee who cut the ceremonial ribbons. The Job fair was not only open to the Scholasticans but also to the public much to the satisfaction of the companies present. The group was then ushered to Gerry's Grill for a sumptuous appreciation lunch hosted by both the Career and Placement Office and the Admissions and Grants Office in honor of the top administrators of the school and their sponsors as well.

 The Career and Placement Office would like to thank the following sponsors: Jobstreet.com, the Official Job Site Partner, PLDT, the Official Internet Provider, Goodwill Bookstore, our Partner; Platinum sponsors Accenture and Convergys and Ayala Malls. n
