For sure, some of my readers knew at least a person who is either studying or having difficulty in finding a job fit for his/her I.T.-related course especially when you are not from a known or reputable school, well that was one of the visions of StackTrek
Led by it's founder Billy Yuen, they created StackTrek which is a venture-backed global people analytics company with their offices in HK and here in the Philippines. Their vision is every graduate with IT knowledge must be a ready for a career and for the global economy. In fact, one of their first ventures when they went to various IT students in Iloilo and successfully brought those employers and companies and bring those jobs there instead of probably the route of those kids, to fly to Metro Manila and seek for a job in the metropolis.

In line with their mission, they are building up for one of the first e-sports in the country but for coders named Stack League this August 3 to 4, 2019. They are accepting up to 1,054 participants either a fresh grad or has been years of expertise in IT and they welcome whatever programming language that you know. It's a cool move especially that sometimes that we are watching statt-up competitions in between.
You can more of this as well for their initiatives at www.stacktrek.com or thru their StackTrek Facebook page`
Here are the official press releases from both Stacktrek and Stack League:

StackTrek: Bringing Equality in Programming Education and Employment
The Philippines is the world’s number two IT outsourcing destination, yet a majority of programming students are not “hireable” in tech jobs. Serial entrepreneur Billy Yuen saw this gap and formulated a solution: a way to bring equal opportunities in tech education and employment, and a bridge for Filipinos from poverty to middle-class jobs.
StackTrek is a venture-backed global people analytics company, with offices in Hong Kong and APAC headquarters in the Philippines. The company boasts of deep expertise and propriety technologies in assessing, analyzing, and improving programmer capability – enabling the Filipino graduate to be competitive in the 4th industrial revolution.
StackTrek has an ambitious agenda: that every student should graduate armed with career-ready IT knowledge. After all, no other subject can open doors in the 21st century like programming.The company has plans touching on tech education, economic development, equality, and inclusiveness. Currently, StackTrek is working with the government to bring universal programming education to the entire nation.
StackTrek, a People Analytics Company, is umbrella to three brands:
StackED is providing tech platform for education, bias-free skills assessment, and talent improvement to universities and schools.
