The activity aimed to guide Senior High School students in exploring possible college programs and career options while helping them make informed, purpose-driven decisions about their future. Through program presentations and interactive discussions, students gained a deeper appreciation of the wide range of academic offerings available at ̽����ѡ.

This recruitment activity is one of the initiatives of the Student Recruitment under the Office of Institutional Advancement (OIA), conducted in collaboration with the ̽����ѡ SHS Guidance Services Center. It forms part of a comprehensive recruitment program that includes school visits in Iloilo City and Iloilo Province, Western Visayas, Palawan, and Mindanao, as well as an online career exploration program via Zoom for students who are unable to attend on-site activities.

To conclude the activity, students were strongly encouraged to take the ̽����ѡ College Aptitude Test (̽����ѡCAT) as an important step toward becoming a Centralian.

The SRO likewise invites other prospective students, including those from outside Iloilo and nearby provinces, to take the ̽����ѡCAT either on campus or through scheduled off-campus examinations and special testing arrangements (online ̽����ѡCAT for students abroad and students residing outside Western Visayas).
