SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
Supporting SDG 8: "Decent Work and Economic Growth," 15% of UM students engage in work placements, gaining essential skills for employment. Policies ensure fair wages, pay equity, and anti-discrimination, while benefits include maternity/paternity leave, tuition waivers, and performance incentives. Grievance mechanisms and union support promote workplace harmony and industrial peace. Students also benefit from opportunities like the Ayala Young Leaders Congress, enhancing employability and professional networks. These efforts demonstrate UM’s commitment to fostering decent work, economic growth, and equitable opportunities for both employees and students, contributing to sustainable development and community empowerment.
