This year, the Junior People Management Association of the Philippines will conduct its FIRST-ever virtual and joint 24th General Membership Meeting and 19th National Convention on November 26-28, 2021 to be held virtually with the theme of UNDIVIDED: Unity in Diversity Amidst Adversity.

The current upperclassmen, especially the incoming 4th years, have gone through a lot of challenges and obstacles: being the pioneers of the K-12 curriculum and system, and now, the COVID-19 pandemic. The common struggle has tested us but also fortified our resolve to pursue a shared goal: To graduate, become productive members of the workforce, and be able to contribute to nation-building. The theme wants to convey its message that no one, especially the JPMAPers, will be left behind during these times of adversity, which in unity there’s strength.

We want to continuously learn while having fun and keep pace with our colleagues in spite of challenges where we are all restricted.

Furthermore, the theme of the year’s JPMAP National Conference aims to highlight the role of JPMAP in building a strong foundation that will enable future People Manager to learn about the new trends in people management, and in embracing the various innovations brought by digital disruption. With this, we want to rise together – competitive, united and committed.

The National Conference has a huge number of delegates with a total of One Thousand (1,000) from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Not only the students have shown interest in learning about the event yet there are also Educators and Practitioners have registered in the 3-day event.
