UP Cebu inIT Comms Intern role

UP Cebu inIT?

It's a Technology Business Incubator. So imagine an incubator for premature babies: Outside of an incubator, that baby might not survive. inIT wants to be the same for IT businesses. It provides early stage IT companies the following:

  • 24/7-access office spaces at below-market rates
  • business mentoring
  • training
  • access to consultants (business and technical)
  • access to UP talent (faculty and students)

The goal is to encourage UP faculty and students to turn their research into products that can be commercialized, but we've since opened our doors to the broader Cebu IT Startup community. Although we do have locators (our name for these baby companies) that are run by UP alumni, and many locators employ UP students and alumni.

Right now, we are a staff of 6:

  • JJ Lumagbas, Incubator Manager
  • Joseph Librero, Program Manager
  • Girlee Palma, Operations Staff
