History

Joji lIagan Career Centre Foundation, Inc. was founded in 1982 by businesswoman and educator Purita Arsenia "Joji" Ilagan, [2] in a four-classroom facility in Anda Street (now F. Iñigo Street), Davao City. Joji Ilagan studied at the Immaculate Conception College (now University of the Immaculate Conception) and became the grade school valedictorian and high school salutatorian. At 16, she became an academic scholar at the University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. After recently graduating with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Administration at the University of the Philippines Diliman, she thought of putting up a vocational school that would give holistic training and was capable of meeting the demand of the job market at that time. [1] [3]

The school eventually moved to its current location in Governor Chavez Street, Davao City and established vocational programs such as Computer Secretarial, Dressmaking, and Hotel and Restaurant Management. As it grew it eventually offered baccalaureate and vocational courses in Hotel and Restaurant Management and Tourism Management.

In 2009, JIB established the first culinary school in Mindanao, the Institute of International Culinary and Hospitality Entrepreneurship or ICHEF. [4] It initially offered a 2-year diploma program in Culinary in partnership with Technical and Further Education (TAFE) of New South Wales Western Sydney Institute. [5] Later on, it also opened a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Culinary Management, being one of the few schools in the Philippines offering the said degree program.

In 2010, JIB expanded further into General Santos as it opened the Joji Ilagan International School of Hotel and Tourism Management. It initially offered culinary programs and later HRM and tourism programs. [6]

The Joji Ilagan International Schools is composed of a network of exclusive schools based in Davao City and General Santos.
