The country's number one finance super app, GCash, and largest convenience store chain in the world, 7-Eleven recently sealed an alliance with Mapúa Malayan Digital College or MMDC in a bid to create greater educational and career development opportunities for working students in the country.
The partnership between MMDC and 7-Eleven will lead to the creation of a scholarship program for non-graduate 7-Eleven employees.
