Assistant Vice President for Human Resources Antonio Jacomina III culminated the talks by talking about what to expect as they begin deciding their next steps for their career, and how Primer Group can support them in the future, such as through the company’s internship program. 

To culminate the activity, students toured Primer Group’s newest office building, WorkPlays. They were fortunate to be joined by Primer Group Managing Director Jerry Sy, who happily mingled with the students and shared some words of wisdom. He also highlighted how the WorkPlays building reflects Primer Group’s care for the environment.
