CEU and GAOC Forge Strategic Partnership to Elevate Dental Education and Careers
The Centro Escolar University (CEU) School of Dentistry has formalized a strategic partnership with the Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center (GAOC) Group of Companies. This collaboration aims to expand employment opportunities for CEU’s Escolarian Dentistry graduates and enhance related CEU programs, signaling a shared commitment to empowering students with practical, industry-aligned pathways.
Employment Opportunities and Integrated Career Support
One of the cornerstone benefits of the partnership is the creation of structured employment channels for CEU graduates. GAOC’s extensive network in the dental industry provides a direct pipeline to roles in dental implants, oral surgery, and related specialties. By aligning CEU’s curriculum with GAOC’s clinical and operational standards, graduates gain not only job prospects but also real-world experience that can accelerate professional growth after graduation.
Continued Education and Knowledge Exchange
The alliance includes a robust continuing education component through specialized talk series and expert-led sessions. CEU students and alumni will have access to high-quality seminars that reflect GAOC’s cutting-edge practices, ensuring that dental professionals stay abreast of the latest techniques, technologies, and patient-care strategies. This emphasis on lifelong learning mirrors CEU’s mission to produce competent, innovative clinicians who can adapt to evolving oral health needs.
Active Participation in Job Fairs and Career Events
GAOC will play an active role in CEU’s job fairs and career events, directly connecting students with potential employers and mentors. This engagement reinforces the university’s tradition of industry partnerships that enhance graduate employability, while giving GAOC early access to a pool of qualified, well-prepared applicants who share a commitment to excellence in dental care.
About GAOC: A Leader in Dental Innovation
Founded in 1998 by Dr. Steve Mark Gan, GAOC has established itself as a leading dental center in the Philippines. The organization is renowned for its advanced facilities, expertise in dental implants and oral surgery, and a steadfast focus on innovation and education. This partnership aligns CEU’s academic strengths with GAOC’s clinical prowess to deliver tangible benefits to students, graduates, and the broader dental community.
Commitment to The Escolarian Community
The signing ceremony, witnessed by CEU School of Dentistry Dean Dr. Mary Iodine Lacanienta and GAOC representatives led by Dr. Gan, underscored a shared dedication to the Escolarian community. By combining CEU’s rigorous training with GAOC’s real-world platforms, the collaboration aspires to create sustained value: meaningful employment, enhanced continuing education, and greater access to career development opportunities for dentistry graduates and related CEU programs.
Looking Ahead
As CEU and GAOC embark on this joint endeavor, both institutions emphasize ongoing evaluation and expansion. Future plans may include more頻structured internship pathways, interdisciplinary training, and expanding continuing education offerings to include emerging subspecialties in dentistry. The partnership reinforces a broader trend in higher education where universities collaborate with industry leaders to bridge classroom learning with practical, employment-ready skills.
