On November 16, 2023, Saint Therese Catholic School, Inc. hosted a career orientation. This was made possible by the Office of Student Affairs and Guidance working with the Association of Career Guidance and Orientation Professionals (ACGOP) in Cavite. Students from senior high school as well as representatives from other Cavite colleges and universities attended the event.

Ms. Charlenne G. Roque, the OSA Coordinator, made her opening remark. She highlights in her speech the collaboration effort between many institutions, which will aid in providing students with fresh information as they set out on their exploration and discovery trip.

Additionally, Mr. Raymond Go, the ACGOP's marketing supervisor, introduces the various member schools—De La Salle University Dasmariñas, De La Salle Medical Health and Sciences Institute, National College of Science and Technology IIRT, PNTC Colleges Dasmariñas, Rogationist College, University of Perpetual Help Molino Campus, FEU Cavite, NU Dasmariñas, STI Dasmariñas, and Emilio Aguinaldo College—through an AVP.

Furthermore, the program featured the school's AVP throughout each introduction, showcasing its laboratories and facilities, faculty and staff, several events and activities, training, and hands-on demonstrations that aided in the students' learning. They then gave an overview of their scholarship programs and various program offerings. 

Following their presentation, the students participated in an open forum where they asked questions about the cost of tuition, athlete membership and scholarships, and on-campus dormitories.

A raffle draw was done as the event was coming to a close to give away various prizes that the association had prepared.

In his final remarks, guidance advocate Mr. Neil Franco E. Abad emphasized the value of career orientation in helping students make decisions about their future careers. This is because career orientation gives them a broad range of options to consider when choosing a college or university.
