Some of the activities of the group also include maintaining the 'sustainability' for the academies of its IT education and workforce development programs.

Sulit said schools are taught revenue-generating measures using their donated IT facilities to sustain their IT courses. One of the basic ways taught was to make use of the facilities as Internet cafes.

On workforce development, the groups help the students get jobs by launching job fairs, networking skills competitions, and discussion groups that talk about job options and training.

Sulit said in support of initiatives of the CNAP Core Council of the Philippines (C3P), a job fair last March was held at the Meralco Foundation Institute in Pasig City participated in by more than 500 Networking Academy Program students. The fair was mostly attended by popular call centers like Accenture, People Support, Sykes, and Convergys.
