4 scholars to receive training from Hyundai Accelerate initiative

Some four from Pasig City will receive skills development training under Hyundai Accelerate.

Hyundai Motor Philippines (HMPH) shared in a statement that the scholars are set to undergo a 12-month Industrial Skills Training Program under Don Bosco Makati’s Technical-Vocational Education and Training curriculum.

The said program will comprise of an eight-month classroom-based and practical lessons, as well as a four-month on-the-job training at a Hyundai service center. Students who will go through the curriculum will be evaluated through quarterly and midterm progress reports, which will determine the possibility of their employment with HMPH's dealer partners.

Spearheading the agreement signing ceremony were HMPH President Dong Wook Lee, Managing Director Cecil Capacete, Chief Finance Officer Hong Shik Chin, Pasig City Mayor Victor Ma. Regis Sotto, Vice Mayor Robert Vincent Jude Jaworski Jr., as well as Councilors Mark Gil Delos Santos, and Corazon Raymundo.

Lee expressed gratitude for the collaboration with the local government of Pasig.

“We thank the City Government of Pasig for allowing us to support as well as be one of the contributors of its Five-Point Agenda, specifically the “Education” pillar. Together, let us look after our youth – pave the way for their access to quality training and resources which will help lead them to becoming well-rounded employed individuals,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sotto stated his vision for the city by empowering its people.

“One of the things we always discuss to level up the field of education here is the job skills matching. We need to really develop a framework for the multiple pathways that a child or a person can have towards a better career and a better life,” the City mayor shared.

He continued, “At the end of the day, the number one thing we are concerned about and we are trying to do is to equally give people a chance to a better chance and a better future. We’re very thankful for the partnership with Hyundai Motor Philippines because we see that this is precisely the way to go. Not just to give the students scholarships and extend help, but also to give them a guaranteed future,” Sotto added.

To note, the Hyundai Accelerate program is HMPH’s cooperation with Don Bosco Makati and Department of Education Taguig and Pateros (DepEd TAPAT).

Under the said collaboration, 40 students from Metro Manila will be enrolled in the program for 2023. The first 10 will be picked by DepEd TAPAT, 15 by the Pasig City government, and another 15 by the Quezon City government.
