Foton, Pampanga Manpower Training Center partner for 6-month training program

Foton Motor Philippines, Inc. (FMPI) recently inked a partnership with Pampanga Manpower Training Center (PMTC) in the company’s bid to initiate quality vocational education and competent skills.

This endeavor provides deserving citizens new sets of skills through a six-month training program as scholars of the Foton Academy. “These enrollees will receive top-rated education without paying for tuition fees or miscellaneous expenses,” the country’s distributor of Foton vehicles claimed in a statement.

“We are driven to advance the skills of our fellowmen and aspire to be enablers of strong mobility, which is how we aim to empower Filipinos through Foton Academy,” FMPI President Rommel Sytin was quoted as saying.

FMPI shared that the first batch of vocational scholars recently completed the course; cultivated expertise as well as experience in the field; and are now considered as Automotive Servicing National Certificate (NC) II-proficient. Aside from that, they are guaranteed to be employed at the FMPI Assembly Plant at the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga.

FMPI also sees the program — made in collaboration with the PMTC and the Pampanga Provincial Government — as a “long-term solution in combating the depleting employment rate due to setbacks brought about by the pandemic.”

“Aligned with the commitment of Foton to support the growth and development of the economy and of the manufacturing industry, the company spearheaded an array of corporate social projects during the pandemic as a step forward for national and local development as well as for the welfare of the citizens,” FMPI concluded.
