TMP Tech conducts ASEAN-ROK vocational training program

Toyota Motor Philippines School of Technology (TMP Tech) is conducting the “Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Republic of Korea (ASEAN-ROK) Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Mobility Program.”

The institution shared in a statement that it has been selected to give quality training on automotive servicing to two batches of participants — with the first one made up of 21 students and four faculty members from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.

Per TMP, those who have joined the initial group are currently receiving TMP Tech’s Specialized Automotive Servicing course that covers the fundamentals of an engine, overhauling of gasoline and diesel engines, repairing manual and automatic transmission or transaxle, chassis, and the introduction of the hybrid electric vehicle system. On the other hand, the second batch will start next year.

 The goal of the program— which runs for three months (two months of in-school training, a one-month immersive internship at Toyota dealership partners) — is to “bridge the gap between demand and supply of priority vocational skills within the ASEAN region, with Automotive being among the five priority vocational skills, which also include Electrical and Electronics, Building Construction, Hospitality and Tourism, and Computer and Information Services.”

Further, TMP said that the ASEAN-ROK TVET Mobility Program — which is the product of its collaboration with the Department of Education, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industries — signifies a significant milestone in advancing automotive education and skills development in the ASEAN region.

“Through this partnership, TMP Tech aims to enrich the participants with industry-linked knowledge and skills required to excel in the automotive arena,” TMP explained.
