From Workshop to Workforce: MMPC Invests in Students’ Technical Development
Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corporation (MMPC) has formalized an agreement with leading state universities and key dealer partners to empower students and communities and strengthen Mitsubishi’s nationwide workforce through innovation and collaboration.
The contract signing ceremony, held at MMPC Training Center in Santa Rosa, Laguna last September, brought together representatives from MMPC, Laguna State Polytechnic University – San Pablo, Laguna, Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – San Fernando, La Union, Laguna State Polytechnic University – Santa Cruz, Laguna, and vehicle dealers Mizukawa Motors Corporation, Motorplaza, Inc., and JABEZ Motor Corporation.
Under the agreement, students will undergo an intensive, three-month technical training program at MMPC, with all expenses paid. Aside from lodging, meals, and transportation, they will also be provided with allowances, uniforms, and shoes.
The training will then continue with hands-on, on-the-job experience at a partner Mitsubishi dealership to apply their new skills in a real-world service environment.
In addition, MMPC donated training vehicles to the universities for educational purposes and committed to provide continuous technical training for their faculty and professors. MMPC also facilitated an exclusive plant tour for students, faculty members, and dealer staff for an inside look at its operations.
“More than building cars, we build careers,” said MMPC Chairman Noriaki Hirakata. “We are proud that we have produced talented students from this training program, where their passion has and will always be the driving force of tomorrow.”
