Hyundai Motor PH Teams Up with Don Bosco Technical Institute and DepEd TAPAT for 'Hyundai Accelerate'

MANILA: Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) has established a partnership with Don Bosco Institute of Makati (DBIM) and Department of Education Taguig City and Pateros (DepEd TAPAT) for Hyundai Accelerate, an educational program dedicated to providing disadvantaged youth with opportunities in the automotive industry.

The official agreement signing ceremony involving the three parties was held on June 27.

"At Hyundai Motor, we have a strong commitment to give back to society. This is rooted from our brand vision of ‘Progress for Humanity’ wherein we believe that mobility is more than going from one place to another, rather connecting people with quality time and enabling them to get more out of life, leading us to forming Hyundai Accelerate," says HMPH President Dongwook Lee stated.

"It is our grassroots scholarship program dedicated to providing Filipino senior high school graduates an opportunity for further studies. This project is a special one, as it not only cultivates teaching moments, but more importantly, uplifts the lives of our future mentees, let alone, our first major CSR ad hoc as HMPH. So, we look forward to meeting our first batch of scholars and becoming a part of their journey," he added.

Founded in 1954, DBIM offers Technical-Vocational Education and Trainings (TVET) that produce graduates who are certified to work as automobile mechanic, general electrician, fitter machinist, refrigeration and air-conditioning mechanic, or industrial electronics. Its campus at Chino Roces Avenue in
Makati City will be the venue of the training of the students under the Hyundai Accelerate program.

40 students from Metro Manila will be enrolled in the program this year. The first 10 will be chosen by DepEd TAPAT, 15 will be endorsed by the local government unit of Pasig City, and the remaining 15 will be nominated by the local government unit of Quezon City.

Hyundai Accelerate aims to transform Filipino youth into holistic professionals by  giving  them access to quality technical education. It also demonstrates the brand's commitment as an after-sales provider.

The program includes an eight-month classroom-based and practical lessons, as well as a four-month on-the-job training (OJT) at a Hyundai  service center. The students' knowledge and skills will be evaluated through quarterly and midterm progress reports, which will also determine the possibility of their employment with HMPH's dealer partners.
