Graduate School<font style=\"font-weight: bold;\" size=\"5\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">Toyota Foundation awards scholarship to 5 students </span><br style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"></font>
REPRESENTATIVES of the Toyota Motor Philippines in Sta. Rosa, Laguna were at the College of Industrial Technology (CIT) Sept. 25-26 for the final screening and awarding of the second batch of recipients of their scholarship program.
Under the program, underprivileged youth are taught skills and provided training that would make them employable in the automotive industry, not just Toyota, upon graduation.
Mark Anthony Pasalo, Jeffrey Baluan, Bryan Agacaoili, Mark Pol Niño, and Edler Jun Cabil, all second year students of the industrial technology-major in automotive technology program, were chosen from among ten finalists for the scholarship. The Toyota Motor Philippines Foundation (TMPF) will assist the said students until they graduate in 2010. The scholarship covers free tuition and all other fees, book allowance of P2, 500 per semester, and a stipend of P1, 400 every month. The scholars are automatically employed by the company after their graduation. The scholars have to maintain a general weighted average of 2.5 but have to meet the grade requirement of 2.0 in their major subjects.
The lack of experts in automotive repair and maintenance that has long been plaguing the industry has moved the TMPF to provide a long-term solution through the scholarship program.
Ronald Gaspar, education sector head, and Dr. Laennec Baquiran, company physician and incidentally from Laoag City, during a courtesy call to OIC President S.C. Malab, said that the scholarship program has been benefiting not only the students but also Toyota Motor Philippines.
Fifteen vocational partner schools provide a pipeline of skilled, talented, and employable manpower to Toyota Motor Philippines and its network of dealers. The university and the Lingayen Technological Institute serve as partner schools in Region I.
Toyota supplies the engines and provides the training curriculum. The schools implement the curriculum and train the students. The company has already donated to CIT four engine trainers (two for gasoline and two for diesel) since the tie up in 2004. This year, they are expected to give additional tools to augment the training resources in the college.
Since the program was implemented, hundreds of the vocational scholars from all over the country have been employed by the Toyota network. The five scholars that composed the first batch assisted by the foundation and trained by CIT were automatically employed by Toyota Dagupan and Baguio after their graduation in April this year. In fact, one of them, Bobby Pedro Agustin, had been sent to Japan for further training.
Other graduates have either moved on to other careers or put up their own businesses, using training that they got through Toyota’s Youth Business Camps. Toyota believes that not all are meant for employment, thus, should be provided skills to enable them to go out on their own.
Aside from the students, CIT automotive technology faculty members have also been sent by the foundation for free training in dealership. They are also scheduled to go for industry immersion in the company’s Laguna plant.
