Aboitiz Construction signed a partnership agreement with Metrologyx on Nov. 12, 2024 at the Metrologyx Training and Assessment Center (METACCI) in Minglanilla, Cebu.
The collaboration is part of the company’s Skills Training towards Employment Program (STEM), supported by Aboitiz Foundation Inc. and aims to provide free training to 12 Cebu residents through the METACCI.
Aboitiz Construction senior assistant vice president for business transformation Karmine Andrea Ching and senior assistant vice president for people and corporate shared services Raizza Manuel signed the agreement with METACCI training manager Quincy Ladera and director Richelle Figueroa.
Funded by Aboitiz Construction, METACCI will offer the Millwright course— a specialized qualification in plant maintenance that is vital in many industrial sectors.
The course is one of the few training initiatives that address the growing demand for skilled maintenance workers in the country.
Upon completion of the training, participants will earn a certificate of completion in Millwright, significantly improving their chances of securing employment in various construction and maintenance projects.
“We are committed to empowering individuals through skills development, and this program is one of the ways we aim to provide gainful employment to those who are eager to help their families and contribute to the nation’s growth,” said Karmine Andrea Ching of Aboitiz Construction.
The initiative reflects Aboitiz Construction’s commitment to empowering individuals through education and training, equipping them with skills that support their long-term career success.
Aboitiz Construction is the privately-held construction company of the Aboitiz Group, with over 40 years of nationwide track record in heavy industries, light industries, infrastructure and industrial maintenance.
