Construction firm EEI Corp. has opened a state-of-the-art training academy in Tanza, Cavite to enhance the construction skills and knowledge of the company’s workforce.
The EEI Training Academy can train up to 500 participants at a time and offers programs for both craft workers and professional staff.
The facility is part of a long-term strategy to build a more capable and sustainable workforce while improving project delivery.
Courses cover civil, mechanical, electrical and modular construction works, as well as welding and heavy equipment operation. Civil works training includes carpentry, masonry, tile setting and rebar works, while mechanical programs cover fitting, millwright services, tank fitting and structural steel works.
EEI Training Academy president Jesus Teodoro Reyes said the facility reflects the company’s vision to attract, nurture and retain talent.
“The academy reflects our vision to not only attract the best talent, but also to nurture and retain them. EEI will continue to drive change and improvement in the Philippine construction industry by providing necessary training to elevate the skills of our workforce,” Reyes said in a statement to the stock exchange Wednesday.
The academy will also offer non-technical programs, including supervisory development, safety courses, construction and project management and behavioral skills such as communication and decision-making.
The facility has been recognized as a Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)-accredited training and assessment center.
As an accredited center, the academy will follow national training regulations and competency standards to guarantee curriculum alignment with industry requirements and uniform evaluation techniques.
The facility also integrates values formation into its programs to improve workplace performance and employee well-being.
“We believe that values formation is an essential part of the EEI Training Academy that will ultimately lead to improved and better performance at work, harmonious relationships in the workplace, and an important element in developing the well-being of our employees,” Reyes said.
The campus includes administrative offices, lecture rooms, faculty areas, a chapel, training workshops, trainee barracks, and support facilities such as a warehouse and material recovery area.
