Focus Global Inc. celebrated its 25th anniversary by granting full scholarships to 25 students of Mandaluyong Manpower and Technical Vocational Training Center, a TESDA-accredited government institution under the office of the City Mayor of Mandaluyong. 

Considering that the company’s business expertise is in the field of home furnishing,  10 students in Carpentry Course and 15 students in Ref & Aircon Technology Course were chosen as recipients of the scholarship grants, some of them are persons with disability (PWD).

“I am happy to turn over 25 scholarships to the young people of Mandaluyong because Focus Global’s very first office 25 years ago was located in this city  and we still have that showroom on Pioneer to this day. This is our way of giving back to the city where we started,” says Focus Global President Stephen Sy. 

The official turnover held recently at the Atrium Executive Building at Mandaluyong Municipal Hall and was graced by Congresswoman Queenie Gonzales, Mandaluyong Mayor Menchie Abalos, the city Councilors of Mandaluyong, and some of coordinators and trainors from the Mandaluyong Manpower and Technical Vocational Training Center.

Focus Global aims to provide educational and employment opportunities to the scholars by giving full financial support to the students who wish to learn and hone technical skills and earn gainfully from them.  Upon graduation, the scholars will be given the option to join the workforce of Focus Global, Inc. Should they choose otherwise, they are free to pursue and flourish their careers in a workplace of their choice.

On its 25th year, the company partnered with Mandaluyong Manpower and Technical-Vocational Training Center (Welfareville Compound), the largest settlement for the indigent and marginalized residents of the city. 

This training center caters to less fortunate youth and adults who aspire educational achievement and work opportunities.

“We are happy to support Mandaluyong Manpower and Technical Vocational Training Center.  This initiative is very meaningful to us because training people/employees and helping them reach their potentials is one of our core values.  We look forward to seeing the students’ growth, from studying to gainful employment,” Sy adds.
