In a bid to be prepared for the future, 54 Cebu college scholars supported by the Aboitiz Foundation and Aboitiz units Cebu Private Power Corporation, East Asia Utilities Corporation, Therma Visayas, Inc., and Visayan Electric Co, Inc. participated in a lecture series about emotional intelligence in the workplace.
The first Aboitiz College Scholars Learning Series held on Dec. 21, facilitated by Dr. Shiela Marie Hocson, former president of the Philippine Guidance and Counselling Association, tackled identifying one’s personality types and tendencies, personality assessment, and techniques and methods in coping up with emotionally stressful situations and environment.
The learning series is an initiative by the Aboitiz Foundation in its pursuit of scaling up projects by equipping its scholars with the essential skills needed in the corporate world. It is part of the Aboitiz Foundation College Scholarship Program, which has already supported 2,208 scholars in its thrust to advance business and communities.
