Security Bank Foundation, Don Bosco, and bank clients award Techvoc scholarship in Pampanga
IN its pursuit to provide better opportunities for underprivileged Filipino youth, the Security Bank Foundation, Inc. (SBFI) formalized a partnership with Security Bank clients Motech Automotive Educational Center and Sambon P&E Philippines, Inc., through the efforts of the Security Bank Clarkangeles and San Fernando branch, to provide technical vocational scholarships for 16 students of Don Bosco Academy Pampanga. The memorandum of agreement signing and official awarding of scholarship to beneficiary students happened last March 25, 2022.
Under the partnership, Don Bosco Academy will shoulder the tuition fee cost for the 10-month in-center training of scholars to equip them with the necessary technical skills before immersing them in the real world. “Don Bosco offers a technical vocational education program that teaches young people actual skills that will help them find work in the future”, says Fr.
Renato De Guzman, Rector of Don Bosco Academy Pampanga.
Security Bank Foundation will provide monthly transportation allowance to scholars while Security Bank clients Motech and Sambon will augment the support through additional allowances. Upon completion of the 15-month program, scholars are expected to gain Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) national certificates in Automotive Servicing and Electrical Installation and Maintenance. Motech and Sambon may also hire the scholars based on their on-the-job training performance.
“With this program, we hope to provide the students with industry-specific skills through our Bank clients and bring them closer to having secured employment opportunities upon their graduation and certification,” says Melissa Aquino, Trustee and Corporate Secretary of SBFI.
