Globe, VisMin HEIs partner for student skills devt
GLOBE has partnered with 15 schools and universities across the Visayas and Mindanao to empower youth through exposure to the corporate world, promoting environmental sustainability, and improving digital access and literacy.
“Globe is dedicated to providing the youth of Visayas and Mindanao with the tools and knowledge necessary for their future success. We aim to create a nurturing environment that fosters learning, innovation and responsible digital citizenship. This effort is a reflection of our commitment to caring for the communities we serve and ensuring that students are equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow,” Globe Vice President for External Affairs Patrick Gloria said.
The Globe Hashira industry-academe program is structured around three core pillars: Atin ang Opportunity, Atin ang Sustainability and Atin ang Connectivity. Each pillar is designed to address different aspects of student development.
Atin ang Opportunity provides students with direct exposure to the corporate world across various industries, such as engineering and business, allowing them to gain insights from accomplished leaders and apply their knowledge in real-world settings. In addition, the Training Laboratory component allows hands-on learning on the latest telecom technology.
This comprehensive approach ensures that students get both theoretical learning and practical experience, giving them better preparation for their chosen careers.
Meanwhile, Atin ang Sustainability emphasizes Globe’s dedication to creating a sustainable future through environmental conservation, community intervention, education and skills training. A highlight of this pillar is the Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP), which educates students, teachers and parents on the impact of online behavior and promotes safe and responsible internet use.
Atin ang Connectivity focuses on enhancing internet access and digital literacy. By improving wired and wireless connectivity on campuses and introducing innovative solutions such as seamless payment through GCash and online consultations via KonsultaMD, Globe is committed to bridging the digital divide and enriching the educational experience of students.
Globe’s partners under the Hashira program are the Cebu Institute of Technology University, Cebu Technological University, Central Philippines University, La Salle University Ozamiz, Mapua Malayan Schools Mindanao, Mindanao State University (Marawi), Unibersidad de Zamboanga, University of Mindanao (UM) Baganga, UM Davao, UM Digos, UM Mati, UM Panabo, UM Tagum, University of San Carlos and University of the Philippines Iloilo.
The project signifies Globe’s ongoing effort to support Filipino students, reinforcing its mission to contribute positively to their development and the broader community.
By integrating technology, education and sustainability initiatives, Globe and its partner institutions are setting a strong foundation for the future of the Filipino youth, it said.
“Our engagement with 15 academic institutions across Visayas and Mindanao is a testament to our commitment to empowering the youth. By offering students direct access to practical knowledge and insights from accomplished corporate leaders, and opportunities for skills development and career exploration, we prepare them not just for the jobs of today but for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow,” Globe Senior Manager and Regional HR Business Partner Aldwin Mahusay said.
