Isuzu PH bolsters ties with JZGMSAT anew

Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has renewed its alliance forged with Jacobo Z. Gonzales Memorial School of Arts and Trade (JZGMSAT).

After signing the agreement for the partnership, IPC President Tetsuya Fujita and IPC Executive Vice President Shojiro Sakoda led the turned over of the new four-post lifter with wheel aligner, and one Isuzu D-Max to Technical Education and Skills Development Authority-Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon(TESDA CALABARZON) Regional Director Baron Jose Lagran and JZGMSAT Vocational School Administrator Benito Reyes.

“It’s been six years since we started this partnership, and the continuous collaboration between IPC and JZGMSAT says a lot about the importance and sustainability of this program. More than the equipment we provided, it’s the culture of knowledge sharing that’s more important, for us to be able to share with them our expertise on Diesel Engine Technology, so the trainees can have more advantage when they graduate,” Fujita said

.

To note, the IPC-JZGMSAT connection began in 2017. Through the collaboration, the Japanese automotive firm’s local arm was able to donate desktop computers, mock-up diesel engines and two units of automotive lifters that are still being utilized by the school’s service mechanic trainees during their practical classes up to this day.

Similar to the Auto Mechanic school in Tacloban, IPC also included in the MOA specialized training program covering topics like Diesel Engine Technology, Common Rail Fuel System and Engine Management System as part of the company’s knowledge-sharing initiatives.

“We are very thankful to Isuzu Philippines for their continuous support to our vocational school. The equipment and technical training that they provide to us are all very beneficial in improving the competency of our trainees. This will truly help them in their practical classes and prepare them for real world scenarios,” Reyes was quoted as saying.

In a press statement, IPC noted that the latest corporate social responsibility initiative — out of all the similar programs made over the years around the country — is close to their heart. “We truly believe in the power of education, this is something we can give to the younger generation and hope that it will be able to change their lives in the future,” Fujita added.

Through programs like the aforementioned, future mechanics that has undergone proper training would be better equipped with the right set of knowledge to attend to the needs of their would-be customers.
