Fourteen automotive technicians trained by a Makati City-based facility were hired by three luxury car brands in Saudi Arabia to become part of the Kingdom’s economic recovery efforts from the Covid-19 pandemic. | ManilaBulletin
The technicians completed a two-year intensive, state-of-the-art Automotive Mechatronics program with specialization in high voltage at the Porsche Training and Recruitment Center - Philippines through an educational program of Porsche and the Don Bosco Technical Institute of Makati.
“We are proud of our graduates who have taken their first step toward a wonderful career in the automotive after-sales industry. They hurdled the challenges of looking for a fitting job opportunity at an unprecedented time, in the middle of a pandemic. I am convinced the competencies they’ve acquired in the program will help them overcome the challenges that come with their role as elite vehicle specialists," PTRC-PH Program Director Katrin Azul said.
Manzo and 23 other PTRC-PH graduates participated in a series of job interviews, written exam and practical tests on vehicle parts identification, diagnosis, and repair. According to Manzo, studying was no walk in the park as he had to juggle it with his part-time job as a fast-food chain service crew to make both ends meet. His family setup, along with poverty, left him with little choice but to live independently by the age of 15.
“That’s when I realized the possibility of shifting to automotive and landing a better chance to work at a global company like Porsche. Plus, I really love cars, so I decided to apply and take the opportunity,” Manzo added.
