Chevron Philippines, Inc. (CPI) has partnered with Edukasyon.ph to provide cloud computing training and employment support to 40 disadvantaged Filipinos. This is Chevron’s first social investment program in the digital sphere.
In partnership with Edukasyon.ph, a social enterprise that utilizes online platforms to connect students with educational opportunities and foster career awareness, the program focuses on digital training and development of Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing skills and will benefit 40 AWS scholars.
“Chevron believes cloud computing literacy is pivotal in reshaping the future of aspiring Filipino professionals. This is another project that helps and supports the education and livelihood of disadvantaged people groups who do not have opportunities for mainstream learning,” said CPI corporate affairs manager Raissa Bautista.
The target beneficiaries are underprivileged, unemployed, and underemployed Filipinos, with focus on minorities, displaced individuals, and adopted community residents of Chevron. The recruitment and selection process will run from October to December 2023, with the training proper commencing next year.
During the training period, which will run for 12 weeks at 4 to 5 hours per day Mondays through Fridays, learners will gain technical and soft skills needed for entry-level to midlevel cloud computing roles.
The program will also provide trainees with professional skills training such as resume preparation and interview coaching to prepare them for employer meetings and job interviews.
