LISTED construction company EEI Corp. has inaugurated its three-hectare training facility in Cavite as part of its strategy to enhance workforce skills.
“The academy reflects our vision to not only attract the best talent, but also to nurture and retain them. EEI will continue to drive change and improvement in the Philippine construction industry by providing necessary training to elevate the skills of our workforce,” EEI Training Academy President Jesus Teodoro C. Reyes said in a statement on Wednesday.
EEI described the training academy as a strategic initiative designed to boost skills and knowledge of its workforce while also supporting capacity-building programs that enhance its capability to deliver projects.
The training facility can accommodate 500 participants, EEI said, adding that it offers training and development to ensure that workers and professional staff stay competent.
The training academy is also a Technical Education and Skills Development Authority-accredited facility.
EEI said that it will also integrate a non-construction-related training program aside from the technical training and upskilling program being offered at the academy.
EEI is primarily engaged in the construction of power-generating facilities, oil refineries, chemical production plants, rails, ports, expressways, and high-rise towers.
At the local bourse on Wednesday, shares in the company gained five centavos, or 2.30%, to end at P2.22 apiece. — Ashley Erika O. Jose
