Sixty-three maritime senior high school
students from Santiago Syjuco Memorial
Integrated Secondary School (Malabon
City) and Ismael Mathay Sr. High School
(Quezon City) attended online and
face-to-face training from PHILCAMSAT,
PTC’s training arm, through the Work
Immersion Program funded by the TK
Foundation.

The students are part of the second
batch of trainees under the program,
with the first batch completing their
training earlier this year and are now
pursuing further maritime studies with
some already preparing to work
onboard.

The program consists of a 5-day online training,
2-day face-to-face instruction, and a virtual tour of a
ship. The trainees were given access to PHILCAMSAT’s
simulator facilities in Makati and the Mast campus in
Maragondon. Health and safety protocols were strictly
observed in the delivery of the training.

The Work Immersion Program is a project between
PHILCAMSAT and the TK Foundation and aims to
provide educational assistance to less privileged
students who wish to pursue a future in the maritime
industry.
