The Education and Training Group,
headed by C/E Alfredo Haboc, QA and
Program Director of PHILCAMSAT, and
Engr. Marianne Camille Pastolero,
Education and Training Officer, visited
the Sisters of Mary School – Boystown, in
Silang, Cavite. This is in collaboration
with the Competency Development
Center, headed by C/E Joey Ryan
Abengona, Competency Development
Manager of PHILCAMSAT.

The visit was made to conduct an
orientation for eight sections,
comprised of more than 120 students,
regarding OJT opportunities for the
Grade 11 Senior High School (SHS)
students. The Engine Ratings Program
will be offered to Sisters of Mary
School students who will be
graduating Grade 12 this January
2024. The partnership aims to source
competent welders and machinists in
order to address the shortage of
Fitters onboard cargo vessels. The
selection process will begin in the last
quarter of 2023 and the students will
be drafted by the fourth quarter of
the same year, with a possible
deployment by early 2024.
