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.
