On Values...

Values are lost these days. We hear news about being unethical in their jobs and towards other people. But then, we all know that values formation is really important in our lives.

Despite the fact that students of DualTech have a lot of extensive things to do, DualTech really pays attention to values formation through having classes focusing on it. During their free time, students of DualTech don’t waste their time—they practice serving at mass at their chapel. No wonder these students value every time and value their work at their heavy-duty work stations.

Mission Possible!

In our last post, we talked about Dualtech's mission. Now, we will talk about how that mission is being fulfilled!

It's interesting how Dualtech started out as a social development program to help alleviate poverty in the Philippines. And for 2 decades, they have continuously tried to help alleviate poverty in the Philippines by providing vocational education to high school graduates. These male high school graduates come from poor families, and are given a scholarship or assistance. And as seen in the past few posts, these students get to be employed even before they graduate!

In other words, DualTech helps others help themselves. As the famous Chinese Proverb says:

“Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.”

Getting to Know DualTech

Up until now, we haven't really blogged about what DualTech really is and what makes it so special from the rest of the vocational schools out there. So let's all get to know DualTech a little more!

DualTech is a private vocational school for boys. It's been around since 1982, and get this: it trains over a thousand scholars from the poor sectors of the country each year! Not only that, it has partnered up with several companies like Nestle Philippines, Honda Cars Philippines, Inc., and Boeing Material Handling Corporation. Partnering with such big companies only means that the students get employed upon graduation!

So what makes DualTech different from the rest? DualTech students are trained to be skilled workers with personal formation. These students not only know how to work, they work with work ethics. Thus, when they get employed, the DualTech students bring to the company the culture of excellence they acquired from their Alma Mater. Pretty cool huh?

And that in a nutshell is DualTech! What do you think would the Philippines be like if DualTech never existed?
