Congratulations Graduates!

It's graduation month again! It's time to leave our alma mater and start a new stage in our lives... and that means looking for a job!

Lucky for us UA&P students, our market value in the different industries (especially the advertising industry) is pretty high. But there's another school out there, where its graduates get hired even before graduation. And you've guessed it right! It's DualTech Philippines!!

Last March 1, at UA&P's very own Dizon Auditorium, another surreal graduation of Dualtech was held. Excitement filled the air as the graduates and their proud parents awaited for the ceremony to begin. Dualtech teachers couldn't be happier as they saw their students' dreams being fulfilled. The students' hard work was definitely worth it and has finally paid off.

Not only were the students, parents and teachers happy, even the big names in the industry were happy! Honda and Isuzu have a new reason to be happy because they know that the newest members of their team are excellent, skilled, dedicated and virtuous workers!

Cheers to all the Dualtech graduates! More power to Dualtech!

Flying High with Lufthansa

Entertain yourselves with these videos from Luftansa:

UA&P students are very much familiar with Lufthansa... some may have already enjoyed a ride on these great airplanes as they went on numerous trips to Europe, while others dare to dream that someday, they will be able to ride the airwaves with Lufthansa. 

But did you dear reader, especially the UA&P students, we, the more fortunate ones, the ones who are well-off, ever think about who made our trips to different countries through Lufthansa (and maybe other airlines too) possible?

It's the graduates of Dualtech that make our trips  all over the world comfortable, safe, and possible. These students work hard to make sure that the passengers, like the UA&P students, are safe and enjoy the most of their trips abroad. These students are passionate about doing things right and making things happen the right way, tirelessly making sure that the people who will use the airplanes they helped create, will have their memorable and enjoyable trips.  

The reason why Lufthansa Teknik Philippines loves hiring Dualtech Graduates is simply because of their great work ethics. They put what Dualtech has instilled in them (virtue and work) into practice.

So now, whenever you ride the airplanes of Lufthansa, always think about the people who made your trip possible: Dualtech Graduates!

Tell us, how did you find your most recent airplane ride? :D

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?
