EEI Inc., one of the country’s leading construction companies, said Thursday it is building a new Training Center that will offer various construction-related sessions and skills designed to prepare for the company’s upcoming domestic and overseas projects.
The EEI Training Center is expected to be completed by December 2024 and would accommodate up to 500 trainees. It will provide training for various types of welding at different skill levels, and for skills related to electro-mechanical and light industries such as those for structural fitters and steel workers, mechanical and pipe fitters, and building and industrial electricians.
In addition to construction-related skills training, the facility will also offer training sessions for engineers and staff of EEI on Supervisory Development Program, Engineering Development Crash Course, and Construction Project Management for Project Manager and Directors to provide or improve their supervisorial or managerial skills.
The creation of a training center, ilocated in Tanza, Cavite, is part of EEI’s post-pandemic recovery plan.
“To deal with the issues and challenges, we evaluated our operations, identified and addressed weak points, restructured and continued upskilling our workforce, and strengthened our stakeholder relations. EEI is committed to physically and figuratively build foundations for an inclusive and better tomorrow for our stakeholders—not just for our clients but also for our very own employees,” said Henry Antonio, EEI president and chief executive officer.
Around 20 percent of the manpower requirement, estimated to be at 500 people, will be initially trained in various disciplines at the EEI Training Center.
