To See is to Believe

The referral or suggestion of one foundation to another, bears fruit that benefited students from Tacloban.

When the Consuelo Foundation learned about a visit of Dualtech to Tacloban, they invited Streetlight to come over to check what Dualtech could offer. That was the first encounter of Streetlight with Dualtech. Three staff from Streetlight attended the orientation and they were amazed with the values formation that a trainee could inherit. Streetlight was also convinced of the platform of being employed after two years of studies.

“Angelicum Foundation gave  me a chance to continue my studies which, I thought, would just be a dream.” -- Celso Aguaviva, Scholar

Engr. Andy Malihan, one of Dualtech mentors, introduced Angelicum Foundation to Dualtech. The Angelicum Foundation is the CSR arm of the Ortoll Group of Companies. Last May 2016, Mr. Jorge Ortoll, a majority stockholder of Ortoll Group of Companies visited Dualtech and was able to witness students in action and the facilities. Interviewing students, he saw their determination to continue their education. The resolve of each student mattered a lot to the Ortoll’s.

I was given another chance to change my life - scholar

In 2015, Lao Foundation gave educational assistance to 20 Dualtech scholars from Camarines Norte, Abra, and Ilocos Sur. After this batch, LFI added support to 20 scholars from Romblon, Surigao Del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya, Cebu, and Zambales.

Included as beneficiaries of LFI Scholarship grants is the first batch from Surigao City whose families were affected by the recent earthquake in  March 2017. The six scholars were recruited through the help of the coordinators from Saint Paul University.

After the graduation of SM Foundation's first batch from Tacloban City Leyte, another 100 Dualtech scholars were among 1,000 new beneficiaries in technical and vocational (Tech-Voc) education in 2016.

On September 04, 2016, SM Foundation invited partner technical schools on its first Tech-Voc general assembly in SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City. From its usual number of 100 scholars annualy, SM made it to 1,000 in 2016 as they believe that graduates of Tech-Voc get immediate jobs and have bigger opportunity to be uplifted from poverty. SM Group of Companies also sees great demand for skilled manpower in the country and abroad.

GT Foundation partnered with Dualtech Center for the Scholarship in Technical Vocational Education (STEP) Program.

On September 1, 2016, 25 scholars from Leyte and Bohol who were sponsored by GT Foundation were given Certificate of Recognition after completion of 6-Month Basic Training Program in Electromechanics Technology. These scholars were placed to Dualtech partners for the next phase of training where actual work exposure and advanced skills are to be provided.

“Enabling adult school dropouts to continue studying through Alternative Learning Centers.”

ALS is a parallel learning system that provides a practical option to the existing formal instruction. When one does not have or cannot access formal education in schools, ALS is an alternate or substitute. ALS includes both the non-formal and informal sources of knowledge and skills.

The Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation, enabled thousands of school dropouts to restart their education through 19 Alternative Learning Centers. These centers promote the Alternative Learning System (ALS). Some students who finished High School through ALS were given further opportunities by continuing their education in Dualtech.
