The Meralco Power Academy (MPA), the training arm of electricity provider Meralco, has partnered with the National Transmission Corporation (TransCo) to help strengthen the skills and knowledge of workers in the Philippine power industry.
Leaders from both organizations recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to work together on creating and running training programs for energy professionals. These programs will include short courses, skills development initiatives, and talent-building efforts to support continuing education and professional growth in the sector.
TransCo President Fortunato Leynes described the partnership as a major step forward for the industry and thanked MPA for its support. He also praised TransCo’s Human Resource Management and Development Division, led by VP Maria Theresa Laranang, for its work in improving employee skills.
Through this partnership, the two organizations will share knowledge and resources on important topics like power distribution and other key areas in the energy sector.
Meralco Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Ronnie L. Aperocho, who also serves as MPA President, said the collaboration highlights the shared commitment of both companies to innovation and workforce development.
“This partnership brings together TransCo’s nationwide mission and MPA’s expertise in training. It’s a powerful combination that can help improve the country’s energy reliability, resilience, and workforce capabilities,” Aperocho said.| – Balikas.net
