Korea’s Hanjin opens big Subic training center
By Elaine Ruzul S. Ramos - Manila Standard
Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction Co. opened over the weekend a P40-million modern training center in the Subic Bay Freeport.
“This training center is just one among the many good things that are happening in the Subic Freeport for the past six months and Hanjin will be the biggest shipyard in the country with a committed investment of more than $1 billion,” said Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority administrator Armand Arreza.
The facility will help boost the skills of prospective workers in the province.
Hanjin-Philippines managing director Myung Goo Kwon said a pool of qualified and competent manpower, which is remotely available in the country at the moment, was key to the success of the shipbuilding industry in the international market
Hanjin’s facility in Subic covers 349 hectares with total investments of $1 billion. The project expects to generate at least 15,000 new jobs in Subic.
Hanjin, the fifth largest shipbuilder in South Korea, said its investment in Subic was part of a global strategy to become competitive in the shipbuilding industry by expanding its operations overseas.
Kwon also expressed his gratitude for the support and attention extended by Subic municipal mayor Jeffrey Khonghun for hosting the construction of the shipyard facility project in the municipality’s coastal area in the Redondo Peninsula and allowing the use of the multi-purpose building for conversion into a temporary training center.
“Equipped with the most modern and qualified Korean instructors, the training center will be the cornerstone in developing and honing the skills of the Filipino trainees. It will transform regular, ordinary workers into qualified, skilled workers eligible to work in our shipyard,” Kwon said.
The training facility has three classrooms, 70 welding booths, one pipefitting room, four painting rooms and a large working area that can accommodate a maximum of 200 trainees and instructors
