The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) is eyeing to expand its program aimed at familiarizing future engineers to the local energy industry.
NGCP said in a statement it continues to hold facility tours for university students from different parts of the country to help “mold and develop” the next generation of engineers.
The company said it recently completed tours in various facilities with participating universities including the Tarlac State University at the Mexico substation; Batangas State University at the Laoag substation; University of Nueva Caceres at the Naga substation; Mindanao State University-General Santos City Campus at the Toril substation; University of the East-Recto at the Bauang substation; and Mindanao State University-Marawi Campus at the Baloi substation.
NGCP expects to conduct more facility tours for university students in the coming months.
More than 400 engineering students have participated in the facility tours that include a walkthrough of NGCP’s substation operations as well as presentations on its role and contribution to the power industry.
“We are more than happy to host young minds at our facilities so they can see for themselves the everyday operations of NGCP. Understanding the importance of power transmission in the energy system and how NGCP contributes to the country’s economic development is important to understanding the energy industry,” NGCP said in a statement.
The company added the program is also meant to showcase the capability of its engineers and other technical staff and serve as a guidance for future engineers.
