Whether we admit it or not, many of us dream of a bright future for ourselves and our families. No matter what are status is in life, dreaming of this future is what drives most of us to strive harder in whatever we do. Hyundai understands this, which is why it has unveiled the Hyundai Dream Center Philippines.
Launched last April 10, 2018 at the Hyundai Logistics Center in Calamba, Laguna, the HDCP is a state-of-the-art vocational training facility that caters specifically to those underprivileged yet deserving students. It aims to uplift vocational training in the Philippine automotive industry.
The Hyundai Dream Center Philippines is a joint effort by Hyundai Asia Resources Inc., Hyundai Motor Group, and humanitarian organization Plan International. The Philippine center is the first time that the Hyundai Motor Group teamed up with a local distributor. It has, however, put up such centers in Ghana, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
During the launch, officials from the three major stakeholders were joined by local government officials and other dignitaries. Students who will undergo training were also in attendance, receiving inspirational messages from key officials such as HARI President and CEO Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo.
With the launch of the Hyundai Dream Center Philippines, HARI not only hopes to fulfill the dreams of deserving individuals but also aims to improve the quality of the country’s automotive sector.
