MANILA, Philippines — Construction giant EEI Corp. has opened a state-of-the-art training facility in Cavite to elevate the skills and knowledge of its workforce.

The newly opened EEI Training Academy will also support capacity-building programs that enhance the company’s ability to deliver projects efficiently and sustainably.

The training facility, spanning three hectares, can accommodate up to 500 participants and offers holistic training and development to equip craft workers and professional staff with the skills, knowledge and competencies required for their construction-related roles and responsibilities.

“The academy reflects our vision to not only attract the best talent, but also to nurture and retain them,” EEI Training Academy president Jesus Teodoro Reyes said.

Reyes said EEI would continue to drive change and improvement in the Philippine construction industry by providing necessary training to elevate the skills of its workforce.

“While we are known to be experts at building physical foundations, we are equally committed to establishing a strong foundation for our human capital,” he said.

EEI said the training facility would conduct industry-caliber workshops for welding, civil works and modular structures for mechanical and electrical works.

As an official accredited training and assessment center of TESDA, the academy will provide training and evaluation in accordance with the country’s technical education and skills development regulations.

EEI said the TESDA oversight guarantees consistent program assessment, compliance with trainer qualifications, standardization of facilities and equipment as well as continuous enhancement of training methods.

Beyond technical training and upskilling, the training center will also integrates values formation into its programs.

“We believe that values formation is an essential part of the EEI Training Academy that will ultimately lead to better performance at work, harmonious relationships in the workplace, and an important element in developing the well-being of our employees,” Reyes said.

According to Reyes, the academy’s non-construction-related training includes programs for the development of professional staff, supervisory skills, safety-related courses, construction management and project management courses, behavioral skills on values formation, communication, problem-solving, decision-making and various self-improvement courses.

“We recognize that capacity-building is fundamental to sustaining excellence in construction. By continuously enhancing the skills of our workforce, we ensure that we remain adaptive, innovative and competitive in a rapidly evolving industry,” EEI Training Academy vice president Victor Evidente said.

“Through the academy, we empower our people, build resilience within the organization and secure a strong foundation for long-term growth,” he said.
