By working with educational institutions, MMPC amplifies learning and helps raise the chances of higher job qualifications for future graduates. This synergy between academia and industry is key to driving innovation, employment, and sustainable growth,” said Imaeda.
MMPC Vice President for Human Resources Marcelo Cenir added that this mentorship is vital in shaping the students’ professional outlook and values, as well as cultivating a workplace culture rooted in excellence, discipline, and integrity. “What makes the program stand out is the active involvement of our employees who dedicate their time, effort, and expertise to coach, mentor, and guide the students—ensuring that the experience is not only productive but also deeply enriching,” said Cenir.
Furthermore, several students who completed the program have even advanced to become full-fledged MMPC employees—a testament to the quality of training and the effectiveness of the program in preparing students for real careers.
