The Isuzu Heart and Smile Project (IHSP), an initiative by Isuzu Motors Limited Japan (IML), proudly announces the graduation of Batch 21 from the Isuzu TESDA Auto Mechanic Training Center in Tacloban. This cohort includes 17 scholars who have earned the prestigious National Competency IV (NC IV) certification for Service Technicians.

Established in 2008, IHSP has been a beacon of hope for underprivileged youth, providing comprehensive training that spans from NC I to NC IV over a two-year period. The program is renowned not only for its rigorous training but also for its robust support system, offering free boarding and lodging to all trainees.

In addition to the standard TESDA curriculum, Isuzu enhances the educational experience with specialized classes on Isuzu diesel technology and other relevant topics. This holistic approach ensures graduates are well-equipped with both general and specialized skills needed in the automotive industry.

“We are very proud of the Isuzu Heart and Smile Project as it not only provides free education to Filipino youths but also transforms their lives by offering them more opportunities to excel in this field,” said IPC President Tetsuya Fujita.

Graduates from the Isuzu TESDA Auto Mechanic Training Center also have the opportunity to further their expertise through the Isuzu Global Service Corporation (IGSC). Select graduates receive advanced training focused on light to heavy-duty truck servicing, reinforcing Isuzu’s commitment to excellence in aftersales support.

During his speech, Mr. Tetsuya Ikemoto, IML Director of the Board and Managing Executive Officer Sales Division, reiterated the importance of applying what they have learned effectively, contributing to their company’s development, and giving back to their families and society. He also encouraged the graduates to continue promoting the school’s reputation by achieving even greater success than their predecessors.

With the addition of Batch 21, the school now boasts 403 graduates, fortifying Isuzu’s robust aftersales network worldwide. Alongside the graduation ceremony, Isuzu also welcomed Batch 25, consisting of 18 new trainees who will embark on their journey this month, aiming to complete their NC IV certification within the next two years.

Isuzu’s dedication to developing top-tier service technicians not only enhances its brand reputation as the number one truck brand but also ensures superior customer service. Graduates from the program have consistently demonstrated exceptional servicing skills, earning recognition both locally and internationally.
