2GO, a division of SM Investments Corporation and the biggest logistics and transportation provider in the Philippines, has just signed an agreement with the National University (NU) to offer marine experiential on-the-job training to students majoring in tourism and hospitality at NU through 2GO’s Sea Solutions Business Unit. Students will be better prepared for their professional employment after graduation thanks to this strategic partnership, which will provide them with real-world work experience.

Participating students will spend three years onboard 2GO vessels, learning about local hospitality and tourism on a seven-day trip. While onboard, students will help out with the hotel and F&B operations and listen to regular lectures from training instructors on topics like housekeeping, F&B, and guest interactions.

National University President Dr. Renato Carlos H. Ermita stated: “Our students will enhance their knowledge, experience, and employability upon graduation through the 2GO Group, Inc.’s internship program. National University is dedicated to providing top-notch educational opportunities.”

The onboard learning program will provide students with immersive work experiences onboard similar to a cruise for 5 to 7 days, focusing on 2GO’s expertise in hospitality services. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in a career as a cruise operator to obtain hands-on training in the ship’s hotel management. As a vital link between academic study and real-world experience in the ever-changing service sector, this program is a must-have for National University’s graduating class.

Sharon Musngi-Ngo, who is the head of 2GO Group Inc.’s sea solutions business unit, was very excited about the internship program and the opportunity to work with National University. Making sure students have an easy time leaping into the workforce is our top priority in our leadership and education programs.

The internship program is scheduled to run from 2024 to 2027 and will provide students who participate with mentorship, advice, and insights into the sector. National University and 2GO Group Inc. are partnering because they believe it will have a positive effect on students’ lives and careers.

A higher level of practical experience
Students from all around the country have had access to 2GO’s on-the-job training opportunities, making the company a major participant in the maritime training industry. To give students a chance to put their classroom learning into practice, the company gladly takes on and mentors students majoring in tourism, hotel and restaurant management, and cruise ship management.

When it comes to domestic tourism and the significance of safe and convenient transportation of people and products, we at the SM Group know how important it is. President and Chief Executive Officer of 2GO and, concurrently, SM Investments, Frederic C. DyBuncio, stated that the partnership with academic institutions like NU will attract and retain more qualified individuals in the travel and logistics industries.

Technical marine majors with an emphasis in marine engineering or transportation can participate in 2GO’s internship programs. With the help of these programs, people who want to work in the marine industry can get the hands-on experience and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen field.

School trips tailored to include crucial topics are also available from 2GO. Learn the ropes with these concise one-hour day excursions that cover the ship’s accommodations, navigation, classification, safety and security features, and daily routines.

Different 2GO apprenticeship programs have different cutoffs for different majors, but each ship may hold 30–300 students.

Expert from Herbalife Discusses How the Strength of Community Can Support Individuals in Achieving Their Health and Wellness Objectives

The year began with an informative presentation by Dr. Luigi Gratton, Herbalife’s VP of Training, at Herbalife Philippines. The presentation centred on Herbalife’s Global Nutrition Philosophy, which advocates for a comprehensive approach to health using a well-rounded diet, consistent physical activity, and social support to sustain these practices.

To help people achieve their health and wellness objectives for the new year, Dr. Gratton discussed the most recent research in the field of nutrition science and how to harness the power of the community.

“The main thing we have seen in the latest literature is that restricting calories leads to losing weight along with a tremendous amount of muscle,” Dr. Gratton added, touching on the importance of protein-rich, low-calorie diets as integral instruments for ensuring general health. But you can stop muscle loss in its tracks by eating more protein. You may keep your health and vitality as you age by keeping that muscle mass.

The findings of Herbalife’s Asia Pacific Power of Community Survey 2023, which Dr. Gratton also brought out, demonstrated the importance of community support in assisting individuals in reaching their long-term health objectives.

According to the poll, 83% of consumers in the APAC region are trying to improve their health and wellness. Among this group, 51% consider support groups to be extremely helpful since they offer inspiration and connections to a wider range of health-related information and services.

“We have long believed in the power of community to help people achieve their wellness goals,” said Allan Domingo, General Manager of Herbalife Philippines. In partnership with our distributors, who not only distribute our nutrition products but also offer their clients unwavering support, motivation, encouragement, and accountability, we are committed to empowering more individuals to lead active, healthy lives that are nourished by quality nutrition.

To help its customers reach their holistic wellness objectives, Herbalife provides them with the knowledge, food, and support they need. Visit https://www.herbalife.com/en-ph for more details.
