PowerCamp is a 280-hour internship program designed by MPA for top-performing engineering students across the country. It comprises immersive on-the-job trainings and project-based activities aimed at developing students’ leadership capabilities and enhancing their technical knowledge.
“PowerCamp has introduced me to what a work environment is like, along with Meralco’s responsibility to serve the people, and I will be looking forward to seeing all the possibilities of my future as an engineer in a new light,” said PowerCamper Frances Margaret Maria T. Recto from the University of the Philippines (UP).
Apart from UP, this year’s Meralco PowerCamp participants were also selected from the University of Santo Tomas, Ateneo de Manila University, Mapua University, Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Technological Institute of the Philippines, Technological University of the Philippines, Cebu Institute of Technology, University of San Carlos, Mindanao State University-General Santos and Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology.
“As future engineers, scientists, and industry leaders, PowerCampers will have an important role in shaping how the country responds to its growing energy needs,” MPA Trustee and Meralco PowerGen (MGEN) president and chief executive officer Emmanuel V. Rubio said.
