To further empower Learners enrolled in technical schools, HFI donated four (4) motorcycle training units and two (2) hybrid cars to be used for instructional use and restoration training. In addition, HFI provided specialized tools designed for maintenance, repair, and diagnostic procedures.

This initiative extends beyond providing equipment. HFI is also committed to creating long‑term opportunities for top-performing students from partner schools. These students may qualify to undergo on‑the‑job training (OJT) at Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) and Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI). Upon completing their training, they will be endorsed for deployment and potential employment within the nationwide Honda dealer network.

HFI remains steadfast in advancing these efforts in support of the youth and the broader community. We will continue working closely with the academe as we strive to be a company that society wants to exist.
