SGV & CO. said its SGV Academy has taken on partners to help Senior High School (SHS) instructors obtain teaching credentials for business, finance, and accounting.
SGV Academy said SGV & Co. signed a memorandum of agreement with Junior Achievement Philippines, Inc., and the National Association of Certified Public Accountants in Education to upgrade teaching qualifications at the Senior High School (SHS) level.
In a statement on Monday, SGV & Co. said the partnership covers the SHS Accounting Teachers Micro Credentialization program, in order to reverse the decline in enrolment in SHS accounting and business courses.
“Under the agreement, SGV’s objective is to support the development of accounting professionals and help ensure that the program’s curriculum is relevant and applicable to industry practices,” the firm said.
Through the partnership, SGV will assist the organizations in evaluating and validating the supplementary lessons, providing training for teachers, and mentoring students in the program, among others.
“This tripartite agreement is aligned with SGV’s purpose of nurturing leaders and enabling businesses for a better Philippines,” SGV said.
The SGV Academy gives the professional services firm an avenue to collaborate with educational institutions on developing courses tailored to meet the industry needs.
It currently focuses on accounting and business, law, and engineering education. — Justine Irish D. Tabile
