Students from Pasig City who are part of the Hyundai Accelerate program have been accepted into Don Bosco Makati.

Through the Hyundai Accelerate initiative, HYUNDAI MOTOR Philippines, Inc. (HMPH) is dedicated to empowering communities and improving the prospects of Filipinos. Most recently, four scholars from Pasig City were accepted into a rigorous 12-month Industrial Skills Training Program offered by Don Bosco Makati as part of the program.
