Raising The Bar

San Miguel Foods University, on the other hand, has 16 schools offering more than 100 courses in various fields such as feed milling, poultry and meats live and processing operations, flour milling and applications technology, and basic quality assurance, among others. This in-house school not only allows employees to obtain the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their jobs well and expand their career opportunities, but also offers those in technical professions, such as chemists, chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineers, veterinarians, and food technologists, an opportunity to obtain the required CPD credits from the PRC to keep their licenses. The school has introduced digital learning to provide employees with greater flexibility in accessing educational resources at their own pace, a feature that is particularly useful for employees on manufacturing shifts.

GSMI has also established six in-house schools that cover a range of disciplines, such as manufacturing, sales, logistics, human resources, and liquor making. One of these schools is the Alcohol and Liquor Technology Institute, which focuses on developing alcohol sensory experts and honing employee skills in alcohol making. In 2022, GSMI offered a total of 35 courses with a combined 196 CPD credits. This initiative not only boosts employee morale and skill sets but also raises the bar for the industry as a whole.

In-house schools are not a new concept, but San Miguel Corporation’s commitment to employee development and growth sets it apart from the rest. The in-house schools not only foster a culture of learning and innovation but also ensure that its products remain of the highest quality. With SMC’s in-house schools, employees can take their careers to new heights, while the company remains at the forefront of innovation and excellence.
