Suzuki Philippines has inaugurated a Business Operations Simulation Facility at Don Bosco College in Laguna to strengthen industry-academe collaboration and enhance student training. The facility provides hands-on, real-world business and operational simulations, helping students develop practical skills aligned with automotive and industrial standards, while supporting Suzuki’s commitment to workforce development and education.

Don Bosco College, Canlubang, recognized for its Salesian educational framework, offers a range of degree programs, including Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Its automotive programs focus on equipping students with applied skills, technical knowledge, and industry relevant competencies.

During the event, Suzuki Philippines President Koichiro Hirao formally presented the authorization to operate the simulation facility to Fr. Jeffrey Mangubat, SDB, reinforcing the shared objective of preparing students for careers in the automotive sector.

The Suzuki Business Operations Simulation Facility is structured to simulate real world dealership environments, integrating key functions across sales, aftersales, and customer engagement. It provides students with end-to-end exposure to automotive operations, from initial customer interaction and service consultation to diagnostics, repair procedures, parts handling, and post service support. Through guided training modules and scenario-based activities, learners are able to apply classroom knowledge in a controlled, industry aligned setting that reflects actual workplace conditions.

By bridging academic instruction with practical application, the facility supports the development of graduates who are not only technically capable but also equipped with problem solving skills, professionalism, and an understanding of customer centric service. This initiative reinforces Suzuki Philippines’ continued commitment to education, workforce development, and its promise of being By Your Side, empowering future professionals every step of the way.
