“Chevron, on behalf of Block 22, is proud to invest in programs
that help prepare young and working Tabascans to succeed in their
respective fields,” said Evelyn Vílchez, Country Manager of Chevron
Energía de México. “Through these initiatives, we reiterate the
Block’s commitment to support education and youth development
programs as critical elements for continued social and economic
development.”
“INPEX is honored to take part in these initiatives as a member
of Block 22,” said Ryo Manabe, President of INPEX E&P México.
“We hope our commitment to support education and youth advancement
programs will contribute to the further development of the local
communities.” INPEX holds a 35 percent interest in Block 22.
Donations and sponsorship support from the Block partners, as
well as partnerships with Mexican nonprofit organizations, enable
the following initiatives:
• Scholarships for Environmental Social Management: In
partnership with the U.S. Embassy in Mexico and Fondo Unido-United
Way Mexico, this technical certification program offers courses in
the areas of sustainability, corporate social responsibility and
planning among others, with a focus on the energy industry. The
program is designed for qualifying students from Universidad
Politécnica del Golfo de México and Universidad Politécnica del
Centro. A total of 32 scholarships will be available through this
program.
• Waiters Without Borders Workforce Training: In
partnership with Enseña por México and the Student Chapter of the
Society of Petroleum Engineers from Universidad Politécnica del
Golfo de México, this workforce training program offers
English-language, culinary and tourism courses to waiters working
in the restaurant industry of the Puerto Ceiba, El Bellote,
Chiltepec, El Chivero, Las Flores, Union, and Barra de Tupilco
communities. English-language development will enable restaurant
professionals the opportunity to strengthen their skillset and
advance their careers in the region’s growing hospitality industry.
A total of 60 qualifying applicants will be able to receive
accreditation through this program.
Furthermore, in the next few months an additional initiative
will be implemented to offer university scholarships for students
of fishing communities. The scholarship support will benefit
qualifying students of fishing families from communities of Puerto
Ceiba, Chiltepec, Nuevo Torno Largo, Carrizal and El Bellote
communities, among others.
The signing ceremony for the programs, held at the Marriott
Villahermosa Hotel, brought together local leaders and nonprofit
representatives.
“The best formula for better job opportunities is through
education and workforce development,” said Mauricio Olan, President
of the Paraíso Escondido Restaurant Co-Op. “We are grateful to the
partners in Block 22 for their support of these programs, which
will have a long-lasting positive impact on the lives of students
and service professionals in our communities.”
"For the Embassy, these types of initiatives are more important
than ever to continue developing the workforce that makes North
America a more dynamic and competitive region," said Susan Elbow,
Minister Counselor for Public Affairs.
