Philippines’ MANILA Times Education Holdings, based in Australia, is poised to become a leading institution for education thanks to a ground-breaking relationship with boxing legend Manny Pacquiao and the company for a number of initiatives in the Philippines.
The collaboration intends to highlight new initiatives and attract possible investors to support Times Education in its mission to deliver education and employment, the latter particularly in Australia’s expanding elderly care sector.
Last Friday during a launch event at the Fairmont Hotel in Makati City, Pacquiao expressed his happiness at being a part of such a significant accomplishment.
“I think it is important for Filipinos to study in education and in taking care of elderly individuals,” added Pacquiao.
The ex-senator continued by saying that his investment in Times Education would not only provide investors with outstanding financial returns, but also open up prospects for young people to pursue jobs in elder care.
“It gives me great pleasure to inform you that this company has already begun preparing Filipino students to fill senior care leadership positions. I have chosen to link myself with Times Education because of their dedication to our kababayans,” the future hall-of-famer stated.
The chief executive of Times Education, Charles Shiao, noted that they are in the Philippines to promote a curriculum that meets Australian standards.
He brought up the potential for Filipino students to study in Australia, particularly given the timing of Times Education’s development plans.
“We have more reputable colleges that provide thorough aged care courses. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work in a sector that is not only lucrative but also honorable in its goals, Shiao added.
Australia is having “serious trouble” providing adequate Residential Aged Care for senior residents, according to Mel Congerton, deputy mayor of the City of Swan in Western Australia and chairman of the IIBT Governance board. This is due in large part to the dearth of skilled workers in these facilities.
“Over the next ten years, the elderly care business will need 170,000 new workers, or 17,000 trained workers annually. Australia has to construct 520 new residential care facilities over the next ten years to meet the demand of our aging population, which adds to this conundrum, Congerton added.
He claimed that IIBT has the possibility to add a new social services sector training for residential aged care and employment recruitment services to its already remarkable education curriculum as a result of Times Education’s growth into aging social services.
“This diversification is a strategic commercial move and a comprehensive advancement of our objectives. Funding is necessary to deliver such a comprehensive program. For our investors, an investment opportunity in Times Education will result in tangible profits.
13 kilometers north of Perth’s central business district, Times Education plans to erect a retirement resort village and residential care facility that will provide aged care and NDIS-compliant services.
Potential investors were assured of security and value for their money, the company claimed, adding that it has trained more than 35,000 students and has seven colleges and 12 locations in Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth.
Additionally, the company offers more than 124 vocational courses, two higher education degrees, and courses in English language competency.
The establishment of a “Pacquiao Sports Academy”—a premier institution for sports education, with coaching and certification programs in a variety of programs, including boxing, tennis, basketball, and golf—is one of the plans put forth by Times Education in addition to the elderly care village.
It also plans to expand campuses in additional Australian cities like Melbourne, Canberra, Gold Coast, and Adelaide, as well as work with Philippine institutions to improve educational opportunities and community participation.
“Times Education has a strong foundation in Australia, but our goals have a universal appeal, which is why we picked The Philippines to extend our corporate story across borders. I cordially encourage you to join our story and contribute to our efforts to provide compassionate outreach, high-quality education, and steady, long-term growth, Shiao added.
