Chevron (and formerly Unocal) and its subsidiaries in the Philippines and Thailand are involved with International Youth Foundation (IYF) and two of its partners – Consuelo Foundation in the Philippines and National Council for Youth Development (NCYD) in Thailand – to promote life skills, academic success and job skills for youth in these countries.
In the Philippines, Philippines Geothermal Inc., Consuelo Foundation, IYF, and the former Unocal Foundation collaborate in the E-Skills project that provides special technical education and skills development training to out-of-school youth through innovative multi-media modules.
In Thailand, NCYD’s work will focus on life skills programs with local schools to ensure that students, parents and teachers support the development of these skills in addition to academic and job training to promote preparation for employment and life success.
