To support the company’s constant
growth, new facilities are continuously being developed and implemented,
enabling us to provide effective service to both clients and applicants.
Corporate Head Office
The
three-storey office building is located at the heart of Makati City and
houses the various administrative and support facilities. The Training and
Trade Test Center, located just a few blocks from the office, is under
construction. Currently, training is being conducted on the roof deck.
Table 4 shows photos of the facilities.
The Head Office has
6 spacious client interview rooms with a 150-person sitting capacity
applicant waiting area. The Briefing Room allows interviewers to conduct
applicant exams, orientations and seminars.
The ground floor allows 8 to 10 in-house
Technical Evaluators to conduct interviews comfortably with an ample
waiting room for applicants.
Accommodations for Applicants
For many applicants coming from the
provinces outside Manila, lodging is one of their primary concerns. To
help them with this problem, East West is providing free accommodations to
trainees, applicants waiting their final interview and selected applicants
who are being processed for deployment.
There are two lodging units located near the
head office in Makati with a combined capacity of 450 persons.
Training and Trade Test Center
The
Training Center is a four-storey building currently under construction in
Makati City. It has a floor area of 1,287 sq.m. and living quarters for
200 persons. Catering to mechanical and E & I categories, apart from
other skilled categories, the facility can train a batch of 120 welders in
three shifts.
The company also employs
the services of affiliates like Tesda, Miescor, Executive and PhilAsia
for trade testing. With the new Trade Testing Center, the company will be
able to conduct trade testing in-house under the supervision of highly
competent personnel, thereby eliminating the need to send applicants to
affiliated trade testing centers.

BRANCH
OFFICES
East West maintains three strategically-located branch offices in the
Philippines to give applicants convenient access to our services: Batangas
City, Cebu City and Cagayan de Oro City.
Most applicants coming from remote provinces cannot afford to come to Manila
to apply for work or attend client final interviews. They can report to the
branch office nearest them. Clients also have the option of going to the
branches to conduct interviews.
Branches are connected to the head office in a wide-area network enabling
them to access and update the central database on real-time. Up-to-date
applicant information from branches is instantaneously made available to the
entire company.
