Diwa Learning Systems Inc, with the promise of being a catalyst to raise the quality of education in our country, conducted an eLite Internship program last May 2-7 at Tanauan, Batangas. The eLite Internship Program is already on its fourth year of providing intensive training to young professionals in a multi-faceted e-Learning environment. The program is designed to train Education, IT, Computer Science, and other related courses whose interest lies in educating young minds through the use of ICT.

People wishing to gain invaluable professional experience underwent a 6-day intensive training that primarily focused on Genyo, the first and the only fully integrated online Learning Management System for basic Education in the Philippines. The 6-day in-depth training covered various activities that help build and improve the knowledge of aspiring fresh graduates who aim to be part of the DIWA family and earn the chance of being e-Learning consultants / Learning Integration Specialists of distinguished private schools all over the Philippines.

Out of 300 applicants, 43 hopefuls from topnotch universities (Philippine Normal University, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, De La Salle University of the Philippines – Dasmarinas, Technological University of the Philippines, First Asia Institute of Technology and Humanities, Sacred Heart College of Lucena, and University of Baguio) made it to the final list of aspirants.

The 43 greenhorns went through an intensive training on how they could access and generate Genyo, its different features and function, how to implement different Genyo programs specially crafted for the client schools and most importantly, how they could integrate the system inside the classroom and build the so-called classroom of the future.

But then again, the training doesn’t end on mental aspect alone. The physical, professional, and social aspects of the trainees were also honed through various programs especially crafted by Diwa’s Training team. Some of the programs were Team-Building activities, Night activities, Power of Appearance, and Situational Leadership.

The internship program catered the needs and expectations of the aspirants, giving them the most intense and high quality training that will surely suit the needs of every partner school all over the nation. 

After the weeklong training, the interns had to undergo an On-the-Job training through the Summer Teacher Training Program that DIWA provides to its client schools just before the school bells start ringing. The aspirants were assessed based on their actual performance, work ethics, and training skills.

Former aspirant and now La Consolacion Pasig Learning Integration Specialist Ma. Elizabeth Molina shared her insights about the eLite Internship Program. She recounts, “This training was an awesome experience. It prepares every aspirant to be a full-fledged Learning Integration Specialist and also made a better person out of the simple person we’ve once been. There are really no regrets that I engaged myself in this internship program; it is a one-time experience I will never forget.”

Divine Light Academy Molino Learning Integration Specialist Kristine Gonzales also shares about her eLite story. Kristine says, “I feel happy, I feel proud and fulfilled, that at least I have done those things and even exceeded it. Plus the fact that I learned a lot; we learned those things that we haven’t experienced before. We even learned new stuff, those that we only had the chance to learn from them.”

The eLite Internship Program will continually seek all around the Philippines to discover young professionals who carry the goal of elevating the Educational system of the country through the aid of ICT-integrated Education. The Batch 1, 2, 3, and 4 already created their eLite story— and with an emerging and promising field such as e-Learning, greater stories will surely be written.
