THE FAR Eastern University Group of Schools has partnered with SM-affiliated stores including Supervalue, Inc., Sanford Marketing Corp., Super Shopping Market, Inc., SM Supermarket, Savemore Market, and SM Hypermarket.

A memorandum of understanding was signed between officials of FEU and SM earlier this month.

The partnership aims to provide FEU students with valuable internship and work immersion opportunities.

“This MOU is part of FEU’s initiative to foster deeper and more invested partnerships with select industry leaders, such as SM Markets. These partners will play an active role in the development of FEU students and share the university’s vision of preparing them for meaningful careers,” FEU President Juan Miguel R. Montinola said.

SM Prime Director Herbert Sy, who was present during the signing, gave a tour of the headquarters to Montinola and FEU students who are currently having their OJT in SM Markets.

“We are so happy to have you here today for the signing of this exciting partnership between FEU and SM Markets. This collaboration marks a significant step towards providing valuable internship and work immersion opportunities for FEU students,” Jojo Tagbo, SM Supermarket President, said.

“Through this partnership, we hope to offer them not only practical skills but also a deeper understanding of the retail industry. As an alumnus of FEU, I can personally attest to the solid foundation that my education provided me,” he added.
