Established on July 9, 2019, EFAM Training Consultancy Services is built upon a foundation of over 50 years of combined leadership expertise. Managing Director Ma. Eliza Margarita E. Magkasi, Ph.D., offers two decades of high-level academic management, while Managing Partner Ferdinand C. Magkasi, MHRM, contributes 30 years of excellence in Human Resource practice and academia. Since its inception, EFAM’s primary mission has been to empower Filipino students to become globally competitive by providing affordable, high-quality pathways to international internships. In its early years, the consultancy forged vital partnerships in China and Japan, specializing in Agriculture, Hospitality, and Food Technology, while simultaneously providing strategic business consultancy to international partners entering the Philippine market.

The company’s resilience was put to the ultimate test in March 2020. As the global pandemic closed borders and halted physical deployments for institutions such as Tarlac Agricultural University and Central Luzon State University, EFAM swiftly pivoted to digital-first solutions. By December 2020, the firm pioneered virtual international internships for National University-Baliwag students, connecting them with organizations in the United Kingdom and Japan. This innovative spirit continued through November 2021 with the launch of SHS Online Immersion and Virtual Industrial Psychology training, ensuring that students remained aligned with industry standards despite global restrictions.

In celebration of its fifth anniversary in 2024, EFAM refreshed its vision to reflect a broader, more inclusive global reach. By June 2025, the company reached a significant milestone by expanding into the South Asian market, successfully facilitating the deployment of Nepalese students to world-class hotels in Thailand. Beyond student placements, EFAM has solidified its reputation as a trusted global partner by serving as the exclusive international human resources arm for select hotels and restaurants in Japan, managing the recruitment and placement of their part-time workforce.

Looking toward the future, EFAM is now extending its reach to Russian-speaking countries, facilitating specialized internships in top-tier hotels across China. By continuously expanding its geographical footprint and program offerings, EFAM Training Consultancy Services remains dedicated to helping students and professionals from all backgrounds master foreign languages, embrace diverse cultures, and navigate the complexities of international business operations.
