TRoPPA Onboarding Program
A structured six-month journey for new PPA employees
As provided under PPA Memorandum Order No. 003-2025, which amends PPA Memorandum Order No. 002-2025, the Talent Recruit of PPA (TRoPPA) Onboarding Program is a six-month expedition designed to guide new employees as they integrate into the Philippine Ports Authority. It combines face-to-face sessions, online learning, and web-based activities delivered through the Learning Management System (LMS), ensuring a structured and comprehensive onboarding experience.
The Journey: 7 Milestones
Headway — Preparation
The initial phase where TRoPPAs receive their notice of appointment, checklist of requirements, and HR forms in preparation for their entry into the agency.
Embarkation — Completion of Requirements
This marks the formal start of employment. TRoPPAs submit all requirements, take their Oath of Office, and receive essential work tools such as a PPA ID, access card, and official email. Workstations and supplies are assigned through coordination between ASD and the Responsibility Center, and HR staff conduct a facilities tour.
Maiden Voyage — Introduction
A comprehensive orientation to PPA, including a video presentation featuring PPA officials and offices, an organizational overview, the newly-hired orientation course, and an introduction to PRIME HRM.
Exploration — Discovery
TRoPPAs begin exploring their specific roles and responsibilities — orientation on duties, preparation of their Individual Performance and Commitment, submission of development plans, and participation in mandatory training programs.
Setting Sail — Immersion
TRoPPAs fully immerse in their roles. The first Individual Performance and Commitment Review is conducted to assess progress and provide feedback for continued development.
Anchorage — End of Probationary Period
Nearing the end of the probationary period, TRoPPAs undergo a second performance review to evaluate readiness and growth. A Competency-Based Learning Needs Assessment (CBLNA) is also conducted during the sixth month.
Twilight Cruise — End of Onboarding Program
The journey concludes with the awarding of the Docking Certificate, signifying program completion. An End-of-Journey Evaluation is also conducted to gather feedback and strengthen future onboarding processes.
