Aboitiz supports Cebu HS agri-vocational project
Forty-three (43) senior high school students of Sinsin National High School in Cebu City will soon reap the benefits of having a technical-vocational program following the turnover of an agri-vocational project to support DepEd’s K+12 initiative. Turned over last December 16, the project involves the construction of chicken and quail layer house with ready to lay chicken and quail, and a seminar on basic layer management. Conceptualized and implemented by a group of Aboitiz scholars namely Preach Hero Angeles, Michael John Arrofo, Carlo Galicia, Jamisola Jhen Gigje, Ma. Christina Llanita, Ed Carlo Maglasang, Julius Mendoza and Jonjay Tenebro in coordination with the Aboitiz Foundation and Aboitiz food business unit Pilmico, the project provides high school graduates with opportunities to acquire certifiable technical vocational skills and venture into entrepreneurship.
As part of its Enterprise Development for a #BetterWorld campaign, the Aboitiz Foundation has been assisting small enterprising organizations across the country earn additional income by providing them access to income-generating activities and livelihood opportunities. It also provides assistance in the form of trainings and seminars to partner organizations—on various topics such as management, basic cooperative course, cooperative management and governance, cooperative standards, entrepreneurial and business management, financial management, parliamentary procedure, records management, and rules formulation–to ensure that they gain the necessary skills in making their projects successful and sustainable. This, in turn, supports one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, specifically on Decent Work and Economic Growth (Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all).
