More Davao bakers to receive NC II Certification

A total of 25 participants from different Aboitiz Foundation partner cooperatives in Davao City are set to be skills-certified by the government following the 6th session of Baking and Pastry Skills Training at the Philippine Baking Institute last November 26, 2016. This session included the baking of cakes and cupcakes and cake decoration. The Baking and Pastry Skills Training NC (National Certificate) II was started last October 22, 2016 and the participants are expected to finish the training and earn their NC II Certification by the end of the month, when they will now have the opportunity to build their own business or be employed.

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).
