CEBU, Philippines – The growing demand for baristas both in the local and foreign market prompted Cebu Holdings Inc. (CHI), together with partner institutions, to offer a free crash-course program for out-of-school-youths residing in the six barangays near Cebu Business Park and Cebu Asiatown IT Park.
CHI along with the University of Southern Philippines Foundation, and Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) recently presented 17 graduates of the Barista crash course, which aims to provide employment to these young individuals, or encourage them to engage in small coffee shop business.
“The program dubbed TASA meaning “Tambayayong Aswat Sugod-sunod Asenso is a project created to meet the needs of the members of our community in the areas of education towards employment and entrepreneurship. It also means Team Assistance for Skills Advancement,” said CHI corporate communications manager Vera Alejandri
In cooperation with TESDA and USPF, the 17 out-of-school-youth chosen from barangays Apas, Camputhaw, Carreta, Hipodromo, Luz and Mabolo officially got their skill’s certification with hands-on training in support with the well-known coffee shops like Bo’s Coffee Club, Figaro, Gloria Jeans, and Seattle’s Best
