A total of 54 student trainees completed the Hospitality Management (HM) Training Course under the Training for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP) of the Livelihood for the Undeserved (LOU) Project, spearheaded by the city’s First Lady Marilou Escalante, held at the City Development Council Hall last May 29.
The trainees, who were mostly out-of-school youth, had undergone hands-on training on table skirting, waitering, fine dining, bartending and housekeeping under the tutelage of Liza Marie Inocencio, also an HM graduate from La Consolacion College, Jose Jayno Nosal, Jessica Z. Escalante and Federico Flores.
Mayor Patrick Escalante said that this one month training had greatly helped those high school graduates who cannot pursue their studies in college for they can be hired in any hotel and restaurant as long as they have the certificate of training.
He also added that these HM graduates will be given first priority to work in SM Hypermarket when it opens on November.
Councilor Denia Hinolan, SP vice chairman on tourism, in her welcome address also informed that she will also recommend the group to some of the restaurant and hotel owners within the province. She encouraged them to do their best in their field of endeavor.
Rhia Undaloc and Dave Relatos, two of the graduates gave their testimonies and heartily thanked the city government, Mayor Escalante and First Marilou for giving them the privilege to avail the free training program. They appreciated the efforts of the facilitators and the all out support of the administration in finding for a job placement.
Councilor Marcelo Metuda, Sr. gave his closing remarks and also pledged to help them finance the processing of NBI and other documents in compliance with the requirements posted by the company.
As of the press time, three trainees namely Jerson Tabasa, Eliseo Panes and Herni Lyzel Patricio were already hired by Transcom in Bacolod City./*
