Philippines Diary – Out of Campus Partnership with Treston International college, BGC

Philippines is a country where the younger generation dreams a lot.
In fact everybody I met dream to do well for themselves, Family and Kids? and they are ready to take chances.

“That was the only reason Academy actually came to open their campus in Makati”

Its very difficult to engage with prospective students who wish to enter hospitality Industry. Awareness, Location and Finance is definitely the biggest reason.

Couple of weeks back, Academy in Philippines try an Initiative where, we can conduct some series of workshops sharing some new techniques. we were thinking to grow up an Idea sharing community where students who are undergraduate or graduate of Hotel Management / Culinary arts can come together and learn something new. Some thing to teach about Pastry techniques which they can use in their current or future career.

Since all the students was suppose to share their current status, we were shocked to see names of colleges we have never heard of.

Equally shocked were the students when they visit our campus. They didn’t realize what are we teaching as they didn’t even have an Idea of what we are doing? but then again , whom to blame? Its their career and they have to be more vigilant while choose colleges

Treston College
Partnership for Entrepreneurship Program in Pastry

Beautiful International college & Location as well

My last visit to Treston college was brief but I was impressed with the Facilities and their way of thinking. If you are in education Industry then you have to be thinking way ahead. Its a responsible job where you need to understand as what your students will be doing after they graduate.

you need to have a road Map where both school and students are on the same Page

In a country like Philippines, where Job is always a problem. Its very Important for colleges to think about placement of their students. specially if they promote them as professional colleges.

The program is Brain child of Treston College where the students will be taken through the business aspect of the Program and academy will take over the practical and Pastry Training aspect of the students

This exactly was my Point , if colleges exactly does what they need to do then half of the problem is solved

I seriously believe that this Partnership works well, as It will be good for Future Pastry Entrepreneurs who wish to start some thing of their own. Anything which is done with Great Intention and clear focus will do good.

Next stop will be Thailand, Indonesia and Lebanon. Lets see which one come first !!!
