THE University of San Carlos in Cebu City recently hosted executives of Abaca Baking Company on the apprenticeship of students.

USC renewed its partnership with the company to provide students with internship and hiring opportunities.

Paula Miraflor, Abaca’s assistant training manager, said that they will be receiving around 30 students from the university.

The students will be working in different areas which include financial management, psychology, and food and beverages.

“What’s good about Abaca is we do not stop students from cross-training. We want people who are jack-of-all-trades. So, if the students find something that they’re interested in, we can let them try it,” Miraflor said.

On the other hand, Abaca’s Executive Chef John Grupo shared that they are developing a training program “that will cover the basic on-the-job training that can potentially lead to hiring.”
