Meat Processing Training at ATC-K

This Yuletide Season, TESDA-Aklan conducted training on meat processing particularly ham, bacon, sausages, corned beef, tocino, and longganisa. The training was on time to meet the high demand for meet products for the upcoming Christmas, New Year and Ati-Atihan celebrations.
The course started on December 5, 2005 and ended on December 16, 2005 at the Aklan Training Center-Kabuhayan (ATC-K), Ati-Atihan compound, Old Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan. The ATC-K is a co-managed training center for food and tourism sector of TESDA, DTI, and the Provincial Government of Aklan.
Prior to the conduct of training, the ATC-K was partially rehabilitated with financial assistance to TESDA-Aklan from the Aklan provincial government. The rehabilitation job included tile works for the floor, demo tables and lavatories, construction of cabinets, working tables, and whiteboards. TESDA-Aklan also brought in food processing utensils and appliances.
There were 26 trainees enrolled and finished in the Meat Processing course. The trainees came from unemployed individuals, women, out-of-school youths, and start-up entrepreneurs.
TESDA-Aklan has lined up short-term livelihood courses in food processing at the ATC-K. Interested persons may inquire at the TESDA Provincial Office with telephone nos. 268-8516. /MP
