| Bayan Academy partners with Nestle for culinary training |
 BAYAN Academy, in partnership with Nestle Maggi Philippines, offered a five-day culinary training for the unemployed/ underemployed and micro entrepreneurs, including young mothers.The scope of training included product knowledge, cooking methods, knife skills, food safety and sanitation, waste segregation, food sustainability, butchery, fish and seafood mongering, ingredient substitution, maximizing ingredients and minimizing wastage, food plating and presentation, and seasoning and flavoring. Each successful applicant received P12,500 worth of scholarships. Recently, 94 scholars for four batches (equivalent to almost P1.2 million worth of scholarships) benefited from the program. Trainees were expected to cook five to eight menus daily and write their practical insights to ensure maximum learning. The culminating activity was a buffet dinner for about 80 guests. After the training, job coaching workshops were provided as part of the value-added service for the graduates who may want to be employed in hotels, restaurants or any food-related industries. Among the effects of the training were an increase in daily sales up to 60% for the micro entrepreneurs; employment for the unemployed; and, for young mothers, convenient, practical and creative ways of cooking.
