Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur – The Santa Cruz Manpower Training and Assessment Center (SCMTAC) assisted in the facilitation of a Kimchi Skills Training held today, August 14, 2025, at Sitio Pogpog, Barangay Sibulan, Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur.

The training gathered members of the local women’s group, aiming to equip them with practical skills in preparing kimchi — a popular Korean fermented dish — as a potential source of livelihood. This hands-on learning experience is part of the Community-Based Training program, which brings skills development opportunities directly to communities.

The activity was funded by the Gender and Development (GAD) Division and conducted in collaboration with the Provincial Training Center – Davao del Sur, which provided an expert trainer to ensure quality instruction and guidance for the participants.

Through the joint efforts of SCMTAC, GAD Division, and the Provincial Training Center, the training not only promoted culinary skills but also encouraged entrepreneurship and economic empowerment among women in the community.

This initiative reflects the commitment of SCMTAC to support sustainable skills development and livelihood opportunities, especially for women, as part of its mission to strengthen the local workforce through accessible and relevant training programs.
