Foundation for Professional Training, Inc. (FPTI) Vice Chairperson and Vice President, Ms. Marietta Gorrez, gave the closing remarks.
Anihan SHS Class of 2022 began their senior high school a few months after the Covid-19 lockdown had started. Consequently, almost all of their classes were online which they managed quite well, with about half of the class graduating with academic honors.
All 2022 Anihan SHS graduates have acquired TESDA NC II full competencies in Bread and Pastry Production, Cookery, and Food and Beverage Service. Twenty-nine of the thirty graduates were immediately employed by Anihan’s industry partners while one decided to pursue her college education.
The Anihan SHS scholarship program is made possible by the sales of the Anihan Goodies which are produced by the Anihan Livelihood Center, as well as by donations from individuals and institutions.
