To prepare Thomasians for “Food Trip sa Tomas Entrep Week 2020,” business talks were held last March 4, 2020 at the Colegio de Sto. Tomas Cultural Center. Graduating students, who could become entrepreneurs after senior high school, were given vital pointers on how to start a business and how to deal with complications during the business venture.
Thomasian entrepreneurs sold international cuisine—American, Asian and European favorites included, as part of their performance task in Entrepreneurship Class.
Ms. Febe Verieza, local entrepreneur who had shared her experiences and stories about building her own business, Ms. Mia Aujero (Department of Trade and Industry representative), Mr. Erel Lim. PESO-San Carlos representative, and Mr. Jan Cupang, CST-R ABM teacher, were among the speakers.
