In a significant move towards community development, the PSU Alaminos City Campus has proposed a series of extension services aimed at enhancing the entrepreneurial and professional skills of the local community.
The proposal was presented during a Courtesy Call and Extension Services meeting with representatives from LGU Bani on April 18, 2024, at the Pasalubong Center Building in Bani, Pangasinan.
The proposed extension programs include the โAdopt A Community Projectโ, which will mainly focus on literacy training. Other strategies include building and sustaining start-up businesses, financially empowering start-up entrepreneurs, and managing events. The proposal also emphasizes the use of IT tools for entrepreneurial activities, computer literacy training for employees, and the enhancement of communication skills. A unique activity proposed is the production of salted eggs, a local delicacy.
The Gender and Development (GAD) Unit also contributed to the initiative by sending a Training Needs Assessment.
