Ever since the recently concluded ASEAN Master Assessors Training on Front Office in Bali, Indonesia last October 13-31, 2014, we have been waiting for the call of the Department of Tourism when the cascading will be set.
Finally, it has been set on Feb. 5, 2015 at the DOT Bldg. Upon numerous follow-ups on the plans and updates for the roll-out of the National Trainers and Assessors Training Program, the initiative has been set to cascade the direction with regard to the said training.
It's about time. Unlike Thailand, who has set their cascading last December 2014, they have already rolled out two (2) training programs during the start of the year, with an average of thirty (30) participants per session.
One a personal note, we should share the same sense of urgency of our Thai brothers and sisters and make this happen. Despite the ASEAN integration being moved to December 31, 2015, we should establish the integration sooner, as it will take some time before we can finally feel its effects in the hospitality sector, both in industry and the academe.
I shall give an update how the meeting goes.
