EXTENSION: TRAINING ON MEAT PROCESSING
Pangasinan State University- San Carlos Campus conducted meat processing training for faculty, non-teaching personnel, students, barangay officials of Naguilayan San Carlos City, Guardian GBNII Organization, Shepherds Flock Cooperative, and other visitors held on March 29, 2019, at Naguilayan Basketball Court, San Carlos City, Pangasinan.
The goal of the said training was to help the participants gain knowledge on meat processing which they can use for entrepreneurial activities or micro business activities.
During that time, Dr. Cesar Della, the campus Executive Director in his welcome address stated that the training was “A corporate social responsibility.” He also emphasized the five patented technologies on the campus that made the PSU-SC the campus with the highest number of Patent Technologies.
To boot, Ms. Marmie Poquiz, the coordinator of Extension Service, served as the lecturer. She discussed the importance of meat processing, the rules in cooking, preparing, and storing foods, and how to start a meat processing business. “Iwasan ang katamaran; umisip ng paraan.” (Avoid laziness; think of a way) was the notable quote of Ms. Poquiz as a wake-up call for the participants to think of a way to earn a living- and meat processing is a good one.
After the lecture, the participants gained more interest as they had hands-on meat processing themselves. Everybody went home with smiles on their faces as they gained knowledge about meat processing and were motivated to make a business.
Truly, it is training with life-long learning!
