MIX IT UP!

Mix it UP! Is a project that aims to provide employment opportunities for its beneficiaries by training them in the art of bartending. The project is designed to help them secure stable careers with steady income and open doors for them to advance their skills.

Led by Cli ord Aw, the project has been successful in training beneficiaries in the fundamentals of bartending. The training covers topics such as mixing and pouring techniques, understanding alcoholic beverages, customer service skills, and safety protocols. The beneficiaries also learn about inventory management, bar operations, and marketing strategies.

The project started on March 27 and 30 with the first batch of beneficiaries. The participants come from di erent backgrounds, and most of them are underprivileged and lack access to employment opportunities. Through Mix it UP!, they are given a chance to acquire new skills and knowledge that can help them secure jobs in the hospitality industry.

The training sessions are conducted by experienced bartenders and mixologists who shared their expertise with the beneficiaries. They also provide valuable insights into the industry and share tips on how to excel in their careers. The project promotes self-confidence, discipline, and responsibility, which are essential qualities that can help them succeed in any career.

With the success of the first batch, JCI Manila plans to continue the Mix it UP! project and provide more opportunities for beneficiaries in the future. By providing training and employment opportunities, JCI Manila hopes to contribute to the development of a skilled workforce and a stronger, more resilient community.
