AMCOOP PROUD RECIPIENT OF DOLE XII WINAP PROGRAM
AMCOOP Provides 300 Scholars for TWSP.
With the aim of providing affordable consumer goods for Filipino workers, the Department of Labor and Employment Region XII had augmented AMCOOP’s Value Store through its Workers Income Augmentation Program (WINAP) in the amount of One Million Three Hundred Five Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty Pesos (Php 1,305.980.00). Awarded last June 23, 2014, the entire amount will fund the Kabuhayan Nego-Kart program of DOLe under WINAP.
AMCOOP Value Store is a consumer store that offers reasonable prices to all members-workers of the cooperative. The program is seen to generate dividend and patronage refund for the cooperative and is also expected to increase its total equity.
DOLe’s WINAP is the Department’s means of providing package of support services for business and livelihood initiatives of the workers and their families. The package includes support for business planning, business management training, production skills training and financial assistance. The program is provided to low-income wage workers and their families in the formal economy.
AMCOOP’s continuing commitment to bring efficiency and competitiveness among its workers has now led to the enrolment of 300 scholars under the Train for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP) of the Technical Education and Skills Development (TESDA).
Last July 3, 2014, the scholarship grant was signed between the Makati Development Corporation (MDC) and TESDA. The Makati Development Corporation in VisMin operations had earlier tapped AMCOOP to look for deserving individuals for the scholarship program.
AMCOOP, being the provider of skilled workers for MDC had assured the latter of cooperating in the implementation of the scholarship program to develop efficiency and competitiveness among its workers. Upon passing the NCII Certification, the scholars will be employed in projects under MDC.
This scholarship grant will not only give free education to the people in the community but will also widen their opportunities for employment here and abroad. TWSP is funded by TESDA with the aim of creating better employment opportunities for the people.
AMCOOP Health Plus Pharmacy and Clinic
In compliance of the Department of Labor and Employment’s (DOLe) requirement for Family Welfare Program, AMCOOP Health Plus Pharmacy and Clinic was established last October 2014 in partnership with Mahintana Foundation.
This initiative is in response to the growing health concerns of the Cooperative’s members-workers by providing them with convenient health services and access to safe, affordable, effective and cheaper medicines.
AMCOOP’s partnership with Mahintana Foundation was materialized for a greater purpose of upholding the health rights of the members-workers. Mahintana Health Plus Program has been instrumental in forming and deepening community-based partnerships through its provisions of the supply requirements of the Botika ng Barangay. It also provides capacity building programs for the partners in terms of financial and operations management including marketing, monitoring and evaluation.
AMCOOP Health Plus Pharmacy and Clinic nowadays has been active in serving and responding to the health needs of its members-workers and their families.
In line with AMCOOP’s direction to professionalize, standardize, and departmentalize the organization, effective September 16, 2014, the attached Organizational and Operational Structure shall be observed and implemented.
