15 Dec 2024 – Nine participants (seven women) hugged their framed certificates in their graduation from the challenging 11-Saturday 3rd Cluster learning course (CLiCK 3) conducted by the NTUC Phl Leadership Institute (LEADNtI). They were joined in celebration on Dec 15 by graduates from the first two CLiCks in 2023 and 2024. NTUC CLiCK’s training for women and young workers for leadership uses improved modules from CLiCks 1 and 2 and the ITUC AP/DGB BW/ATUC leadership modules and mentoring manuals. The in-person course took place at the ObreNa Center in Quezon City. The teaching team, led by President Jhing Ogalinda, comes from NTUC Phl. Participating federations fully supported the program and participants’ expenses. There are now a total of 30 graduates (from 44 starters) of the three CLiCk courses. The next CLiCK starts in March 2025.
