An empowerment
program for overseas Filipinos, the Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship
(LSE) Training Program spearheaded by the Consortium on Migration and Development
Council (MDC) will start its fourth training in Hong Kong on March 9.
The LSE
Program is a joint initiative of the Ateneo University School of Government
(ASoG) with the Overseas Filipinos Society for the Promotion of Economic
Security (OFSPES), the Social Enterprises Development Partnerships Inc.
(SEDPI), Ugat Foundation, the Philippine Consulate, the Philippine Overseas
Labor Office (POLO), and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
The course is organized and coordinated in Hong Kong by WIMLER Foundation Hong
Kong.
The LSE
was first conducted in Rome, Italy in 2008 and has since reached out to other
overseas Filipinos (OFs) in Naples, Milan, Florence, Turin, Dubai, Amsterdam,
Paris and Brussels. By April 2014, over 700 would have graduated from 21
batches. The LSE22 in Hong Kong is following the successful LSE 12, 15 and 16. Also
launched in October 2012 was the first LSE program for the families of OFs
based in the Philippines which is called the Financial Literacy, Leadership and
Social Entrepreneurship Training Program (FLSE). In the first quarter of 2014,
plans are underway to conduct the FLSE in Cagayan de Oro City, Davao City and
two in Iloilo.
The LSE
22 covers 13 sessions each, two Sundays per month over a six-month period starting
on March 9. Sessions last from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. The first two sessions are
scheduled to be conducted at the Bayanihan Center. The program covers three
modules: financial literacy, leadership and social entrepreneurship. The LSE
aims to develop the leadership skills and potentials among overseas Filipinos
and their families, provide knowledge and skills in savings and investments and
other financial matters and develop and/or enhance their entrepreneurial
skills.

all the sessions at a graduation ceremony at the end of the course.
