Education and Training Program
NATCCO Network began as the National Training Center for Cooperatives in January 1977 to standardize the training of co-op leaders, managers, and staff so that co-ops can better serve their members.
Today, after more than 40 years, NATCCO Network still offers excellent training on every aspect of co-op operations. The goal remains for co-ops to be champions in their communities.
In 2018, our Training Team organized and conducted :
-
178 Seminars
-
To train 5,238 cooperators from 910 cooperatives
-
Beyond mere education, NATCCO Network also provided Professionalization for 74 co-ops, which provided 40 piecemeal interventions
Consultancy
Larger co-ops with more complex operations need one-on-one support. Thus, NATCCO Network offers tailor-made strategies in the areas of Credit Management, Financial Management, Human Resource Management, and Marketing and Sales.
44 co-ops engaged in Consultancy Services with 11 advisors, 22 co-ops in full interventions and 41 piecemeal interventions 22 co-ops.
Co-ops undergoing Consultancy represent a sizable portion of the NATCCO Network’s cooperatives in terms of Assets, totaling some Php 76.3 Billion, belonging to 1.45 million members.
The NATCCO Consultancy Group was re-established in 2012 with assistance from Canadian co-op federation, Desjardin Development Internationale.
Knowledge Resource Center
The Knowledge Resource Center (KRC) unit was formed as the research and program development arm of the NATCCO ETCG. This unit’s main objective is to transform the ETCG into a Cooperative Academy of NATCCO (CAN).
In 2018, it launched the Co-op LAMP (Leadership and Management Program), which granted the title of “Certified Co-op Manager” (CCM) to 28 pioneering graduates. Now, it has completed five (5) batches for Co-op LAMP and has granted more than fifty (54) CCM. On March 2019, NATCCO’s E-Learning is also transferred to KRC to improve its content and platform, ensuring easier access to co-op education by the primary cooperatives.
By October 2019, KRC will also start offering the Strategic HR Management Program for the cooperatives. They will also hold the 1st CCM Summit by November of 2019.
NATCCO-MASS-SPEC Consultancy Team
Our team is composed of consultants from the two largest federations in the Philippines; the National Confederation of Cooperatives (NATCCO) and MASS-SPECC Cooperative Development Center, together with our international partner from Development International Desjardins (DID) in Canada.
The consultancy group held a team meeting on March 12-15, 2012 to discuss extensively, share openly and learn intensively from our experiences how to level up and make our cooperatives all over the Philippines and other neighboring countries become globally competitive.
Access Branding
NATCCO, together with the Association of Asian Confederation of Credit Unions (ACCU), aims to develop primary coops into world-class institutions by making them the best in microfinance services in their communities.
So our Training and Consultancy Department, offers ACCESS which stands for “A1 Competitive Choice for Excellence in Service and Soundness”.
ACCESS Branding will arm your cooperative with the tools needed to build the organization-wide quality assurance strategy. The aim is the sustainability of your cooperative – or more specifically a better bottom line.
To monitor viability, the average cooperative is required by the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) to submit its yearly COOP PESOS rating. Although the COOP PESOS rating covers nine different aspects of a cooperative’s operations, the total number of indicators or ratios is only 17.
But ACCESS Branding goes further. The ACCU developed the Balanced Scorecard architecture comprising 86 indicators on four aspects of operations – finance, learning and growth, customer-member processes and internal business processes.
