CONTEXT
The Association of Southeast Asian Social Enterprises for Training in Hospitality & Catering (ASSET-H&C) is a network that brings together vocational training centres willing to work hand in hand to better fulfil their common social mission: bringing positive change in the lives of youth from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds, through training and professional integration in hospitality & catering. To reduce the social and economic barriers that prevent students from accessing and successfully completing their training, ASSET-H&C members provide an annual total of more than 1400 youths with training that usually includes free accommodation, food, and health care. The network was launched in 2016 and currently consists of 14 members in six countries (Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam).
Throughout 10 years in operation, our activities have evolved surrounding the three pillars of action: SHARE, SUPPORT, and PROMOTE. To celebrate this milestone and prepare for the future of ASSET-H&C, we plan to investigate the effects we had over the years and use these data to inform our donors and adjust our strategy. Regarding the importance of this effect measurement, we find that it is essential to have an experienced professional, who will take out the work with ethics and professionalism, join our efforts.
