They have been deployed to two fields of practice, General Agriculture and Livestock. They are all trained to new farming technology for mushroom production , banana, avocado, citrus farm propagation and dairy farm management.

The student trainees witnessed the genuine hospitality of Filipino workers and Christian groups when they were guided to visit the biblical heritage located in the cities of Israel.
They also experienced the natural phenomenon of winter season, a happening which never did they imagine they would able to witness, a mountain range covered with crystal ice which now part of their unforgettable and rewarding journey to a foreign land (SMM).
