The COVID19 Pandemic set a new normal to the entire Philippines since the wide-out spread of the virus at the start of the year. The whole economy was put into a freeze when the lockdown was ordered and transportation and movements were restricted. Business establishments were also temporarily shut down to mitigate the spread of the virus. These types of arrangements proved to be fatal to some companies leading to their permanent closure
However, WorldConnect Consultancy Services, Inc. proved to be ready and adaptive to take on these challenges. The COVID19 Pandemic did not stop the said company to gather Via Zoom platform last September 4 and 7 to hold its annual Midyear Training and Conference with the theme, “Changes and Challenges: Moving Forward Amidst the Pandemic.”
In the said two-day virtual training headed by the biggest visa consultancy firm in the Philippines and in partnership and collaboration with Ms. Tinette Cortes of ConsultAsia Global, different experts and professionals convened to discuss recent updates on visa processing and the ways on how an individual can perform competently over the virtual world especially during the pandemic where physical contacts are being avoided. Specifically, Ms. Tinette Cortes, ConsultAsia CEO, shared her training modules on Work Attitude Ethics, Personality Development and Confidence Building, and Proactive Sales and Marketing.
