Technical Services to Students

ICOPED has a pool of experts and practitioners who have adequate educational background and professional experiences in the field of cooperatives. Both faculty and researchers have been engaged in several research and extension activities that deal with the contemporary and emerging issues and concerns related to cooperatives. Staff development opportunities in the country and abroad have also equipped them with practical knowledge and skills in understanding the local and international cooperative movement.

As part of our commitment to increase awareness and hone the understanding of the youth about cooperativism, we are glad and more than willing to provide students who are interested to know more about cooperatives and/or to conduct studies related to cooperatives with technical advisory and assistance, activity facilitation support, and knowledge and information sharing services.
