25 August 2022, Cagayan de Oro City – It is the seventh time that the National Nutrition Council Regional Office X receives on-the-job trainees from Central Mindanao University. Five (5) senior BS Nutrition and Dietetics students were given the chance to be immersed in their 300-hour Community Nutrition Practicum at NNC X.

The students, namely, Ms. Junice M. Espinosa, Ms. Lhalene Flores, Ms. Ailean Faith S. Hotohot, Ms. Trisha Mae M. Magallanes and Ms. Joyce Vanessa E. Navaja kick-started their practicum with an orientation held by NNC X technical staff last 24 August 2022 at the NNC X office.

As part of the undergraduate degree requirements, the students are expected to gain knowledge, skills and positive attitudes and work ethics in applying theories into practical situations in nutrition program management. They will also be exposed to NNC X’s programs, activities and functions. Further, the interns will be immersed in barangay nutrition program management. This will be done in coordination with select barangays in Cagayan de Oro City.

Since 2014, the NNC X is Central Mindanao University’s institutional partner in molding future public health nutritionist-dietitians who shall serve as nutrition champions and serve the nutritionally vulnerable groups.
