My TWC Journey

"Don't ever let your dreams remain to be a dream. Work for it, do something about it. Little by little, you won't even realize that you've achieved your dream."

Jayvee G. Sarabia's journey showcases the power of pursuing one's passions. Initially a hospitality management student, Jayvee found himself unsatisfied with his chosen course. Rather than continue down an unfulfilling path, he bravely decided to leave college and pursue training through TESDA.

Running the business solo has also honed Jayvee's management skills, teaching him to be organized and efficient in preparing and delivering orders on time.

After completing training, Jayvee began making canvas tote bags for fun, which soon evolved into a thriving business venture.

Supported by friends and family, Jayvee launched "Grain Stain" tote bags, promoting the reduction of single-use plastic. The business quickly took off, with Jayvee once completing a massive order of 250 tote bags within just two months.

Jayvee's story exemplifies how TESDA can empower individuals to turn their passions into successful enterprises. His journey as a thriving tote bag entrepreneur is a testament to the life-changing impact of vocational training. Jayvee's hard work, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit continue to inspire others to pursue their dreams.
