St. Paul University Dumaguete (SPUD) reached a historic milestone in its mission for global competitiveness. We officially signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the American Hospitality Academy (AHA) and Soft Skills AHA, a premier USA-based international industry training provider.

The signing was led by our University President, Sr. Mila Grace Silab, SPC, together with the SPUD Academic Team. We were honored to welcome Ms. Cindi Reiman, Chief Executive Officer and President of AHA, along with her respective team, to seal this transformative partnership.

With this collaboration, SPUD aims to be the FIRST EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION in the province of Negros Oriental to offer an International Soft Skills Certificate. By integrating AHA’s world-class curriculum, we are ensuring our Paulinians are equipped with the essential interpersonal and leadership skills required to excel in the global workforce.
