Feasibility Study for the Commercial Operation of the GSC Garment Shop

Abstract

The Guimaras State College (GSC) has human and non-human resources that can be utilized to generate additional revenues for the school if the correct procedures are known and a favorable entrepreneurial atmosphere would prevail. The productive resources, however, require the initiative, creativity, commitment, and diligence of SUC administrators and personnel. It is safe to assume that there are many SUC faculty and staff with entrepreneurial abilities, but their business skills and talents are not put to productive use through IGPs because of lack of adequate time and clear guidelines on the operation of these projects.

GSC is the only institution for higher education in Guimaras Island which offers varied courses of training from general to technology-based education. One of these is the Garments Technology, which covers several areas of skills development programs. One of the most inviting and in-demand projects to venture into, because of its profitability, is the garments shop.

Garment shops are dwindling, but the demand for clothing and apparels continues to grow as the population grows. Although there is a resurgence and blossoming of the ready-to-wear apparels, school and office uniforms are tailor-made. The entire GSC personnel and students are mandated to wear uniforms. They are an immediate market for the GSC Garment Shop products.

At present, the Women's Technology Department Garments Section is accepting job orders for uniforms, sleepwear, and sewn apparel; and the demand for garments-related labor is huge. This study is being undertaken.
