Seven De-suups competed their "Intermediate Level" metal smith training working with silver at the Taba training center.

These De-suups were the top performers of the previous batches of basic metal smithing trainings.

They were trained by experts from the USA, Michael McRae and Jacob D. Morgan.

The students learned how to create stamps for their jewellery from a sixth generation Navajo Silversmith, Jacob D. Morgan. The two weeks course, materials and trainer was sponsored by the Rio Grande company in the USA.

With Michael McRae, the Desuups continued to work on honing their skills as they made necklaces, cuffs, rings and earrings in silver.

The 2nd cohort of 12 De-suups completed the Professional Cookery Course in Culinary Arts on 25 April 2023.

The Professional Cookery course includes the highest hospitality industry competencies in international cuisine, molecular-gastronomy and training in beverage and wine service.

Under the guidance of Chef Pakpoom Jitprapai (Patrick) this course is based on ASEAN Competencies & Standards to ensure that the De-suups attain standards at par with international levels in the hospitality industry so that they can participate at a global level in the fast-moving industry.

Considering the popularity of the course and the bright prospects for employment, the DSP launched the training for the 3rd cohort of 19 De-suups at the Training Center in Pangbisa. The course is open for De-suups who have completed the Foundation and Intermediate level courses and at least three months on-the-job training and demonstrated discipline, seriousness and passion for the Culinary Arts.
