SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
Brief History of Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges
Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges will start on June 2025 at Brgy. Polangi. Calbiga, Samar in a
40 hectares private property owned by Atty. Juan C. Teoco Jr. Part of this property, being precious
hardware, will be improved and turned into 10 classrooms and become Inocenta C. Teoco
Colleges which caters and serves high school graduates of nearby secondary schools of Calbiga,
Hinabangan, Paranas, Pinabakdao, San Sebastian, Motiong, Jiabong Villareal and Sta. Rita
Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges, despite of being the youngest among the private colleges in
the Province of Samar will accept 100 high school graduates for Academic Year 2025-2026.
Brief Description of Proposed Program
The Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship is a four-year degree program which centers
on how to start and manage a business by combining management, accounting, finance, and
marketing principles. This program is designed in order to equip students with the necessary
knowledge and skills in identifying business opportunities, business planning, financing, company
valuation, and business management.
Our Vision Statement
To be a leading training center for accounting, business administration, commerce,
information technology and office administration among the educational institutions in the AsiaPacific region by 2029.
Our Mission Statement
The College of Business is committed to provide quality business education producing
competent graduates equipped with special skills in their field of expertise.
Our Business Goal
It is a known fact that, the success of any business is to a larger extent dependent on the
business structure of the organization and the people who occupy the available roles in the
organization. Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges will build a solid business structure that can support
the growth of our private college.
We will ensure that we hire competent hands (teaching and non – teaching staff members)
to help us build the tertiary level education of our dream. The fact that we want to become one of
the leading brand in the industry makes it highly necessary for our organization to deliberately
build a well – structured business from the onset. We will work hard to ensure that we only attract
people with the right mindset to help us achieve our business goals and objectives in record time.

SECTION 2
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
When adequate educational needs assessments of the target audience are conducted and
education is linked to practice, education is more likely to: 1) Engage the audience; 2) Meet the
expectations of that audience; 3) Increase or reinforce knowledge; and 4) Promote and reinforce
best practices and evidence-based behaviors. In order to maximize the relevance and impact of an
educational activity, it is critical to conduct a needs assessment that is thorough and relevant to the
real practice challenges facing the target audience.
The needs assessment is a great opportunity to step back and build understanding about the
proposed program through the target population (aka, intended clients), their strengths, needs,
concerns and goals.
Completing the needs assessment allowed Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges an opportunity to
connect with the target audience through in-person focus groups and surveys at key community
gatherings as well as meetings with key community partners. We also gathered key indicators from
the census and other external data sources. The information collected included demographics,
income levels, education levels and goals, and perceived gaps in community services. Combined
with the stakeholder feedback, we developed a comprehensive profile of the targeted community.
Data was analyzed and key findings shared with Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges leadership. Results
from the needs assessment not only demonstrated a strong need in the community, but will also
serve as a baseline of information for future planning and programming within this community.
Understanding the needs of a community or “market” is the foundation for successful
organizational programming that will have the greatest, long-lasting impact.
Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges, will engage to the services of a core professional in the area
of business consulting and structuring with bias in the education sector to assist in building a well
– structured private college that can favorably compete in the highly competitive education cum
private college industry in the Province of Samar.
Part of what the team of business consultant did was to work with the management of
Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges in conducting a SWOT analysis whereby a brief summary from the
result is presented in the accompanying page.
Strength:
As a private college, the core strength of ICTC lies in the power of its team; the workforce.
 It has a team with excellent qualifications and experience in the educational sector;
 It is well- positioned in a community with the right demography and will attract loads of
students from the first day when its doors are opened and welcome students for enrollment;
 An abundance of co-curricular activities; and
 Strong funding/financial backing.
Weakness:
As a new private college in Brgy. Polangi Calbiga Samar, Philippines, it might take some
time for our organization to break into the market and gain acceptance via reputation in the already
saturated education cum private colleges industry in the Province of Samar in particular and in
Region VIII in general.
 Not enough co-curricular and sports activities;
 Lack of funding for specific sports/programs;
4





Not enough staff/faculty members;
Staff unable to meet with parents;
Lack of proper training for faculty;
Poor internal communications; and
Poor testing scores.
Opportunities:
The opportunities in the education cum private college industry is massive considering the
number of parents who would want their wards to perform excellently well in their education and
go ahead to be admitted in well-compensated institutions. As a standard and private college,
Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges, is ready to take advantage of any opportunity that comes her way.
 Activate a volunteer committee for school related events;
 Ask students and parents for feedback; and
 Highlight new program developments.
Threat:
Every business faces a threat or challenge at any part of the life cycle of the business. These
threats can be external or internal. This shows the importance of a business plan, because most
threats or challenges are to be anticipated and plans put in place to cushion what effect they might
bring to the private college.
Some of the threats that ICTC is likely going to face as a private college operating in the Province
of Samar are:
 unfavorable government policies that might affect private colleges;
 the arrival of a competitor within our location of operations; and
 global economic downturn which usually affects spending / purchasing power.
There is hardly anything Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges can do as regards these threats other
than to be optimistic that things will continue to work for our good.
The SWOT analysis highlights and expands our strengths. It minimizes or even erases
weaknesses. It allows the creation of opportunities. And it identifies threats to prevent blow ups.
It’s a framework to understand the present and future situation of our college. And all it
takes to complete is time
In addition to the needs assessment, other factors should also be considered when
evaluating the feasibility or desirability of offering the Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneur.
These include the items below, which are further discussed in this section.

Design Curriculum Options
Curriculum and instruction are the meat of the educational process. Real change in
education comes with changes in the content that teachers teach and students learn, and in the
instructional methods that teachers use. Both curriculum and instruction in turn are shaped by
expectations about the kinds of educational outcomes that students should manifest by the time
they graduate from high school.
Adequate and Consistent Course Program
Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship program is designed to ensure that a student could
demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to be a successful entrepreneur.
Students in the bachelor of entrepreneurship program gain knowledge of business planning,
financing, marketing, management, information technology and consulting. They'll learn how to
apply this knowledge to new ventures, small enterprises and family businesses.
Program Outcomes
With an entrepreneurship degree, the students have the skills and knowledge to:


And so much more! The possibilities are endless because as an entrepreneur, you make
your own career path.
Demand and Markets for Quality Graduates
A majority of students often wonder what kind of careers they can pursue with a Bachelor
of Science in Entrepreneurship. The truth is that there are so many jobs they can do with this
degree.
Career Opportunities
Students majoring in Entrepreneurship develop the skills necessary to identify a marketable
product or service and to carry out the tasks required to get it to customers. They learn how to
develop a business plan to organize their efforts and launch the venture. Entrepreneurship
graduates typically start their own ventures, work with a small or family business, or pursue
“entrepreneurial” careers with major corporations.

Sustainability Plan
Sustainability is a “whole-school” approach, one that extends beyond the curriculum and
addresses the entire planning and management of the school facility. School sustainability policies
can reinforce what is taught about sustainability in the classroom, improve the school’s own
ecological footprint and strengthen public relations with the surrounding community. A
sustainable college prepares young people for a lifetime of sustainable living through its teaching
and day-to-day practices.
In order for sustainability to be integrated into the ICTC’s long-term operational and
educational practices, organizational change is required. Organizational change such as accepting
a new vision for the organization, establishing new practices and policies, changing responsibilities
and roles of members, etc. is incredibly difficult. We have witnessed countless schools and districts
struggle to integrate sustainability into their facilities, programs, and organizational culture.
However, we have discovered pockets of success that overcame the barriers to advance whole
8
system sustainability. One such factor is the adoption of a Whole-School Sustainability
Framework.
The framework is founded on the imperative that in order to be successful, sustainability
requires a whole-system approach. A Whole-School Sustainability approach requires individuals
from across an organization to work together—it cannot be accomplished in a silo. This system
framework is organized into the three components of schools: organizational culture, physical
place, and educational program.
A whole school approach refers to the infusion of sustainability across the curriculum (e.g.
teaching, learning), through facilities and operations (e.g. reducing its ecological footprint), in its
capacity building efforts (e.g. providing training to staff), governance (e.g. sustainable school plans
and policies) and through partnerships (e.g. reaching out to the community). A whole-institution
approach thus means that the strategy of the institution, and ultimately its culture, is oriented
towards sustainable development. The activities found within this approach may vary from
school/college division, in order for it to be locally relevant.
It is a known fact that the future of any business lies in the numbers of loyal customers that
they have, the capacity and competence of the employees, their investment strategy and of course
the business structure. If all of these factors are missing from a business (company), then it won’t
be too long before the business will be closed.
One of our major goals of starting Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges is to build a business that
will survive off its own cash flow without the need for injecting finance from external sources
once the business is officially running.
We know that one of the ways of gaining approval and winning customers (students and
parents alike) over is to ensure that we offer nothing less than the best, to offer quality education
to all our students so much so that they can favorably compete with students all over the
Philippines.
Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges will make sure that the right foundation, structures and
processes are put in place to ensure that our staff welfare are well taken of. Our company’s
corporate culture is designed to drive our business to greater heights and training and re – training
of our workforce is at the top burner of our business strategy. As a matter of fact, profit-sharing
arrangement will be made available to all our management staff and it will be based on their
performance for a period of three years or more as determined by the board of the organization.
We know that if that is put in place, we will be able to successfully hire and retain the best hands
we can get in the industry; they will be more committed to help us build the business of our dreams.

SECTION 3
MANAGEMENT VIABILITY
The management of Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges ensures to hire competent personnel
(teaching and non – teaching staff members) to help in building its dream of tertiary level education
through the offering of Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship program. The fact that ICTC
wants to become one of the leading educational Institutions makes it highly necessary to establish
an organization to deliberately build a well – structured business from the onset.
ICTC will work hard to ensure that only people with the right mindset will be recruited to
help it achieve the business goals and objectives in record time.
3.1 Organization Structure and Personnel Requirements

SECTION 4
MARKET VIABILITY
Market Trends
The trend in the private college line of business is that the key to attracting students is the
educational performance and the passing rate of their students in national exams. Any higher
educational institution (HEI) that has good records will always thrive.
The demand is driven by the fact that most public cum government-owned schools cannot
accommodate every students or potential students in a given geographical location. In some cases,
students with special needs cannot cope in public schools, hence, the need for private schools.
The economic downturn hasn’t really affected this industry, especially in countries that
believe in the efficacy of education. The areas you would need to spend heavily on are in ensuring
that your school is up to standard, your advertisements, and on insurance policy cover.
Lastly, it is trendier to find private colleges engaging in extra – curricular activities and as
a matter of fact, a private college that thrives in sports can leverage on that to attract students who
are sports inclined.
Target Market
As a standard and private school, Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges. is going to offer
scholarships, education program like study now pay later which is within the scope of the education
board in the Philippines. Our intention of starting Inocenta C. Teoco Colleges is to help learner
with financial ability and with financial constraints that wasn’t able to even pay their fare going to
the nearest college in Calbiga Samar, and of course to make profits from the education cum private
schools industry.
Our target market cuts across people (students) of different class. We are coming into the
education cum private schools industry with a business concept that will enable us to work with
the students at different learning stages residing in and around Brgy. Polangi Calbiga, Samar,
Philippines.
Competitive Advantage
Indeed the private college industry is highly competitive and the entry barriers are high. As
a matter of fact, the college private school industry is an industry in which it is pretty difficult for
new entrants to establish themselves. So also, the reputation of the school is of utmost importance,
as private schools that have a good history of getting students into prestigious colleges and
prepared them to be successful in the field of profession they choose and be topnotchers on
National Examination often have the best reputations, hence, good enrollments.
With this, it is obvious that a new entrant into the college private school industry cannot
offer this. Reputation indeed is imperative to parents’ decisions when shopping for college private
school for their wards. This is so because the quality of education cannot be assessed until after it
is well-complete.
ICTC is quite aware that to be highly competitive in the education it should be able to
deliver consistent quality service, the students should be able to experience remarkable difference
and improvement and to be able to meet the expectations of both students and parents alike.
ICTC might be the first and new entrant into the education cum college private schools
industry in Calbiga, Samar, but the management staff and owners of the private college are
20
considered gurus. They are people who are core professionals, licensed and highly qualified
educationist/teachers at various levels of learning local, national and international. These are part
of what will count as a competitive advantage for us.
Lastly, our employees (teaching and non – teaching staff members) will be well-taken care
of, and their welfare package will be among the best within our category (start-ups private school
in Calbiga, Samar) in the industry meaning that they will be more than willing to build the business
with us and help deliver our set goals and achieve all our business aims and objectives.
Sales and Marketing Strategy

in the Province of Samar; hence, we have been able to partner some of the best marketing experts
