LENGING REMEDIATION CASE
N AFTER COVID-19
came when his mother lost her job. During these
tough times, Taotao had a lot of time to assess
his life. When restrictions began to lift, Taotao
finally expressed an interest in doing a culinary
training programme to gain skills and become more
employable when he turns 16.
In May 2020, CCR CSR accompanied Taotao and
his mother to two culinary schools in Hangzhou.
Taotao was impressed by one of the school’s baking
programmes and the school also offered a guaranteed
job placement upon graduation. It was a perfect
fit and Taotao enrolled with great enthusiasm. He
officially started his course on May 21st, 2020 and
has been attending classes regularly and making huge
strides. He lives on campus and attends classes five
days a week. Within just weeks, Taotao has mastered
the art of cake decorating and has become more
confident and outgoing.
CCR CSR will continue supporting and monitoring
Taotao’s progress until February 2021, when he turns
16. Thanks to the great support from the brand and
factory, Taotao’s remediation programme took a
positive turn and he is now on course to forging a
new, promising path for himself.
