Starfruit (malangkota.go.id) - One of the keys to the success of a cooperative is quality human resources (HR), including cashiers.
To support this, the Malang City Government through the Cooperatives and Micro Business Service held a Handover of the Cooperative Manager Competency Certificate for Cashier Positions and Nutrition Facts Certificate (Food Processing) at the Telkom Office on Jl A Yani, Malang City, Wednesday (24/1).
