SOMINOT, Zamboanga del Sur– The local government unit (LGU) here extolled the national government agencies particularly the Technical Education Skills and Development Authority (Tesda) and the Department of Labor and Employment (Dole) through their respective provincial offices for providing skills livelihood and training assistance program to the out-of-school-youths (OSYs) and unemployed adults of the municipality.
Mayor Stephen Acosta in a recent interview with the Philippine Information Agency (PIA9) said the skills training provided by Tesda and the livelihood assistance extended by Dole through the granting of Kabuhayan starter kits to OSYs and unemployed adults, as these have greatly helped them in their livelihood activities.
“Because of the skills they’ve learned from their short-term course at Tesda in electrical installation and maintenance NC II. Twelve graduates from our region already have jobs in abroad” Acosta proudly said.
“In Tesda, the graduates were able to achieve their dreams of working abroad to help their parents, fund the schooling of their younger brother/sister, and uplift the economic condition of their families” Acosta added.
Electrical installation and maintenance NC II is one of Tesda’s short courses in the Philippines that will train a person in installing and maintaining electrical wiring, lighting and related equipment and systems in residential buildings where the voltage does not exceed 600 volts.
Acosta also reported that another livelihood project beneficiary from the town who is now working as painter was able to improve his living after he had availed himself of a Kabuhayan starter kit from Dole. (PIA)
