SAN JOSE DE BUENAVISTA, Antique – The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has brought skills training to a village in Sibalom town considered as a Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army Terrorist (CNT) affected area.
TESDA Antique provincial director Rick Abraham, in an interview Tuesday, said TESDA began its house wiring installation training in the remote sitio of Apong, in Barangay Cabladan on August 6. The area was monitored to have the presence of CNTs.
“TESDA Regional Director Gaspar Gayona went to Sitio Apong last August 6 for public consultation and the start of the training with 25 scholars,” he said.
He said the scholars are residents of Sitio Apong who wanted to learn how to do house wiring installation since there is no barangay electrician in the community.
He said TESDA will be coordinating with the Antique Electric Cooperative (Anteco) if they could prioritize hiring the scholars after the completion of their 10-day training.
The lone electric distributor in the province can deploy them as barangay electricians in their community and other neighboring barangays in the municipality.
“The scholars will be given Certificate of Training by TESDA after their training,” he said.
Abraham said the training is part of the campaign to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC) wherein TESDA is chair of the Livelihood, Poverty Reduction and Employment Cluster.
After the training, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in the province will provide scholars with installation kits that they cand use for their livelihood.
Meantime, the provincial government through the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) will also be offering training on dressmaking for other interested residents of the barangay.
“The Department of Trade and Industry will also provide sewing machines to the trainees after their dressmaking training,” he said.
