Courses offered are motorcycle/small engine servicing; prepare cold meals; solar lamps assembly;nihonggo language; hilot (wellness massage); carpentry; process food bysalting, curing and smoking at maintain and repair audio/video products.
Upon taking this program, the best part of it is that the tuition fee is absolutely free . Along with this are free training kits, transportation allowance, lunch & snacks for those who participated.
According to Presidential Spokesperson, Ernesto Abella, this program answers the platforms of President Rodrigo Duterte which supports the OFWs to go back in the Philippines to start a new living after going abroad.
Abella added, “It is a simple solution where the government can actually provide the kind of support, government can act as facilitators. Filipino is very creating and very innovative and madiskarte. Ang kailangan lang talaga is the right model.”
At present, there are more than 2000 trainees in the whole country. They are honed with knowledge and skills which could give them necessary occupations in the near future.
