Interested? Prepare Your Requirements Early

With only 9 slots reportedly remaining, applicants who meet the qualifications may want to complete their requirements early. Scholarship slots are limited, and submitting documents does not automatically guarantee acceptance because applicants may still need to undergo verification or screening.

This TESDA-supported training provides an opportunity to learn practical forklift-operation skills without paying the regular training and assessment costs, while also receiving a daily training allowance during the program.
