CAMIGUIN (PIA) — Empowering the local workforce, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Camiguin conducted two tool kit distribution events for graduates of vocational courses, bolstering its commitment to community development and vocational education.
“This initiative not only equips individuals with practical skills but also underscores the commitment of TESDA and its partners to empower communities through accessible vocational education and support programs,” said TESDA Camiguin OIC Provincial Director Erna Amores.
On June 11, TESDA Camiguin distributed 21 tool kits to graduates of the Provincial Training Center-Camiguin (PTC-Camiguin) who completed courses in Masonry NC I. Christina T. Loquias, representing Gov. Xavier Jesus Romualdo, Catarman Mayor Kiterio Antonio Palarca III, and officials from PTC-Camiguin, led by Acting Administrator Alma Democer, graced the event.
Just a few days later, on June 14, TESDA Camiguin distributed 85 tool kits to graduates of the Camiguin School of Arts and Trades (CSAT) who completed courses in Construction Painting NC II, Prepare Cold Meals, and Produce Organic Concoctions and Extracts. This distribution event was attended by Shella Babanto, representing Gov. Xavier Jesus Romualdo, alongside Argenito Sabacajan, Jr., representing Mayor Yñigo Jesus Romualdo, and key officials from CSAT, led by Vocational School Administrator Karol Sanggomay Ranalan.
Scholars enrolled in the 2023 Special Training for Employment Program (STEP Scholarship), funded through Congressman Jurdin Jesus M. Romualdo’s congressional allocation, were the beneficiaries of both events.
“This initiative not only equips individuals with practical skills but also underscores TESDA’s and its partners’ commitment to empowering communities through accessible vocational education and support programs,” Amores added.
Louis Emmanuel M. Martho ensured that the distributions were executed smoothly. Amores said these events show TESDA’s dedication to local development by providing vocational training and the tools graduates need for success. (RTP/PIA-10/Camiguin)
