CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela (PIA) - - At least 50 skills trainees from the coastal town of Dinapigue received starter toolkits from Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).

TESDA Regional Director Archie Grande handed the starter toolkits in the town with  4th District Congresswoman Alyssa Sheena Tan.

Grande said the starter toolkits are given free to the TESDA scholars who have successfully completed the training to be used in their chosen skills.

The TESDA trainees completed Carpentry NC II conducted by Isabela School of Arts and Trades (ISAT) and Agricultural Crops Production NC II that was conducted by Pia Agri Tourism and Skills Development Center, Incorporated.

“We want our graduates in TESDA to be productive after the training and these toolkits should be used in your chosen endeavor to earn income for your family,” Grande said.

He said TESDA wants all interested Isabelenos to undergo skills training to become productive with their tool kits through the agency's accredited training schools. (BME/MGE/PIA Isabela)
