He stressed that the main goal of TESDA’s training programs is to capacitate individuals with quality technical education so that they can be employed in different industries or start their own livelihood.
“We believe that one way to be successful in life is to be educated, that’s the reason why you have undergone this technical education or training and we believe also that to be successful later on in life, we have to be employed. That is the purpose – for you to be employed,” Murphy said.
Dalog praised the graduates for not only attending their respective classes but for passing their assessment and for patiently waiting for the starter kits. She advised the beneficiaries to apply what they have learned and to use said kits for their intended purpose.
“Naragsak kami ta haan you lang inan-anusan you ang inatendaran jai klase you, inpasa you pay jai assessment yo ken inan-anusan yo nga inur-uray ti one year jai toolkits you tapnu ma-iaaply yo nga dagus jai inadal yo… Usaren yo, iaaply yu jai inadal yu” she said.
Luisa Malogdos, one of the beneficiaries, expressed her thanks to TESDA and to Office of the Congressman for their help and for the starter toolkits that would enhance their skills and productivity.
