COTABATO CITY—Eighty (80) scholars from Lanao del Sur finished their Technical-Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education – Technical Education and Skills Development (MBHTE-TESD).
On Aug. 26, 2021, the graduates, composed of 20 carpentry and 20 masonry scholars, received their certificates in Marawi City.
This came after they finished more than 30 days of training and subsequently passing two (2) qualifications under the nationally funded Training for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP).
As part of their scholarship package, a training support fund worth Php4,360.00 and Php6,280.00 were also given to graduates of carpentry and masonry, respectively.
Aleida Mangata, provincial director of MBHTE-TESD Lanao del Sur, extended her congratulations to the scholars.
“Ito po ay araw ng pagpupugay namin sa inyong pagsisikap na tapusin ang skills training. Batid po namin na hindi lahat ng kabataang Bangsamoro ay may oportunidad na makapag-aral o makapagtapos ng pag-aaral dahil sa iba’t ibang kadahilanan,” Mangata said.
“Kaya po hiniling ko sa ating partner TVI-AMIN-taci na bigyan kayo ng pagkakataon [na] makapagsuot ng toga para mas maramdaman po ninyo ang inyong graduation,” she added.
Meanwhile, in a video message, TESDA National Secretary Isidro Lapeña also encouraged the graduates to make use of the skills they acquired in the training. (Bangsamoro Information Office)
