Develop Your Skills, Enroll at TESDA

Pidigan, Abra — Many have flunked and quit school because they are poor in English or Math. However, language, number and other mind intelligence are not the only options to earn for a living today but more on possessing skills and developing them.

Rodulfo Bragas, Administrator of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Provincial Training Center here, said as he invites individuals to enroll in their training courses.

There are many adults who have not completed their basic education and out-of-school youth who wanted to go to school but are embarrassed to do so. Because of that, they are left with no choice but become low-wage workers over strenuous labor, he stated.

“But that was before. Now they can come here in TESDA. Learn new skills, enroll in courses, go abroad and make money.”

He added that they have already produced many graduates in Automotive NC1 and NC2, Welding NC1 and NC2, Electrical Installation and Maintenance and others who are now in Australia, Canada and other regions.

With availability of the center’s facility and equipment, Bragas said they expect to produce 1,500 course completers this year and even more in the coming years.

“The wealthiest people in the world today are known for their skills that they developed to the utmost. Some even were college dropouts. That is why we encourage people to enroll in TESDA,” Bragas said.(JDP/SBB-PIA CAR)
