Davao de Oro --- The Technical and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) in Davao de Oro provides free skills training to the troops from the Philippine Army (PA) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to capacitate them in becoming a TVET trainer in community development.
The program aims to bring services and increase the numbers of skilled workers in remote areas and create more livelihood opportunities to attain inclusive and sustainable peace in the province.
About twenty-eight participants coming from the 25th FIREBALL Infantry Battalion (IB), 66th KABALIKAT IB, 60th MEDIATOR IB, 71st KAIBIGAN IB and PNP Revitalized Police Sa Barangay (RCSB) who go through the skills training on Organic Agriculture Production NC II and Trainers Methodology Level I.
Meanwhile, the trained personnel will help TESDA in imparting knowledge and skills on agri-related courses in empowering former rebels and Indigenous People (IPs) in maximizing the rich land resources in their areas. (Provincial Information Office- Rheafe Hortizano, Photo courtesy of TESDA DdO)
