Better opportunities for local or foreign employment await 563 graduates of vocational and technical courses offered by the Las Piñas City Manpower and Training Center.
Las Piñas City Mayor Vergel Aguilar said the graduates may even start their own businesses. Aguilar added that the city government will always find means to improve the living conditions of all Las Piñeros.
He said the free training on various courses is aimed at helping the residents find gainful employment or start their own home-based or backyard business to augment their families’ meager income.
The Manpower Training Center offers automotive servicing; commercial cooking; consumer electronics; food and beverages services; hairdressing; massage therapy; personal computer operations; refrigeration and air-conditioner servicing; shielded metal arc welding, industrial electricity, cell-phone repair, housekeeping and travel services.
Aguilar said the center offers these training services to out-of-school youths and unemployed adults.
The graduates were trained for various courses and specializations. These graduates are now ready to give quality and world-class service in all parts of the globe, he added.
Aguilar encouraged out-of-school youths and those unemployed to avail themselves of the free skills-training program to further enhance their skills and capabilities to gain employment. Those who have additional training courses or specialization on courses have better opportunities to immediately gain employment, he said.
