STA. BARBARA– The training arm of the Department of Agriculture (DA) in the region, the Agricultural Training Institute- Regional Training Center 1 (ATI-RTC1), promoted the use of technology during the Skills Enhancement Training on Computer-Internet Literacy for agricultural extension workers (AEWs).

Thirty AEWs from Pangasinan and La Union participated in the five-day training at the ATI-RTC, last May 11-15, 2015.

“The training aimed to equip and strengthen the capabilities of AEWs for a more effective and efficient delivery of programs and to update AEWs on new technology available for knowledge sharing and learning, ICT-based tools in agriculture, and the e-learning component of the e-extension program,” said Maricel Dacapias, ATI-RTC1 information officer.

The training also focused on creating an electronic and interactive bridge where farmers, fishermen, and other stakeholders meet and transact to enhance productivity, profitability, and global competitiveness. (Johanne Macob)
