PESO holds 7th mobile skills training in Infanta
LINGAYEN– Forty-six residents of Infanta town received training on electrical work and carpenty when the 7th leg of the Mobile Skills Training Project (MSTP) came to town.
The MSTP, a major program of the Provincial Employment Services Office (PESO), trained 28 on electrical installation while 18 were trained on carpentry through a 22-day training in partnership with the Technical Vocational and Skills Development Authority- Pangasinan Field Office (TESDA – PFO) and the local government unit of Infanta.
PESO Manager Alex Ferrer, representing Gov. Amado Espino III at the graduation ceremony on July 17 at the Evacuation Center, said the provincial government‘s MSTP is proof that it is keen on promoting barangay-based programs and services.
“Governor Espino not only prioritizes his health agenda thru the Kalusugan Karaban. He is also aggressive in levelling up the province’s manpower development programs,” Ferrer said.
Ferrer said each of the MSTP graduates received either P2,000 for processing of employment requirements or a livelihood starter kit.
Vice Mayor Virgilio Vallarta lauded the MSTP for directly assisting barangay residents to gain employment or start their own businesses.
It was learned that as part of their training, the trainees visited five schools in the town to repair classrooms.
Also present at the graduation, were Mildred Hernandez, employment and services officer of Infanta; Erwin Quinton, president of the Overseas Filipino Workers association; and Johny Labasan, community-based training focal person from TESDA – PFO.
Since it was launched in September 2017, the MSTP has visited seven towns: Bugallon, Sison, Lingayen, Calasiao, Pozorrubio, Manaoag, and Infanta and trained 250 out-of-school youth and unemployed adults. (PIO/MGNO)
