SENATOR Christopher ‘Bong’ Go stressed that Technical and Vocational Education and Training are designed to close the skills gap and guarantee that Filipinos from all economic backgrounds can acquire pertinent and sought-after skills

Go highlighted the significant role of TVET in the country’s progress because this will enable them to find meaningful employment and play a part in boosting the country’s economic development.

The senator made the statement as he assisted 600 beneficiaries of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority program in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.

Go expressed his support for the efforts of the local government in boosting economic opportunities in their communities.

The graduation was held at Padre Gregorio Crisostomo Integrated School where Go’s Malasakit Team provided all graduates with shirts and balls for basketball and volleyball, as well as shoes and a mobile phone to select recipients.

The senator also filed Senate Bill 2115 to institutionalize TVET and livelihood programs for rehabilitated drug dependents.

The bill seeks to provide skills training and enhance the employability of former drug dependents, allowing them to rebuild their lives and contribute to their communities.
