EIGHTY scholars of the Technical Education and Skills Development of the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education have completed their training.

They received their certificates after finishing 30 days of training under the Training for Work Scholarship Program.

Half of the graduates took up carpentry, while the rest took up masonry.

“Aside from the certificates, the graduates also received their training support fund which was part of their scholarship package amounting to P4,360 and P6,280 for carpentry and masonry, respectively,” MBHTE said on Facebook.

An official from MBHTE said that the program is in line with their advocacy to provide education to the Bangsamoro youth.

“Batid po namin na hindi lahat ng kabataang Bangsamoro ay may oportunidad na makapag-aral o makapagtapos ng pag-aaral dahil sa iba’t ibang kadahilanan. Kaya po hiniling ko sa ating partner TVI-AMIN-taci na bigyan kayo ng pagkakataon [na] makapagsuot ng toga para mas maramdaman po ninyo ang inyong graduation,” MBHTE-TESD Lanao Provincial Director Aleida Mangata said.

“Ito po ay araw ng pagpupugay namin sa inyong pagsisikap na tapusin ang skills training,” Mangata added.
