THE PROVINCIAL government of Negros Occidental donated a P6-million training facility to the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority in Cadiz City.

The building was recently inaugurated and turned over by the province. It will be used as a classroom and dormitory.

The dormitory can accommodate 32 trainees.

TESDA-Western Visayas regional director Jerry Tizon thanked the provincial government headed by Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson for its support.

“This project is a dream come true for the scholars and implementers of the training program because the center can now accommodate trainees who are from far-flung areas,” he said in a statement.

The dormitory and classroom building, which has a total floor area of 260 square meters, includes a pantry, a classroom, a multi-purpose hall, two restrooms, and two quarters.

TESDA-Negros Occidental acting provincial director Romelia Nuezca acknowledged the support of the province to the agency’s thrust of providing quality and inclusive technical education and skills to Negrenses.

Provincial Engineer Ernie Mapa said that one of Lacson’s priorities is to uplift the education of Negrenses.
