MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Aug 1 (PIA) -- The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) here is conducting a six-day training to capacitate existing technical-vocational (tecvoc) trainers on entrepreneurship development.
Trainers from 23 technical institutions in the province participated in the training which started July 28 and will culminate tomorrow, August 2, said TESDA Provincial Director Tarhata Mapandi.
She said the training aims to strengthen the capacity of technical institutions in the delivery of entrepreneurship-related competencies and in providing training for their clients, especially the youth.
According to Mapandi, the conduct of entrepreneurship development training is in relation to the implementation of the cash for training program or C4TP.
Early in June, TESDA in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in the province launched the C4TP to offer sustainable intervention to empower and improve the plight of poor youth.
Aside from skills training opportunities, the C4TP also provides job facilitation and entrepreneurial support to identified beneficiaries.
It is being implemented in two independent components, namely, training for wage employment (trabaho) and training for self employment (hanapbuhay).
The C4TP benefits 657 youth in the province. Of this number, 185 beneficiaries are allocated for wage employment while 492 are for self-employment.
