MANILA, Philippines — Almost 12,000 repatriated Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) have acquired training under the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) programs, the agency said on Monday.
Tesda said that 11,935 repatriated OFWs were “upskilled” and “reskilled” for 2022.
Most of these OFWs enrolled in the top courses such as “Practicing COVID-19 Preventive Measures in the Workplace,” “Introduction to Caregiving,” and “Providing Housekeeping Services.”
“Those who returned after losing their jobs [overseas] were given a training program to give them new skills when they decide to either return to their foreign employment or decide to work here,” said Tesda Director General Danilo Cruz in a statement.—Mae Anne Bilolo, INQUIRER.net intern
