MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0—\u00a0More than 8,000 indigenous people (IP) were provided with skills training by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) as of September.<\/p>\n

It may be recalled that last February, TESDA has forged partnership with the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) to provide skills training to the IP.<\/p>\n

The said partnership aims to help the IP improve their lives and become more competitive and productive individuals.<\/p>\n

Among the courses that TESDA provides are haircutting, beauty care and nail care (NC II), bread making (NC II), driving (NC II), hilot or wellness massage (NC II), masonry (COC\/NC II), carpentry (NC II), cookery (NC II), welding (NC I), electrical installation and maintenance (NC II).<\/p>\n

Based on TESDA’s records, 8,536 IPs were provided with skills training. \u2029\u2029Of the said figure, 2,869 were from Region 11.<\/p>\n

Caraga has 1,669; Cordillera Administrative Region has 1,599; Region 12 has 810.\u2029\u2029Region 4 has 690; Region 1 has 343; Region 6 has 194; Region 5 has 173; Region 2 has 148; Region 10 has 25 and Region 8 has 16.<\/p>\n

TESDA noted that the National Capital Region (NCR), Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), Region 3, as well as Region 9 have not enlisted any IP to be given free skills training.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, TESDA Director Guiling Mamondiong said he expects more IPs will be interested to undergo the free skills training that the agency provides.<\/p>\n

It may also be recalled that under Mamondiong’s leadership, a 14-point agenda was placed and the IP is among its focus.<\/p>\n

The 14-point agenda is a framework designed to cater to the needs of identified groups such as urban and rural poor, farmers, fisher folks, women, rebel returnees\/combatants, drug dependents, repatriated overseas Filipino workers, out-of-school youths, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), family enterprises, local government units and IP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
