TESDA Interim Regional Director for NIR Niña Connie Dodd met with Governor Bong Lacson at the Capitol yesterday to discuss a proposed skills training program for internally displaced persons (IDPs) seeking temporary shelter at evacuation centers in La Castellana, La Carlota, and Bago City.

Governor Lacson expressed his support for TESDA’s community-based training initiatives, noting that the programs would be feasible following the skills mapping conducted by the Negros Occidental Technology and Livelihood Development Training and the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office, which will serve as a valuable reference for the training programs.

Also present at the meeting were Negros Occidental Provincial Administrator Atty. Rayfrando Diaz, Negros Occidental Language and IT Center (NOLITC) Administrator Dr. Ma. Cristina Orbecido, and PSWDO Head Chiqui Gonzales, and TESDA Focal Person for LGU Linkages Jason Tupas, among others.*
