SMC to expand skills training program

San Miguel Corporation (SMC), in partnership with the Technical Education Skills and Development Authority (TESDA), is expanding its skills training program for Taliptip residents to include more all residents of Bulacan. In a statement, SMC said the pilot batch of former Taliptip residents trainees are looking to graduate very soon from their skills training under TESDA and the firm will soon open the program to more Bulacan residents in the next coming months. With positive feedback coming from the initial 60 enrollees, SMC President Ramon S. Ang said SMC and TESDA have already been receiving a lot of inquiries for the succeeding batches. “We are very pleased with the reports that the initial batch of enrollees who are formerly from Barangay Taliptip are very eager to learn and are doing well in their training,” he said. Ang added that, “We appreciate their effort in learning new skills during the pandemic as this shows their eagerness and pride to participate in a game-changer of a project that will not only benefit them, but also the generations to come.
