Tagum’s IP leaders acquire basic computer literacy

TO boost the efficiency in inter-agency communications by the city's local indigenous people (IP) community, Tagum City’s tribal leaders are now being equipped with basic skills and literacy in using the computer and it’s basic applications.

In partnership with the City Government of Tagum, the University Mindanao-Tagum College (UMTC) offered a free training on Basic Computer Literacy for Tribal Leaders, featuring a series of seminar workshops that will teach the participants on how to use the computer and some of its essential applications for business communication such as MS Word and PowerPoint.

This activity falls under the banner project of the UMTC Department of Engineering Education Community Extension Service, coordinating with the City Tribal and Muslim Affairs Office and City Literacy Coordinating Council for the conduct of the training.

Complete with highquality facilities and computer, the UMTC Computer Laboratory serves as a conducive venue for the workshop, maximizing the effectiveness of learning how to deal with basic computer applications through interactive hands-on training.

The first set of workshop was scheduled last September 2, 2017, was attended by a number of tribal leaders composed of 22 barangay tribal chieftains, three barangay IPMRs, four federated presidents (youth, women, elder, bagani), and 22 barangay tribal secretaries.

The training on Basic Computer Literacy for Tribal Leaders is scheduled every Saturday afternoon and runs until October 14, 2017.
