Metro 3rd welcomes today (February 9, 2021) 14 new graduates, all Silay City residents, of the digitalJobsPH technical training of the Department of Information and Communication Technology (DICT).

Undergoing both virtual and face-to-face instruction from December 10, 2020 to February 9, 2021, from accredited technical trainer and assessor, the scholars-graduates will now be ready for on-line free-lancing opportunities – gainful virtual assistance work with either local or international IT outfits, and will be recognized as the “new OFWs” of the new normal IT era.

The tripartite agreement for coordination and cooperation with the DICT, the Office of Congressman Francisco Benitez and the local government units of the
Third District have paved the way for the smooth implementation of the digitaljobsPH technical training program district-wide.
