OWWA 9 expands its Tulay Program


By Mary Jane Amarado

The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Region 9 pushes for the expansion of its Tulay Program in other municipalities within the region.

Just recently, Tulay Program Instructor Najib Salapuddin conducted a 3-day Office Productivity (OP) Program at St. Joseph College in Sindangan Zamboanga Del Norte on April 18 to 20 wherein 30 OFW-Dependents graduated the course.

The project aims to bridge communication gap through the use of internet between OFWs and their families and to provide free information and communication technology skills training.

The participants were equipped with the knowledge on Computer Fundamentals, MS Word, MS Powerpoint, MS Excel and Internet.

The conduct of the training is in view of the agency’s 2012 action plan to provide computer skills training to OFW dependents who cannot attend the free training at the Computer Training & Learning Center (CTLC) in Zamboanga City. (MJA/OWWA9/PIA9/ALT)
