SUBJECT: TESDA Technical & Vocational Training
Let us help the Mambulaoan youths acquire trade skills through TESDA
THE purpose of this article is to provide information to our Kababayans and other Good Samaritans on how to assist / help our poor and deserving Mambulaoan youths acquire trade skills through job-focused vocational training programs offered by TESDA . The aim is to enhance their chance of getting good-paying jobs.
Their training will come through a scholarship program that LaPIMa has already initiated.
Likewise, the LaPIMa scholarship scheme is being offered as the template for future educational scholarship for Mambulaoans.

5. Work Demands:
As we all know, war-torn Libya will soon need thousands of skilled workers like welders, electricians, masons, air-con technicians, steel fabricators and multi-craft men to rebuild their refineries and damaged oil/gas pipelines, government buildings , etc. Also other foreign countries that continuously industrialize to answer domestic and international demands like China, Middle East, Papua New Guinea will always require Filipino skilled workers .
These are the bright prospects, another horizon for a better source of income to help a Mambulaoan achieve a better life if given the chance to capture and win the initial opportunity -- TESDA Scholarship.
Let us help them.
