Among the biggest worries of an OFW who have been retrenched, or underwent emergency repatriation is that, where will they get the money to sustain the needs of their family?
Most household service workers endure maltreatment for the sake of earning a slightly bigger salary overseas because that is the only job they know and they don't have other skills to make them qualified for another job.
TESDA has been changing these things by providing skills training to upgrade the skills of Filipino workers to make the competitive here and abroad.
TESDA launched an emergency skills training program for returning OFWs with variety of courses to choose from.
Roberto Abad is an OFW from Africa. The skills training program can help him a lot to start a livelihood in the Philippines. He took up baking course. After the training, he can put up his own bakery business with the skills he acquired from the program.
