THE office of the President, through the Department of Social
Welfare and Development, will be giving away more than a thousand
vocational scholarships to deserving public high-school students in
Metro Manila to boost the country’s employment sector.
Supported by the Metro Manila Spouses
Foundation, together with the Ricky Reyes Learning Institute, Guzman
Institute of Technology and the Samson Tech and Technology Resource
Center, the project is dubbed as “Skill 2D Max, The Youth
Alternative Education Campus Tour.”
The project will be launched on Wednesday at the
Ramon Magsaysay High School in Quezon City with Social Welfare
Secretary Esperanza Cabral as special guest.
A roving caravan will tour public high schools
in Quezon City, Mandaluyong City, Marikina City, Las Piñas City,
Muntinlupa, Manila, Pasig City, Taguig and Parañaque City to
showcase a trade exposition of the most in-demand skills and
employment opportunities in the country and abroad.
Seeking to bring out the best in the potential
of the Filipino youth of today, the project aims to explore a
different avenue to which fourth-year public high-school students
can excel and eventually contribute to the nation.
“Education is wealth. We hope that through
this school tour we will be able to answer the youth’s dilemma on
where to go after graduating from high school regardless of their
status in life,” Ricky Reyes, founder and owner of the Ricky Reyes
Learning Institute, said.
