Tesda to train drug users, pushers

THE Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda), a government agency tasked to promote and implement skills training programs in the country, will open its training centers all over the country to help drug dependents and dealers get hooked on a different addiction --skills training.

“This is in response to reports that convicts and inmates resort to their old trades after serving time in jail because they have no other means of livelihood,” Guiling Mamondiong, Tesda director general, said.
