Beneficiaries of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Training for Better Access to Job Opportunities (TraBAJO) program were recently sent to undergo housekeeping qualification training, during a ceremony at the Bacolod City Government Center, last Wednesday.

A total of 170 will begin training on September 11, which will run for 436 hours, or 54 days.

The trainees will receive training at either the Visayan Maritime Academy (VMA) Global College, Excelsius Technical and Vocational Training Center, Inc., or the First Academy of Skills and Technology.

Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia addressed those gathered, saying, “Housekeeping will always play a very vital role in any hotel or accommodation facility.”

The sendoff rites were spearheaded by the Bacolod City Public Employment Service Office (PESO)./WDJ
