The Elsie Gaches Village (EGV) participated in the Hilot training provided by the Technical Institute – TESDA last May 22- July 5, 2019 held at the EGV productivity area.

Twenty-five (25) residents consisting of 16 females and 9 males under the upper trainable cottage have completed the course with 20 sessions including On-the-Job training. The first two weeks of the training focused on the lecture and actual demonstration on how to properly do the activity. The modules used by the MCTI-TESDA were all appropriate and convenient for the level of comprehensions of the participants, considering their special conditions.

The participants were evaluated based on the skills and performances they showed during the Hilot training. The grades were submitted and evaluated by the EGV Productivity supervisor, Ms. Teresa Miclat.

A simple graduation ceremony was prepared to give the residents acknowledgement and special awards for their hard work and cooperation all throughout the training activity.

As a result of the 30-day training, the residents showed improvements on their capacity, acquired new skills, increased their attention span, learned how to focus, gained self-confidence, and showed improved ability to interact with different people.

The activity aims to provide the residents of EGV skills training that may use in socializing and in managing their attitude and behavior towards work. ###
