BUTUAN CITY — A total of 94 trainees from the Butuan Manpower Training Center (BMTC) successfully completed their skills training programs and received their certificates during an awarding ceremony held at the SM Event Center Butuan as part of the Trabaho Butuan 2026 job fair. The training equipped participants with practical skills essential for finding employment, with many graduates also benefiting from the Trabaho Butuan 2026 job fair, where they were given the opportunity to seek jobs immediately after completing their training.
Inclusive Training Programs for All, Including Persons with Disabilities
Among the graduates was Reyvin Dagani, a blind applicant who applied as an administrative assistant at the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). For Reyvin, the program was a significant help as it also provided opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) to learn new skills and prepare for employment. "This is not just for regular people, but we, PWDs, also have the opportunity. Especially since we also graduated from the SPARKS Program of DICT Caraga. We were encouraged, supported, and prepared for the job fair," Reyvin shared.
Diverse Training Programs Completed by Graduates
Of the 94 trainees, 22 completed the 15-day Driving Training, 32 finished the 10-day Auto-Electrical Training, and 40 PWDs who are members of the SPARKS Program completed the 5-day Footwear Making Training. The Footwear Making Training was implemented through a partnership between the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) and TESDA. Through these programs, the City Government of Butuan continues to provide initiatives that enhance the skills of Butuanons and open more employment opportunities for the community.
