The Baguio PWD Cooperative held a closing program on September 22, 2026, to celebrate members' completion of the 12-Day Community-Based Training on Bread and Pastry Production (BPP) NC II.

Held from September 7 to 19 at the Baguio Orchidarium Cafรฉ, the hands-on training empowered 18 participantsโ€”including four cafรฉ staff membersโ€”with essential skills in bread, pastry, cake, and petit four production. Throughout the program, the participants demonstrated incredible passion, dedication, and eagerness to learn, proving that disability is no barrier to excellence.

This initiative was designed not only to build practical skills but also to foster sustainable livelihood, employment opportunities, entrepreneurship, and long-term economic empowerment for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).

The TESDA Provincial Training Center (PTC) โ€“ Benguet spearheaded the training in partnership with the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) Baguio, following an initiative by the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) Baguio Head, Mr. Sam Aquino. Through this joint effort, participants received expert instruction, a supportive learning environment, and all the tools, materials, and ingredients needed to succeed.

During the closing program, Mr. Ferdinand Montaรฑez of PTC-Benguet emphasized that the partnership does not end with the completion of the training. He shared that more activities are already being lined up, including opportunities for participants to avail of the National Assessment and pursue further training in Cookery, allowing them to continuously enhance their competencies and explore more opportunities for employment and livelihood.

The successful completion of the training marks not an ending, but another step toward greater skills, confidence, and opportunities for the members of the Baguio PWD Cooperative.

Forty-five (45) Child Development Workers (CDWs) from the Municipality of Itogon formally completed their Community-Based Training (CBT) program, "Computer in the Workplace cm Training in Basic Data Processing," through the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Provincial Office of Benguet, culminating in a closing program held at ITC, Bua, Itogon, Benguet on September 16, 2026.

Beyond their core ECCDS training, the program placed special emphasis on computer literacy and basic data-processing skills increasingly essential in day-to-day childcare work, from maintaining learner records and preparing reports to accessing online resources for lesson planning and continuing education.

The "Computer in the Workplace cm Training in Basic Data Processing" component was designed to ensure that CDWs are not only skilled in nurturing and caring for young learners, but are also equipped to navigate the digital tools now integral to modern childcare service delivery, helping bridge the gap between traditional caregiving roles and the demands of a more digitally connected work environment.

The closing program was attended by Acting Provincial Director Arlene Cadalig, Hon. Bernard S. Waclin, and other Itogon officials, who gathered to celebrate the culmination of dedicated training.

APD Cadalig commended the CDWs for their commitment to upskilling despite the demands of their daily work, stressing that continuous training is essential to ensure Itogon's children receive care and early education of the highest standard.

She also highlighted the importance of investing in the country's early childhood workforce, noting that CDWs play a foundational role in shaping children's development during their most critical years. She encouraged the new NC III holders to continue honing their skills, pursue further learning opportunities, and serve as models of professionalism within their communities.

Representatives from the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Itogon likewise expressed appreciation for TESDA's continued partnership in capacitating the municipality's CDWs, recognizing the direct impact of this training on the quality of childcare services available to Itogon families.

Itogon Mayor Bernard S. Waclin also graced the closing program and delivered a message of gratitude and encouragement to the completers. He emphasized that the program is genuine, tangible support from the government reaching Itogon's frontline childcare workers.

The Mayor further noted that investing in the CDWs is investing in the future of Itogon's children, and assured the completers of the local government's continued support for programs that uplift the skills and welfare of its workers. He thanked TESDA Benguet for bringing accessible, quality training directly to the municipality, and encouraged the CDWs to apply what they learned in service of their communities. The Mayor also called on the completers to inspire their fellow CDWs and residents to take advantage of similar training opportunities, and reaffirmed the LGU's commitment to partnering with national agencies like TESDA to bring more livelihood and skills programs to Itogon.

TESDA Benguet reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining and expanding Community-Based Training programs across the province, ensuring that frontline workers such as CDWs continue to receive relevant, high-quality, and accessible technical-vocational education.

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Provincial Office-Benguet successfully conducted a Skills Training Capacitation Activity for Local Government Unit (LGU)-designated Community Training and Employment Coordinators (CTECs), gathering 13 CTECs representing municipalities across Benguet on September 15, 2026, at the Benguet Provincial Capitol.

The activity aims to strengthen CTECs' capacity to coordinate, monitor, and implement community-based technical-vocational education and training (TVET) programs at the local level, supporting TESDA's mandate to bring skills training closer to Benguet communities.

In her message, TESDA Provincial Director Arlene Cadalig emphasized the vital role of CTECs as TESDA's frontline partners in the barangays and municipalities.

APD Cadalig further encouraged the participants to actively identify skills gaps in their respective localities, strengthen linkages between LGUs and TESDA, and champion inclusive and responsive skills training programs for their communities

The capacitation covered topics such as:

Coordination and Partnership Building; Program Registration and Competency Assessment Updates; Recognition of Community-Based Trainers ; Duties in planning, organizing, managing, and monitoring CBTED programs at the LGU level, among others.

Representatives from the 13 CTECs actively participated in the discussions, reaffirming their commitment to support skills development initiatives in their respective localities.

TESDA Provincial Office-Benguet continues to strengthen its partnership with LGUs to ensure accessible, relevant, and quality technical-vocational training for every Benguet resident.
