Davao Light's Project B.E.S.T trains residents of Brgy. Maa

Davao Light and Power Co. trained residents of Brgy. Maa through its Project Basic Electrician Skills Training (Project B.E.S.T) starting last February 6, 2017 until February 26, 2017.


Project B.E.S.T. is a community-based skills training program, which is being implemented by Davao Light in partnership with the Aboitiz Foundation Inc. and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority or TESDA-Sur/Davao City with support from JCI Central Davao. Those who finish the course and pass the assessment will be given a Certificate of Competency or National Certificate 2 (NC2).

 

The beneficiaries are mostly out-of-school-youths, barangay workers and community residents who are interested to become electricians.


Project B.E.S.T. will help the beneficiaries learn a skill which can help them work as an electrician and earn additional income.” said Fermin Edillon, Davao Light Community Relations Manager.


Project B.E.S.T. will continue to reach out to more communities, creating more electricians especially in the far flung areas.
