The Technical Institute of Iloilo City Molo Campus is offering free computer literacy training to residents who want to develop their digital skills and become more competitive in the workforce.

Interested applicants should submit an original copy of Barangay Certificate of Residency; photocopy of Voter’s Certificate; photocopy of Birth Certificate; photocopy of Vaccination Card; two pieces 1×1 ID picture; two brown envelopes; and pay registration fee of P150.

The program is scheduled Monday to Friday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., at the TIIC Computer Laboratory, M.H. del Pilar Street, Molo, under trainer Ronnie Boy Albor.

The computer literacy training provides an opportunity for out-of-school youths, unemployed, first-time job seekers and displaced workers to enhance their skills in online learning as well as engage in cyber communities such as Google Apps, Zoom and other applications that align with employment and career pathways.

“The TIIC Molo Campus is offering this program to our fellow Ilonggos to [help them] be knowledgeable in terms of operating computers, assembling and disassembling computer parts, navigating the Internet and using software applications that are helpful to them,” TIIC Molo institution representative Kurt Arthur Nietes said.

“TIIC Molo already offers quality and free livelihood and skills training through the competency-based programs or Technical-Vocational and Education Trainings. We are encouraging everyone to apply for these courses as it will not only give them opportunities for future employment, but also help them gain lifetime skills and knowledge that will help them be more empowered, resilient and economically developed,” Nietes added.

The city government purchased 25 computer units and installed 50mbps of Internet connection in 2021 to level up the trainings.
