MANILA (PNA) -- Twenty inmates from Puerto Princesa City Jail have received a National Certificate (NC) II from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for passing the agency’s assessment of their chosen courses.

TESDA has signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) recently with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) for a project called Integration Through Skills Development.

The project aims to provide the inmates with skills training which they could use upon their release from prison.

Under this project, the families of inmates are also given the skills training.

TESDA Director General plans to provide skills training to inmates nationwide. It may be recalled that the project was initially done at the Makati City Jail.

Among the short courses offered by TESDA were Electrical Installation and Maintenance, Bread and Pastry Production, Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Massage Therapy and Tiles Setting which fall under the NC II level.
