GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Feb. 9 (PIA) -- A total of 84 individuals from General Santos City who underwent Basic AutoCAD Software Training in January this year  received  from  Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio  their certificates of completion under the SHEEP (Shelter, Health, Education, Environment and Peace and Order) Computer Literacy Program (CLP) of the city government.
SHEEP-CLP head, Percival Pasuelo said the graduates included public secondary school teachers, information communication and technology (ICT) coordinators, job order (JO) government workers, and technical-vocational (tech-voc) and drafting teachers who were trained to document, draft, and design using the computer.
Pasuelo said the city government offered the training for free to empower public institutions especially students in public elementary and high school with the knowledge and skills in information technology without monetary counterpart.
“For AutoCad training few sessions of this could actually cost each participant thousands of pesos, but under the SHEEP-CLP we trained teachers and ICT coordinators on how to use this software for free so they can also pass the same knowledge to their students,” he explained.
Pasuelo said the autoCAD training is part of Mayor Custodio’s “series of level-up trainings under the SHEEP-CLP in preparing the teachers and students to be competitive globally.”
Earlier, Media Affairs Officer, Avel Manansala disclosed that the SHEEP-CLP is one of the major development thrusts of the present administration to prepare the city for effective domestic and global engagements, as envisioned by former Mayor Adelbert Antonino.
Meanwhile, Pasuelo revealed that another autocad training will be conducted this summer to public high school students who are decided to take architecture course in college.
He encouraged concerned students to grab the opportunity to utilize and maximize the power of ICT to shape their future.
“We urged the students to stay away from useless hobby this summer and instead be productive by enrolling in the said training to equip them with the right knowledge before they go to college,” he added. (PGFruylan/PIA-Gensan)
