SUBIC BAY FREEPORT ZONE, March 23 (PNA) -- In its effort to provide livelihood opportunities to its host communities, Redondo Peninsula Energy Inc. (RP Energy) officially launched on Friday its "Galing Pinoy" skills training program in Zambales. | |||
The program aims to uplift the economic status of the relocated residents of Sitio Naglatore, Barangay Cawag in Subic, Zambales. | |||
The Galing Pinoy program, in partnership with the Technical Education & Skills Development Authority (TESDA)-Zambales, will provide families relocated from Sitio Naglatore training sessions that will focus on shielded metal arc wielding, carpentry, masonry, and electrical installation and maintenance. | |||
“With this program, we are able to show the communities how that RP Energy is committed in giving their families economic opportunities through skills development aside from the compensation that they received from the relocation,” Grant Smith, RP Energy project director/manager, said. | |||
RP Energy Inc., is a coal-power generated firm that will put up an energy-power generated investment in Redondo Peninsula which is a major investor of the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. | |||
“By equipping the head of the family with proper skills, they are ensured that their employability will increase,” he said. | |||
Apart from shouldering the cost of the training, RP Energy will also provide the participants an allowance throughout the duration of the program, which is 139 days. | |||
“We believe that we will be able to empower communities by providing them the opportunity to harness their skills in order to have better job opportunities,” Smith said. | |||
RP Energy plans to expand the Galing Pinoy program in the future to be not just for the relocated residents of Sitio Naglatore, but also to qualified and deserving residents of Olongapo, Subic, and Zambales. | |||
