Lingayen, Pangasinan—The first batch of 141 students have graduated from the Pangasinan Polytechnic College (PPC) recently and are now armed with the knowledge and skill that will make them competitive enough to be employed.
The school founded through Gov. Ramon Guico III aims to provide free education where students are armed with skills, making them competent enough for in-demand jobs.
By establishing the school, the governor hopes to inspire and empower the youth by providing opportunities for self-discovery.
Gov. Guico firmly believes that PPC is not just an idle dream but an attainable reality for professional as well as personal growth.
With the governor’s strong support for PPC and the strengthened partnership with TESDA, Pangasinan now has a pool of skilled graduates who have undergone the Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM) NC II program.
More opportunities await Pangasinenses since PPC-CeLL is a TESDA-registered technical-vocational institution that provides free training.
Meanwhile, trainees who wish to pursue employment in the provincial government offices are being helped by the said institution for their applications.
Apart from these, there are plans to expand courses offered by PPC-CeLL through TESDA (automotive servicing) this year.
With the collaboration of the provincial government and the PPC-CeLL, more trainees will be trained and eventually find jobs for a brighter future.
As of this writing, one of the graduates, Cesar Arcelona, has been hired by the Provincial General Services Office (PGSO), and more are expected to apply.
