The regional office of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT 11) is offering free ICT-related training to those who are looking for home-based jobs through its digitaljobsPH Training Program.
DICT is implementing digitaljobsPH to create meaningful ICT-enabled jobs in the socio-economically disadvantaged areas in the country. It focuses on the areas where there is a high population but low employment due to lack of investors.
Engineer Albert Gabriel, information technology officer 1 of DICT-Davao Region, explained that digitaljobs is a scholarship program of DICT where it provides ICT-related skills training for those people who want to work online.
“Kami sa DITC ang among direction is digitalizaiton ug gahatag mi ug capacity building or trainings for digitalization. Uso naman karon ng freelancing ug home-based na mga trabaho so nagahatag mi ug free trainings sa mga tao nga gusto mu venture ug ingon ani nga pagtrabaho kay naa man tay mga kaigsoonan nga wala silay opportunity nga makatrabaho sa four corners of the office but if you are comfortable to work at your homes with the use of technology, nagahatag mi ani,” he said during the Kapihan sa PIA at NCCC Victoria Plaza Mall on Friday.
The training offers courses that are significant to land highly in-demand online jobs worldwide including digital marketing/e-commerce, web development, social media marketing, advertising, search engine marketing and advertising, content writing, graphic design, and virtual assistance.
The main objective of the program is to provide technical training to increase the capabilities of people, who are currently unemployed or financially unstable, to land ICT-related jobs.
