LOAKAN- Regional Training Center (RTC) Baguio turned over bicycle racks to the city as one of the highlights of the TESDA’s 26th anniversary.
This year carries the theme TESDA@26: Bringing Hope in Times of Crisis. The turnover was held at city hall grounds on Monday, August 24. This project was conceptualized in line with the “Greening TVET” program of TESDA and in support of the program of the City Government on promoting bicycles as a means of transportation for students and workers.
The Greening Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) program is the strategic entry point for ensuring a world of work that contributes to social cohesion and promotes environmentally sound sustainable development.
The initial units fabricated by trainers and students are installed within the City Hall grounds while the succeeding units are at Burnham Park, Athletic Bowl, and other strategic locations within the City.
Meanwhile, the Regional Training Center (RTC)-Baguio also organized the “TESDA Bike Group” to encourage its staff and students to partake in the weekly bikeathon program of the City Government of Baguio.
Belmar G. Angoling the Administrator of RTC-Baguio said that “the installation of this bicycle rack is indeed timely and essential especially this pandemic that we need to comply with the health protocols on social distancing and at the same time strengthening our immune system through cycling so the installed bicycle racks would be valuable to the people of Baguio.”
