OVER 200 students who availed of Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista’s technical scholarship grant have formally received their certificates of completion after successfully finishing the contact center competency course.
All beneficiaries are residents of the city and have finished high school, the mayor said. A simple ceremony was held at the inner lobby of the Quezon City Hall, where the 225 graduates received their certificates.
The scholarship grant is a project of Bautista, who wanted the city’s youth to acquire technical skills and help them get jobs in the fast-rising business process outsourcing industry.
The students were subjected to 120 hours of intensive skills training in the communication and technology course.
The program is an undertaking of the city government’s Public Employment Services Office in partnership with the Scholarship and Youth Development Program and Information and Communication Technology- Global Service Outsourcing Task Force.
