Caloocan offers free vocational courses to residents

Caloocan City Mayor Enrico Echiverri urged yesterday unemployed city residents to avail themselves of the government-sponsored vocational courses.

He said that from January to June, thousands of residents benefited from the city’s employment programs, based on the report submitted to him by the Labor and Industrial Relations Office or LIRO.

Echiverri said that for the same period last year, more than 1,700 residents were given regular jobs and around 2,900 were given relevant referral to private companies.
