00:00Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, or DSWD, offered one of the care facilities of skills training for children.
00:08This is to help them to be on track with today's developing technology, as our Noelle Talakay reports.
00:16ICE now feels that she is in cloud nine after she was selected to be part of the IT and tech training.
00:23She says that to be in the IT industry is her dream.
00:26Dati, outside, mahilig na rin po talaga akong mag-computer, pero hindi po ganun kalalim na ngayon is mas marami kayong matututunan about technology.
00:38JD is also excited to learn your skills, especially if it's related to technology.
00:43She says that she has now hoped for new opportunities after staying inside the care facility.
00:50J.D. and ICE are among the 14 residents of Marilac Hills National Training School for Girls,
01:09one of the care facilities of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, or DSWD.
01:15They will participate in the skills development program of the agency through IBM's skill build of IBM Philippines.
01:24Ang programa natin dito sa DSWD, masigurado na bukod sa psychosocial intervention, ay meron tayong nagaganap na skills na training.
01:34Sa loob ng IBM skills build, meron siyang mga kurso na technical na ito na nga yung mga emerging technology na nandito na ngayon.
01:45Anong example? AI. Ayan, gusto mo cyber security. Gusto mo maging threat analyst na nasa security operation center, pwede mo mag-aralan.
01:54According to the IBM Philippines, the training will be conducted online but will be moderated physically by certified trainers.
02:03And there are a lot of training programs that the participants can choose to be trained on and they can use it for job application in the IT industry.
02:11Pag natapos yung programa, 6 months, meron na silang mga ibat-ibang micro-credential at pwede na silang mag-apply ng trabaho sa mga ibat-ibang mga kumpanya na nangangailangan ng ganong klaseng skills.
02:25Makukuha mo yung micro-credential na yun, pwede mo ipakita sa Facebook, sa LinkedIn, o ano man yung profile mo sa social media.
02:33Kasi globally verified yan. Ibig sabihin, hindi natin inimbento dito. Kilala siya kahit saan ka pumunta.
02:42Secretary Gachalian says that one of the mandates of DSWD is to strengthen the capacity of their clients staying at the agency's care facility so that they can keep up with the fast-changing role of new technologies.
02:58Kasi yun ang tawag ng panahon. Lagi nyo narinig sa ating Pangulo na dapat handa ang ating mga mamamayan na makipagsakayan sa paggalaw ng mundo.
03:11Doon patungo ay mundo natin. Wala na atang industriya ang hindi gumagamit ng teknolohiya.
03:16Caritas, a global confederation of Catholic charities, is also part of the program which will spurhead the values formation of the participants who were abandoned, abused, as well as children in conflict with the law and might soon be reintegrated to the community.
03:33For now, the agency says that this is just a pilot run but it has already started planning for the implementation of the program in the Visayas but soon it will be implemented in 77 care facilities of the DSWD located in different parts of the country.
03:51The dark past should not shape the future of every child in the country but with our compassion, support and belief in their worth, we can help them to rise again.
04:05Just like the program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development which give them new hope and help them to become a future-ready individuals and irresponsible Filipino citizens.
04:18Noelle Palatay from the National TV Network for new and better full peace.
