Computer literacy is really important to succeed in life. It is such an advantage to have at least basic knowledge about computer and internet navigation. Besides, technology is everywhere these days and those who do not know computers will surely be left behind.
Fortunately, there are programs like the “Microsoft Tulay IT Training Program” which enables interested individuals to learn the skill. And what’s great about the program is that it is currently being offered for free not only to OFWs but even to their dependents.
The Tulay IT Program is being run by the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration – Region Welfare Office 1 (OWWA-RWO1).
