BACOLOD CITY—Twenty-two students graduated from a basic computer training conducted in the city.
The students, composed of senior citizens and out-of-school youth (OSY) on Thursday received a certificate of completion for the course.
The initiative is a part of the digital-literacy program sponsored by the City Public Library in partnership with Molave Development Foundation Inc.
Librarian I Greta Memoria said the digital-literacy program is in line with the implementation of Beyond Access Program initiated by the foundation to develop public libraries and help create information and communications technology centers, and train elderly, OSY and mothers.
“The Bacolod City Public Library introduced a new program called ‘Digital Literary,’ a basic computer training for free to all individuals who have no knowledge of computer operation,” Memoria said.
The City Library recognized 80-year-old Thelma Las Piñas as the oldest student in the program which started in May 2015.
Earlier, 36 individuals also finished the training. They comprised batches one and two who received a certificate of completion for the 18 hours of basic computer training.
