A series of skills training programs for Filipinos has concluded successfully at the Philippine Embassy and the Majestic Hotel in Bahrain, equipping participants with valuable knowledge in baking, haircutting, manicure, and pedicure.

The initiative, part of the Philippine government’s ongoing efforts to empower Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), aimed to provide participants with practical skills that support career advancement, financial self-sufficiency, and future reintegration upon returning to the Philippines.

A total of 61 Filipinos completed the trainings, with 32 graduating from the baking skills session held in the morning, and 29 others completing training in haircutting, manicure, and pedicure during the afternoon.

Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Welfare Officer Juvilyn Anns Gumabay and Migrant Workers Office Officer-in-Charge Celia V. Cabadonga led the ceremonies and commended the participants for their dedication and willingness to improve themselves.

They encouraged other OFWs to take advantage of similar opportunities in the future.

“This kind of training not only enriches your skillset but also prepares you for a more secure and sustainable future,” said Cabadonga. “We are proud of every participant who committed to personal growth.”
