“The TRC has been the industry leader in terms of livelihood training and technology resource for nearly 35 years.  In keeping up with its mandate of creating opportunities, TRC will continue improving and innovating its programs to be able to enhance the productivity of more sectors,” DOST Secretary Mario Montejo said.
This year, TRC will focus on sectors like the youth, women, senior citizens and OFW’s.  According to TRC Director Dennis Cunanan, “Expanding our services will enable us to serve more sectors and, this way, people can identify themselves and find their place in the whole picture.”

“Creating opportunities is a continuous process. We will not stop from now and make sure that the workforce of the center will adapt to the changing times and we will be still relevant and effective as an institution.  The people deserve nothing less,” Cunanan said.

Aside from strengthening its public-private partnerships, TRC’s programs also includes commercialization of DOST mature technologies.  In the pipeline is the commercialization of affordable baby foods developed by Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI).  (By Maria Luisa Lumioan)
