The recent one-day training session on Basic Automotive Preventive Maintenance and Servicing held at Metro Manila District Jail Annex 1 was a significant event aimed at equipping participants with essential automotive care skills. The training, conducted face-to-face as part of the Community-based Training Program, focused on two core aspects: changing engine oil and replacing brake pad/shoe components.
Participants in the training included Jail Officers and Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) from MMDJ Annex 1, demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity and skill development within the correctional facility. Led by Mr. Jervin G. Yambao, an experienced trainer in automotive maintenance, the session provided participants with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in conducting engine oil changes and brake pad/shoe replacements.
The training, spanning eight hours, emphasized the importance of basic automotive preventive maintenance and servicing. Participants not only learned how to perform specific tasks but also gained an understanding of the underlying principles and techniques involved. Additionally, they were introduced to the basic use of automotive hand tools, enhancing their proficiency in maintenance tasks.
A notable aspect of the training was its partnership between RTC-NCR and MMDJ Annex 1, as part of the latter’s PDL Welfare and Development Program. This collaborative effort highlights a holistic approach towards rehabilitation and skill-building within the correctional facility. By integrating automotive maintenance into the program, stakeholders demonstrated a commitment to empowering participants with practical skills that can enhance their employability and contribute to their overall well-being.
Moving forward, the training is poised to have a continued impact on both participants and the community at large. By equipping individuals with essential automotive care skills, it not only promotes safety on the roads but also fosters a sense of empowerment and self-sufficiency. As participants apply their newfound knowledge and skills, the training contributes to creating safer and more resilient communities.
In summary, the one-day training on Basic Automotive Preventive Maintenance and Servicing served as an informative and practical opportunity for participants to enhance their automotive care proficiency. Through collaboration, expertise, and a commitment to inclusive skill development, the training exemplified the transformative potential of education and empowerment within correctional facilities.
