What happened in the two-day training?

Here is a visual synopsis of our two-day Training of Trainers on the topic of “Cross Border Capacity Development on Reintegration Readiness – Reintegration and Financial Planner”. Overseas Filipinos from Quezon City, Philippines, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, as well as other cities in Saudi Arabia, were present at the hybrid workshop.

The program was a resounding success and offered our OFWs invaluable ideas on how to better prepare for reintegration and organize their finances. We are delighted to see so many OFs coming not only from the Philippines but also from other areas of the Middle East to participate in this vital training and workshop.
