Low-income residents to receive training

BOGOR: As many as 244 low-income people in Bogor municipality
are undergoing training in various skills in order to help them
improve their standard of living.

Municipality spokesman Zaenal Arifin said on Friday that the
residents came from 34 subdistricts and were trained in skills
including sewing, hairdressing, shoemaking, printing, carpentry
and electronic repairs.

Organized by the municipal manpower and social agency in 11
districts, the training would last 42 days beginning on Friday.

Agency head Jani Permadhi said that the participants were
expected to apply their skills so that they would be able to
obtain income for their families.

"Their skills from the training will be meaningless if they
have no desire to apply what they learn," Jani said. --JP
