TRECE MARTIRES CITY, Cavite – Aimed at producing new competent agricultural extension workers (AEWs) in the region, the Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Training Institute (DA-ATI) CALABARZON opened the 19-day “Extension and Training Management Capability Development (ETMCD) Course” at the Center’s Training Hall on Monday, March 4.
For the fifth time, ETMCD is being offered by the DA-ATI CALABARZON to capacitate 25 AEWs with relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes in conducting training and other extension activities. The training runs from March 4 – 27, 2024.
The curriculum comprises four modules capturing the holistic aspects of providing extension services – created from the training curriculum designed in 2020 by the technical staff of the Center, with the supervision of its management.
Participants will also conduct microteaching and community immersion in their chosen areas in order to apply the essential concepts and approaches they learned and to be trained on the Participatory Rapid Rural Appraisal.
Further, there will be examinations, presentations, and critiquing in the latter part of the training.
Upon the successful completion of the course, a graduation ceremony will be held on March 27, this year.
