OWWA Region 3 offers pre-departure education classes for Saudi-bound household service workers By Carlo Lorenzo J. Datu CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga, July 11 (PIA) -- Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) Region 3 is now offering classes under the Comprehensive Pre-Departure Education Program (CPDEP) for household service workers (HSWs) bound for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. “This is a two-day training for HSWs which include discussions on migration realities and employment contact. It also consists of language training, culture familiarization and stress management to prepare them for working in households in the Saudi. Participants will also be oriented on the agency’s programs and services, such as the scholarship and reintegration programs,” said OWWA Central Luzon Information Officer Freya Palad. “Language instruction is given to HSWs to familiarize them with simple words used in everyday conversation and to help them interact responsively with their foreign employers in performing their jobs. The training will also aid OFWs in the foreign country to transact properly in markets, malls, police and embassies,” Palad added. Arabic culture and language classes are conducted every Monday-Tuesday and Wednesday-Thursday at the regional welfare office in City of San Fernando, Pampanga. Those who are interested are advised to contact OWWA at (045) 860-6029 ,861-0931, 09282171472 ,09333410573,09174379429 , or 0917 510 0098.
