SECRETARY JOEL VILLANUEVA led the graduation of 1,092 students in the Cash for Training Project or C4TP for the province of Nueva Ecija. C4TP is a joint program of TESDA and DSWD that aims to provide training and livelihood opportunities for out-of-school youth. There are two tracks to be taken in the program which are Training for Employment and Training for Self-Employment. Those who opted for self-employment were also given starter kits or tool kits for their trade. Local government officials led by Mayor Adrianne Mae Cuevas of Palayan City were also present during the event.

"Ang TESDA po at ang ating pamahalaan ay hindi tumitigil sa paglikha ng mga paraan para po ang ating mga kababayan ay mabigyan ng oportunidad na umunlad ang kanilang buhay. Kaya po sinasabi natin lagi na 'sa TESDA, may choice ka.' Habang hindi kayo bumibitiw sa inyong mga pangarap, ang TESDA po ay lagi ninyong magiging kaagapay sa inyong matuwid na pag-unlad."
