SOCIAL WORKERS AND DEVELOPMENT- AREA BASED STANDARD NETWORK (SWAD-ABSNET) IN DUALTECH CENTER

 About 40 representatives from Social Worker Development Agencies (SWDA) and Local Government Units (LGUs) from South Metro Manila (Makati, Pateros, Muntinlupa, Taguig, Las Pinas, Pasay and Paranaque) visited Dualtech Center to see a possible program which youth beneficiaries may consider after their secondary education or ALS Special Program. This partnership can provide different foundations and groups a venue for skills training and character formation for their scholars.

The social workers were inspired by the works of Dualtech Center. Ms B-Etta Ayon of The Ruth Foundation for Pallative Care, Inc and Chairperson of ABSNet South Cluster was grateful for the opportunity to take a look at possibilities for another partnership, programs, and projects that each participant may work out with Dualtech Center. Some of the participants are already setting schedules for career orientation, tie-ups and community relations with Dualtech.

AREA BASED STANDARD NETWORK (ABSNET) is a program under DSWD with the end goal of institutionalizing collaboration with the Social Welfare and Development Agencies (SWDAs) which constitutes the intermediaries for social welfare services delivery.
