The second workshop dealt with the use of ICT tools and digitizing some workloads. The School of Information Technology (SIT) took the helm for this workshop. The workshop happened on March 22, 2022 at the University of Baguio.

SIT invited the personnel to the University of Baguio to use one of its IT laboratories, as it was complete with the necessary equipment to efficiently train the personnel. This workshop also helped the essence of National Women’s Month as all the participants were women who were even more empowered by learning relevant skills important in today’s society.

Participants of the workshop were trained on basic troubleshooting and creating infographics using CANVA. These skills would help PNP PROCOR boost their PR presence with more engaging infographics and allow them to fix basic tech issues without having to call for IT support.

Hands on approach in learning to troubleshoot

This isn’t SIT’s first time collaborating with the PNP though, they have been in a long standing relationship with PNP extending their expertise when it was needed. Before this workshop SIT sponsored an IT training for PNP back in 2015.
