Kabuhayan

(Livelihood and Economy)

Mayor JV envisions a San Juan where every resident is productive and everyone has

the opportunity to study, work and start and own a business.

The city has established San Juan Manpower & Livelihood Training and consultations on livelihood courses.

The training center continuously accepts enrollees and offers courses such as caregiver, dressmaking, tailoring, food processing, cosmetology and reflexology.

The center urges every resident to indulge in these activities to improve their skills or make an enviable career. It is also one way of preventing the town’s youth from engaging in undesirable vices.

For the last four years, the center has produced graduates from the following courses: food processing, refrigeration and air-conditioning, cosmetology, electronics, dressmaking and caregiver. Recently they introduced new courses such as reflexology, Swedish shiatsu and stainless welding.

Some of its graduate are, at present, working in Canada, Taiwan and the United States while some have started their own businesses at the comforts of their home.

For the residents to have a decent and better education, San Juan boasts of a number of schools and educational institutions that help increase the literacy rate of its population, especially the youth. These educational facilities, which are situated in all barangays, consist of 28 public elementary and high schools including day care centers; 15 private schools and other private educational institutions involved in tutorial services; learning centers; computer and business schools; nursery and pre-schools; academic/skills training centers; day care and other educational facilities. An additional training building was also constructed courtesy of the town chief.
