The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Central Luzon through the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services (KALAHI-CIDSS) oriented the Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU) graduating students across all campuses for a PreDeployment Orientation held at the Dr. Ernesto T. Nicdao Sports Center, DHVSU Main Campus on November 17.

The KALAHI-CIDSS Cash-For-Work Program aims to provide temporary employment opportunities for college graduates and students of DHVSU and to empower them financially.

The event focused on informing the participants about the program, including its objectives.

Representatives from the DHVSU Office of Career Services, DSWD Central Office, DSWD Field Office III, and Office of Senator Imee R. Marcos (OSIRM) were present to address queries of the participants.

Hon. Andres "Andy" D. Lacson, the representative of OSIRM, delivered a message on behalf of Sen. Imee R. Marcos. He highlighted the importance of KALAHI-CIDSS in supporting students and their families.

The pre-deployment orientation served as the first step in preparing the final list of beneficiaries for their designated roles within the program.
