T<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>wenty nine young adults received their degrees as trained Electrical Technicians who, despite their physical limitations, overcame all odds as they displayed discipline and desire to improve their lives. They received professional recognition as they move forward to become hard workers who will be generating their own money and contributing to the improvement of society.<\/P>
\n

\u201cThe country needs capable technicians, but more than anything, we need responsible technicians who push themselves to meet their goals,\u201d said Ms. Morla.  <\/P>
\n

These new professionals in the technical fields received their training at the National Institute for Professional Technical Training (INFOTEP in Spanish) in support of the Dominican Rehabilitation Association, with the backing of the Dominican Institute of Telecommunications (INDOTEL).<\/SPAN> <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

Those present at the graduation ceremony included INFOTEP manager of the Regional Center, Mar\u00eda Morla; Viviana Ricardo, head of the Development and Project Implementation Department of INDOTEL; Rosa  Pe\u00f1a Paula, Executive Director of the National Council for the Handicapped (CONADIS); Rosa Emilia Ure\u00f1a, National Director for Special Education and Labor Training; Arturo P\u00e9rez Gabi\u00f1o, Executive National Director of the ADR and Mercedes Dickson, Director of Labor Training, according to the INFOTEP office.<\/SPAN> <\/SPAN> <\/SPAN> <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

Mar\u00eda Morla, INFOTEP manager of the Regional Center, displayed great satisfaction shared by INFOTEP to be providing this essential training through a wide area of sectors in Dominican society which includes people with physical handicaps who are trained under the same quality standards as anyone else seeking the same jobs. <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

\u201cThe country needs capable technicians, but more than anything, we need responsible technicians who push themselves to meet their goals,\u201d said Ms. Morla.  <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

Morla reported that the electronics workshop was given in four modules which encompassed Repairing Electrical Appliances, Basic Electronics, Manufacture of Inverters (to convert DC to AC currents) and Engine Rewinding. Julio Batista and Federico Ventura were the facilitators in charge of the classes.<\/SPAN> <\/SPAN> <\/SPAN> <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

Arturo P\u00e9rez Gavi\u00f1o, Executive Director of the ADR, praised the effort of the graduates for having completed the one-year training course despite their physical limitations. He said, \u201cA handicap does not prevent a person from inserting him or herself, with dignity, into the labor market and from helping out with one\u2019s family as well as oneself.\u201d <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

Mercedes Dickson, Director of ADR\u2019s Labor Training, reminded the new technicians that their training was based on overcoming inequalities, creativity and strategies that come from their newly acquired knowledge. <\/SPAN><\/P>
\n

\u201cWe all have to be more competent\u2026our social reality is in dire need of trained, honorable and reliable professionals, men and women committed to the common good.  Although you are small in number, you are clearly members of the important category,\u201d she told the graduates. <\/SPAN><\/P>
