The staff of DOST Northern Mindanao continue to enhance their skills to deliver exceptional service to clients. Just last week, they engaged in a series of capacity-building sessions aimed at strengthening expertise, improving efficiency, and ensuring that the agency’s operations remain client-centered.
On August 4–6, two Assistant Regional Directors and one Provincial Director participated in the Seminar on Settlement of Accounts and COA Procedures at Grand Westside Hotel, Parañaque City. The seminar provided a comprehensive understanding of financial account settlement and Commission on Audit (COA) guidelines, equipping participants with the skills to ensure compliance, strengthen financial transparency, and uphold accountability in government service.
On August 7–8, the Assistant Regional Director for Technical Services, together with four Provincial Directors, attended the Work Analysis Seminar-Workshop at City Garden Suites, Manila. The activity focused on analyzing job roles and workflows to improve organizational efficiency, performance, and service delivery.
Meanwhile, nine Science Research Specialists joined the DOST Digital Transformation Training on Project Management and Risk Management on August 7–8 at Philippine Women’s College, Davao City. The training enhanced their competencies in project planning, execution, and risk assessment—equipping them with tools and strategies to ensure the successful implementation of projects across various fields.
Also, on August 6–8, one Project Technical Assistant participated in the Training-Workshop on Data Storytelling at Vivere Hotel, Muntinlupa City. This training honed skills in transforming complex scientific data into compelling and accessible narratives, helping effectively communicate the benefits of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) to the public.
Through these capacity-building initiatives, the team continues to grow stronger in both skill and purpose—ever more prepared to serve stakeholders with excellence. For to whom much is entrusted, much is also expected.
