Included are those who have incurred Absence without Official Leave (AWOL), physical injuries, failure to comply lawful order and even sleeping on duty.
The 30-day training focuses on strengthening and enhancing the participants’ work performance, relationship with God, their families, neighbors, co-workers and the community.
