What I learned in the PEOS Online?
I learned about the pros and cons of being an OFW. OFWs may earn a lot of salary compared from working here but you have to risk being away from home and working with people you have to deal with in spite of culture differences, languages, foods, climate, dress code, lifestyle, currency exchange, and religion or belief.
I learned about the fees involved in applying and registering as OFW including the legal placement fees, OFW benefits, OWWA and the like. I also got to know about avoiding illegal recruiters and scams. The module about staying healthy and keeping safe is also very important.
