Forged by Formation, Driven by Faith


At Don Bosco TVET Center Balamban, we transform lives through technical-vocational education, spiritual formation, and values-based training. This page is a tribute to the remarkable journeys of our graduates—young individuals who rose from adversity to opportunity through their faith, skills, and perseverance.


🎯 Why We Share Their Stories

  • 💡 To inspire others to believe in second chances and brighter futures.
