BONTOC, Mountain Province – Concerned officials
were urged to make the Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) more relevant in the province so more people can
benefit from its services and provide training to people to help them find
employment.
Provincial Administrator
Amador Batay-an, representing Gov. Bonifacio Lacwasan, posed this
challenge to heads of technical-vocational institutions(TVIs),
assessment center managers, community training and employment coordinators(CTECs), and
members of the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee
(PTESDC) during the Technical and Vocational Education and Training forum
here last week.
TESDA has been offering
and conducting trainings for interested individuals to equip them with the
necessary skills to find job or start a livelihood, but it needs
the support of the partners particularly the TVIs and the CTECs especially
that the trainings are either school-based, center-based,
enterprised-based or community-based.
In support to TESDA’s
programs in the province, Batay-an said the provincial government appropriated
a financial assistance amounting to P400, 000 for the agency.
Christine Oliquiano of
TESDA here, said the TVET forum with the battle cry “TESDA Abot Lahat” aimed to
have a common understanding and appreciation of programs and services of the
agency.
He said it was designed
to draw out issues and to identify possible industry needs to be able to come
up with policy resolutions to address the needs.
In the same occasion,
TESDA- Mt. Province provincial director Eric Ueda inducted the new set of
officers of the Mountain Province Association of TVIs.
They
are Derick Wooden as president; vice president, Roger Ekid; secretary -
Winifred Cue; assistant secretary, Gretchen Paleg; treasurer, Flor de Lina
Layog; auditor, Janice Bosaing and business manager Lovely
Humalbang.
Engineer Philip Akilith
serves as their consultant. -- JDP/JBS-PIA CAR, Mountain Province
