TESDA to focus on 3 in-demand courses

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo wants the curriculum being offered by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) under its Training for Work Scholarship Project (TWSP) to focus more on training skilled welders, call center agents and butchers.

The President said she wanted the shift to these three courses because of the growing demand for employees skilled in these crafts.

As of now, the TWSP has courses in Hotel and Restaurant Management (housekeeping, commercial cooking, food and beverage services, front office and bartending), Nursing (caregiving, healthcare services and midwifery), Communication and Information Technology (PC operation, computer hardware servicing and programming).

Aside from this, the Academy also offers carpentry, re-bar fixer, plumbing, building wiring technician, electronics and industrial electrician.

The President said that the above-mentioned courses are "mainstream" curricula where the probability of landing a job is quite low due to the number of graduates these courses produce.

She said TESDA should focus more on training welders, call center agents and butchers because of the large demand for these workers.

She noted that there are 20,000 job openings for welders, 30,000 for butchers while the call center industry is in constant need of agents to fill their growing roster of employees.

Meanwhile, TESDA-Bohol Supervising Technical Education Skills Development Specialist Francisca Opog announced that TESDA, in coordination with the City of Tagbilaran, will be accepting scholars under TWSP for butchers on December 4.

20 scholars will be accepted for the 280-hour course at the City Slaughterhouse.

Applicants must be at least high school graduate, 18 yrs. old and knowledgeable in English. Butchers are in-demand in Australia, she reported.

Also, Pro-Stick Screening is on going for call center agent applicants at Informatics. Those who pass will be submitted to TESDA and DOLE region VII for placement.

TESDA will give P5, 000 to the school for each scholars, Opog added.

Welding courses, however, are not included under the TWSP. Right now welding courses offered at Inabanga Training Center are currently upgraded to fit international standard, the TESDA official added further. (PIA/aeescobia)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
