2. • TESDA serves as the Philippines’ Technical Vocational
Education and Training (TVET) authority. As a government
agency, TESDA is tasked to both manage and supervise the
Philippines’ Technical Education and Skills Development (TESD).
Its goals are to develop the Filipino workforce with “world-
class” competence and positive “work values” and to provide
quality technical-educational and skills development through its
direction, policies, and programs.

6. 2018 PRIORITY PROGRAMS ACTIVITIES
AND PROJECTS (PAPs)
 Technical Education and Skills Development
(TESD), is expected to respond to and be in
stride with the industries’ technological
advances and the province’s fast changing
socio-economic-educational (K-12) situation
as well as domestic and global labor market
demands.
Rationale:

8. The Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority fully recognizes the
rapid advancement in technologies and the
emergence of corresponding new and often
higher-level TVET skills against the backdrop of
climate change, soaring demographic trend,
ASEAN economic integration, K-12,
unemployment-induced poverty, among others.
Rationale:

9. Allowing the foregoing to remain unaddressed
will yield dire socio-economic consequences
for Cebu such as increased rate of under-
employment and unemployment, high poverty
and deprivation incidence, urban-rural
disparities, food insecurity and increased crime
rate, among others.
Rationale:

10. Implementing the project will not only address
the foregoing but will also ensure the
attainment of social equity among Cebuanos,
global competitiveness of Cebuano skilled
workers and transmission of local knowledge
and skills between generations, thus foster
human-centered development and achieve
sustainable inclusive high economic growth
of Cebu
Rationale:

11.  TESD plays very crucial roles in preparing
skilled workers that are highly capable and
competitive in participating in ASEAN
integrated economy, General Agreement on
Tariff and Trade (GATT), World Trade
Organization (WTO), Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) and the global economy in
general, towards the attainment of sustainable
inclusive economic growth of the country.
Rationale:

12.  One of the significant roles of TESD is
facilitating the Philippine’s shift from
being provider of largely lower-level
skilled workforce to provider of middle-
level skilled workforce. It is a common
transition phase of a country, from
economically developing to economically
developed nation.
Rationale:

13.  At personal level, TESD can enhance
career development and provide him or
her with competitive advantage in the
local and international labor markets.
Rationale:

14.  Highly skilled labors developed at post-
secondary level are more apt to innovate.
Firms with higher share of skilled workers at
an intermediate or advanced level,
depending on the sector, are more prepared
to compete globally (The World Bank, 2010)
Rationale:

15. Industries’ Needs:
 Higher-technology/level-skills that support
various sectors now and in the future, such as
but not limited to the following:
a. Service e. Tourism
b. Manufacturing f. IT-BPM
c. Agro-fishery/Agro-industrial g. Logistics
d. Infrastructure/Housing

16. Concrete Positive Actions to Satisfy the
Sectors’ Needs
 Development of workforce with higher-level/
technology competencies in response to rapid
socio-economic-technological development/
advancement in various industries/sectors.

17. Concrete Positive Actions to Satisfy the
Sectors’ Needs
 Rehabilitation/Construction of additional
infrastructures and equipping them with
modern training machineries/equipment/
tools for technical education and skills
development to capacitate TESDA-Cebu in
delivering higher-technology/level TESD
courses.

18. Concrete Positive Actions to Satisfy the
Sectors’ Needs
 Massive implementation of TESD Scholarship
Programs utilizing various modes, particularly
mobile training mode.
