Technical and vocational education aims to develop technical skills, knowledge, and attitudes to prepare students for the workforce. It covers fields like agriculture, business, fisheries, industrial arts, and homemaking. Technical education is needed to meet labor demands, reduce unemployment and underemployment, and enhance technology transfer. The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) oversees technical vocational education and training in the Philippines, establishing policies, programs, and standards to ensure quality, accessible, and relevant skills development for the workforce.
