DOLE reports increased tech-voc impact
Almost two million people enrolled in practical, valuable and productive skills training and upgrading courses nationwide last year, attesting to the increasing demand and requirement for graduates of technical (or “tech-voc”) education courses, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) yesterday reported.
Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda D. Baldoz, citing a report of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), said that the development bodes well for the labor and employment agenda of President Benigno S. Aquino III to create more jobs in the local economy for Filipinos.
The President, in his 22-point DOLE agenda, had emphasized the need to “invest in the formal and regular skills training and upgrading of our overseas workers with TESDA and utilize returning OFWs to conduct training so that they may transfer skills learned abroad.”
