DAET, Camarines Norte, July 30 (PIA) – Some 1,657 locales who trained under the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) are already either hired or self-employed based on the results of the impact assessment survey conducted by the TESDA in 2012 and early part of 2013.
TESDA Senior Specialist Flora Raña said the Training for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP) which was cited as one of the accomplishments during State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Benigno Aquino III last July 28, has contributed much providing source of living to these locale-beneficiaries of the program.
Raña said that some 3,775 were trained last year by the TESDA through school based training, community based training and at their Training Center.
"Of the 3,664 “competency assessment” recorded last year, 2,835 have passed and were given National Certificate and will have the chance to be employed here and abroad," she said.
Meanwhile in 2012 there were 100 workers trained under Specialista Technopreneurship Program and were given an individual starter kit for free after the training.
Those who have received starter kits were massage therapists, hair dressers, welders, electricians, masons, plumbers and carpenters.
She said that aside from the TWSP they also offer Private Education Financial Assistance (PESFA) wherein this year they have 508 and 283 scholars, respectively.
TWSP beneficiaries are 18 years and above who are college level or college graduates and who are unemployed and wanted to have skills in order to have more job opportunities. The PESFA qualified beneficiaries are 15 years and above who are high school graduates whose family income is below P120,000 per year.
She said that among the priority sectors for the scholarships in this province are technical vocational in line with electronics, fishery, tourism and construction.
She said there were 22 accredited training schools in this province wherein the TESDA pays for the training cost and pre-assessment of qualified student beneficiaries. (MAL/RBM-PIA5/CamNorte)
