The trainees of the Regional Training Center – Korea-Philippines Vocational Training Center Davao, who received the toolkits, were enrolled in the following courses: Cake Making leading to Bread and Pastry Production NC II, Plaster Concrete leading to Masonry NC II, and Tile Setting NC II, while others were enrolled only in COCs (Certificate of Competency or Unit of Competency of the full qualification).
The awarding ceremony was graced by Congressman Vincent Garcia and was joined by Ms. Marilou F. Coloma, the Training Department Head and Head Trainer of the Diploma in Hotel and Restaurant Technology of RTC-KPVTC Davao.
The starter toolkits, provided by TESDA, will assist the trainees in pursuing their chosen careers and in achieving their goals. The toolkits are essential in helping the trainees to perform their work effectively and efficiently.
This initiative by TESDA highlights the organization’s commitment to empowering Filipinos through technical education and skills training, and in providing them with the tools they need to succeed in their chosen careers.
The Special Training for Employment Program (STEP) of TESDA is a government-led initiative aimed at providing Filipinos with the necessary skills and knowledge to secure employment and improve their lives. With programs like this, the Philippines is set to have a well-equipped and skilled workforce in the future.
