Our Brief History
By virtue of R.A 5462, and later repealed by the Labor Code of the Philippines Book II (NATIONAL MANPOWER and YOUTH COUNCIL), the Regional Manpower Training Center was established in 1975.
By virtue of R.A 7796 , known as the “Technical Educational and Skills Development Act of 1994” or the “TESDA Act of 1994, the Center evolved to TESDA Regional Training Center, Davao.
When the Republic of Korea and the Republic of the Philippines agreed to establish a Tech-Voc Center in Davao to be funded by the Korean government, on June 3, 2003 it paved the way to establish the Regional Training Center – Korea Philippines Vocational Training Center, Davao also known as RTC-KPVTC or KorPhil Davao through KOICA. RTC-KorPhil Davao was inaugurated by former President Gloria M. Arroyo on March 8, 2005 together with the Korean Ambassador to the Philippines, H.E. Yu, Myung Hwan and Mr. Lee, Hyun Ju, Executive Director, KOICA General Affairs.
