The meeting was organized in response to Memorandum No. 118-A s. 2025 and is part of the institution’s ongoing efforts to ensure that its programs stay aligned with industry trends and evolving workforce needs.

The meeting was presided over by Mr. Mario M. Dela Cerna, Training Department Head; Ms. Marilou F. Coloma, Sr. TESD Specialist; and Mr. Rey C. Sanchez, TESD Specialist II. These three key personnel led separate discussions on the review of eLearning packages, printed and digital CBLMs, and entrance examination instruments, respectively. They focused on refining the materials and ensuring they align with current industry standards and emerging trends.
The meeting, held at the TESDA RTC-KPVTC, Davao Mini-Theater, brought together a diverse group of trainers and experts from the training center. The discussions began at 9:00 AM and continued throughout the day. It aimed to address the need for constant updates to the CBLMs and assessments to keep pace with the evolving demands of the labor market.
Despite his absence due to travel commitments, Engr. Constantino B. Panes, Jr., Ed.D., Center Administrator of TESDA RTC-KPVTC Davao, played a critical role in supporting the event as the leader of the institution. His leadership continues to guide the center’s initiatives to improve training standards and enhance its services for learners and industry partners.
