The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) on Friday, Oct. 1, launched the Tulong Trabaho Scholarship Program.
The Tulong Trabaho Program with its partner TVIs, is currently working with industries and associations under the priority sectors of NCR to develop industry-led training programs and ensure job opportunities after the training, which is the main purpose of the Tulong Trabaho Act.
TESDA-NCR took advantage of the program to address the immediate skills needs of the Filipino people, especially those who are greatly affected by the pandemic.
“This scholarship program will be utilized to provide training for in-demand, as well as new and emerging skills – the needed skills to produce workforces that are highly competent and can adapt to this rapidly evolving work structure, As TESDA shifts from being supply-driven to being demand-driven, the Tulong Trabaho Scholarship Program reinforces this initiative by allowing an ease of TVET implementation,” said by TESDA.
More than 900 beneficiaries will undergo training programs to be implemented by 23 Technical Vocational Institutions (TVIs) across NCR. The beneficiaries will undergo training programs to be implemented by 23 Technical Vocational Institutions (TVIs) across NCR.
