Fil-Canadian group offers training to boost trainers’ skills (11:25 a.m.)
MANILA — Labor Secretary Arturo Brion is set to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Filipino-Canadian Construction Society (FCCS) for the improvement of training skills of the trainers in Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) for the construction sector.
Amado Mercado, president of FCCS said the MOU to be sign next month will help the Philippine government in addressing the skills requirement of Filipino workers that are hoping to land a job in Canada.
The FCCS is composed of Filipino builders, contractors, electricians, plumbers, estimators, and project managers based in Vancouver.
Mercado, was in Manila recently to discuss with Brion the contents of the MOU that will be signed next month in Alberta, Canada as well as an agreement which Brion will ink with the province of Alberta.
The association will provide training for construction trainers from Tesda free of charge and all expenses paid for the group.
The trainer will return to the Philippines and pass on to others the acquired construction techniques and skills.
Canada will need at least 1.9 million foreign workers in the next five to 10 years and they are looking at the Philippines to supply these demands, Administrator Rosalinda Baldoz of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) said.
Workers that are in demand in Canada would be engineers, plumbers, welders, meat cutters, butcher, nurses, caregivers, as well as hotel staff.
Data from the POEA indicated that in 2007, a total of 9,000 Filipinos were deployed and it is expected that in 2012, about 30,000 workers will be needed for the Winter Olympics.
FCCS has partnered with the Multicultural Helping House Society to identify skilled immigrants needing mentorship, job leads, and to provide apprenticeship to those who are interested in developing expertise in construction trades.
Last month, Brion forged an MOU with the province of Manitoba for the possible deployment of Filipino workers there. (MSN/Sunnex)

Hi… I’m from Cebu Philippines. I am very interested to go to Canada but lack the skills for it. I have read and is interested on butcher and meat cutter. I want to know where the training centers for butcher and meat cutter is. But as far as I know even in training for these skills they are asking for age limit and experience in these jobs. How can I have the chance to work in Canada if they will not give me the chance to train on butcher and meat cutter for the reason that i”m 49 yrs old already and has no experience work as a butcher and meat cutter. Hope you can help me as I am the sole bread winner with 2 college students to support. I am an OFW arrived here from Saudi last July 2008, since then I still has not found a job yet. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Edgardo B Brillantes
