Tesda approves new training regulations

MANILA -- Steady demand for jewelers, land surveyors, and barbers both here and abroad prompted the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) to revise eight courses in these fields.

The decision came after the Tesda board led by Director General Joel Villanueva made consultations with industry partners for the promulgation of a new set of training regulations for Land Surveying National Certificate II, Land Surveying NC III, Electric Power Distribution Line Construction NC II and Trainers Qualification Level I.

The Trainers Qualification Level II, Jewelry Making (fine jewelry) NC II, Jewelry Making NCII, and Barbering NC II completed the list of revised courses which will be implemented 15 days after the TESDA board resolutions are published in newspapers of general circulation.

“So in consultation with our industry partners, we have identified and approved the new roster of training regulations that it believes would offer more job opportunities and give tech-voc students wider career options to choose from,” said Villanueva.

Specifically, Villanueva said, the priority needs of industry partners and the nationwide application in terms of employment generation and investment opportunities were considered in the drafts. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)
