GLOBE has forged a partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) to provide the agency with internet communication support as well as substantial knowledge of digital citizenship and cybersafety through online training.

“The assistance that will be given to us will help our inspectorate committee in ensuring Tesda is well functioning, and be on the lookout for corruption. Globe will also help us in digitization of our online courses and help improve our e-Learning courses,” said Tesda Director General Isidro Lapeña.

“Our partnership with Tesda goes beyond connectivity support. It is about working together to help build a responsible digital nation. We’re extending support to digitize Tesda courses and learning modules. This includes digital literacy and online responsibility. We are also extending communication support to increase awareness and usage of the 911TESDA platform,” said Miguel Bermundo, head of Citizenship & Advocacy Marketing in Globe.

Part of the partnership is Tesda’s recognition of Globe’s Digital Thumbprint Program, which promotes responsible online citizenship through free workshops for students and trainors on four learning modules: Digital Insight, Digital Impact, Digital Ambition and Digital Discernment. Globe will provide modules to be used in Tesda’s training hubs.

Globe also provides prepaid load credits for Tesda’s phone brigade used to verify attendees listed in its database. This will help Tesda improve the audit process of its nationwide operations. (PR)
