TECHNICAL Education And Skills Development Authority-Davao Region (Tesda-Davao) is looking into partnering with Davao City’s Central 911 to become the training center in Davao Region for emergency medical services training.
“Gisugyot namo sa local government [unit] (LGU) of Davao tungod kay at present wala ta’y training institution nga ga-offer og emergency medical services diri sa Davao Region (We have proposed this to the LGU of Davao because, at present, we do not have a training institution in Davao Region that offers emergency medical services),” Adonis Culas, Principal Director, Davao City District Office, and Davao del Sur Tesda-Davao, said in an interview on Davao City Disaster Radio on April 27, 2023.
“Nakita man namo nga duna’y capability ang LGU-Davao amo pud gihanyag nga ato nalang himoon training center (We saw that the LGU of Davao has the capability to train our enrollees and we proposed to them that they also become a training center),” he said.
Culas added that this plan was also aligned with the agency’s revolution plan for the LGUs in the region where they are required to establish their own training center for human resource development.
He said the establishment of the training center will also give opportunities to those Dabawenyos who would like to undergo training and national certification, which can be used for job hunting locally and overseas.
Aside from job and training opportunities, Culas said this will also make the people disaster ready.
“Kung dunay kalamidad nga mahitabo, pwede na mag-response kay naa naman ta’y training and certified worker (If there will be cases of emergency like disaster they can help us since they have undergone training and certified worker),” he added.
He added that they will also include a public safety command operation training program which will be the first in the Philippines.
