Tesda pushes micro-credentialing
THE Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) launched a micro-credentialing initiative at its women's center in Taguig City on Friday.
Micro-credentialing involves certification for employable skills through short courses to meet the rapidly changing demands of the labor market.
"This is a massive step forward for the future of Tesda's strategic aim to establish technical vocational education and training (TVET) in the country. With micro-credentialing, we create modular and stackable learning pathways, thus creating a system where training is faster, more flexible, and more responsive to industry needs," said Secretary Jose Francisco Benitez.
TVET, Benitez said, is a major engine of economic growth and worldwide labor trend.
"We have already completed the pilot run in six regions: NCR, Region 3, and Region 4-A in Luzon; Region 7 in Visayas; and Regions 10 and 11 in Mindanao. Now, we are moving forward with full-scale, nationwide implementation," he added.
There are currently 57 institutions in the country implementing 102 Tesda-registered and approved micro-credentialing programs.
