The Technical Education & Skills Development Authority and Robinsons Land Corp. signed a Memorandum of Agreement allowing the establishment of TESDA information desks inside Robinson Malls across the country.
In Dumaguete, the TESDA information desk is functional on weekdays from 10 am to 5 pm at the 2nd floor of Robinsons Place.
Under the agreement, Robinsons provides TESDA an exhibit space inside their selected branches for the installation of TESDA Information Desks where access to information will be made available, like TESDA courses, current programs and projects, schedules of competency assessment, job fairs and other events about technical vocational education and training.
The agreement provids an opportunity for TESDA to promote its e-learning training program or the TESDA Online Program, and the TESDA Specialista Technopreneurship Program.
The online program is TESDA’s current initiatives on promoting technical vocational education and training and job- generation.
The TESDA Specialistas are TESDA graduates and NC II holders who were formed into groups according to their skills, and were given tool kits to offer their services to the community at a reasonable fee.
The online program is providing computer instruction online over the public internet, private distance learning networks, or in-house via an intranet for free for the public to have greater access to quality tech-voc education and training anywhere at their own phase and time.
TESDA is initially offering four online courses: Computer Hardware Servicing NC II, Room Attendant Servicing, a core competency of the Food and Beverage Servicing, Guestroom Attendant Servicing NC II, a core competency of the Housekeeping NC II, and Cellphone Servicing, one of the competencies of Consumer Electronics Servicing.
