Carpenters, masons, electricians and other handymen who did not have a chance to get a degree may be able to get a free certification from the Technical Skills Development Authority, which, in turn, could allow them to get a higher-paying job abroad.

Dr. Florot Rinca, TESDA provincial director, said their office will conduct a two-day assessment on June 26 and 27 in 12 assessment centers in Dumaguete and Bais cities for industry workers with experience.

The program of TESDA to accredit industry workers, especially in the construction sector, is in support of the government’s Build, Build, Build program.

Rinca noted that many construction industry workers gained their skills from experience and not from formal education.

Engr. Juan Ogabang Jr., TESDA certification and assessment focal person, said there are 38 registered institutions in Negros Oriental which offer skills training services ranging from carpentry, slaughtering, welding, caregiving, masonry, tile setting, housekeeping, pipe fitting, agriculture and other skills.

Beth Aimee Tubog, TESDA test supervising specialist, said the national certificate is good for five years and is subject for revalidation.

She said more than 80 percent of TESDA graduates are either self or wage employed and that about 80 percent of graduates of the slaughtering course have found jobs abroad.
