Jobless TESDA training grad?

Join Aug 27 jobs fair at BCC

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, Aug 22 (PIA)—Are you a graduate from any of the technical vocational training courses which Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has offered, and has yet to find a job, here is a chance for employment.

Come to the Bohol Cultural Center (BCC) this August 27, 2024 for the World Café of Opportunities (WCO), sector-based job fair, initiated by TESDA in partnership with the Department of Labor and Employment and Bohol Employment Placement Office (BEPO), which aims to connect government and private agencies to tech-voc training graduates for employment and support interventions to improve workers competencies, said TESDA Bohol provincial Director Carlito Quintano, at the Kapihan sa PIA.

An annual event that coincides with the National TechVoc Day celebrations, which this year is celebrated August 25, WCO is one of TESDA’s support to trained workers who still have to find jobs after getting their national certifications for certain competencies needed in the industry.

Supervising Technical Vocational Development Specialist Joan Sayon also said that it is part of TESDA’s commitment to help its trained workers get jobs, which is the reason why they got into technical and vocational training.

As of August 21, from the partner BEPO page, there are already 8 overseas and about 20 local employers, who have signified to be there, and TESDA expects more in the next days.

Having readied this, TESDA Provincial Skills Training Centers and private technical vocational institutes are now getting back into their list of trainee graduates who have not had any jobs yet, to get to the jobs fair.

With a target of getting at least 28 hired on the spot and a minimal count of 350 attendees and participant job seekers, Bohol TESDA is confident that with the5 provincial training centers in Inbabanga, Tubigon, Bilar, Pilar and Jagna and Balilihan satellite TC, plus 47 technical and vocational institutions bringing in their graduates, organizers see a much larger crowd for the activity.

Tasked to formulate continuing, coordinated and fully integrated technical education and skills development policies, plans and programs, TESDA provides direction, policies, programs and standards towards quality technical education and skill development, and with the government scholarships, they enroll, train, assess, certify and help their graduates get hired or land jobs, thus, the WCO.

In fact, while the activity is set for TESDA technical and vocational graduates, the organizers are also opening for other job seekers from the formal educational training institutions.

An activity with a pre-registration process via online with links available from the municipal employment and placement offices as well as BEPO and DOLE social media pages, those who failed to pre-register are still welcome, although they need to register on site.

To this, PD Quintano advises all applicants, especially those holders of TESDA national certifications to come in with many sets of documents, to significantly improve one’s chances at getting the best job offers. (PIABohol)
