The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) will hold its 7th National Quality Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Forum on July 8 at the Hilton Manila Hotel in Pasay City.
With the theme “Empower, Innovate, Transform: Cultivating the Growth Mindset in TVET for a Sustainable Tomorrow,” the forum aims to strengthen the TVET Quality Management System (QMS) in the country and to continuously align it with international quality assurance standards.
The forum will also serve as a venue to introduce and reinforce internationally recognized quality standards in the implementation of technical vocational education and training in the Philippines.
It follows the marching orders of TESDA Secretary Kiko Benitez to prepare Filipino learners with the technical know-how and mindset to adapt, innovate, and thrive in fast-changing work environments.
“A growth mindset is the cornerstone of success in an uncertain future. It encourages learners to see challenges as opportunities, to embrace continuous learning, and to develop resilience through effort and perseverance,” the TESDA chief said.
The forum will feature panel discussions on aligning TVET programs with industry demands; bridging the skills gap by empowering trainers; upskilling and reskilling for the future of work; future-proofing the workforce in preparation for emerging job markets; and integrating green and digital skills in TVET.
Also part of the forum is the conferment of the TESDA System for TVET Accreditation and Recognition (STAR) Award, and the TESDA Seal of Integrity.
The STAR Award is given to training programs that have exceeded the minimum registration requirements set by the agency, while the Seal of Integrity is given to accredited assessment centers that have consistently adhered to TESDA’s operating procedures and quality management principles in the conduct of national assessments.
Representatives from relevant government agencies, industry and TVET associations, and administrators of public and private TVET institutions are expected to attend the forum.
