Green TVET Forum ikakasa ng TESDA!

Gagamit  ng ‘green technology’ ang Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) sa pagtuturo at pagsasanay sa mga  technical and vocational education and training (TVET) scholars  na kukuha  ng technical-vocational (tech-voc) courses bilang suporta sa adhikain ng gobyerno tungo sa ‘green economy’.

Bunsod nito, magdaraos ang TESDA ng 3-day Green TVET Forum and Strategic Planning on Greening the TVET system para sa pagbuo ng  kinakailangang Training Regulations (TRs) para sa ipapatupad na  skills training, program registration, at assessment and certification upang suportahan ang mga  requirements para sa skilled manpower ng green economy.

Ang Green TVET Forum and Strategic Planning on Greening the TVET System ay gaganapin sa darating na Marso 6-8, 2018 sa Bayleaf Intramuros Hotel.

 Ang registration ay magsisimula nang  alas-8:00 ng umaga at ang aktuwal na programa ay magsisimula dakong alas-9:00 ng umaga sa pangunguna ni TESDA Director General Guiling ‘Gene’ Mamondiong.

Ayon kay Mamondiong, pangunahing adhikain ng programa ay maipatupad ang “greening” ng  TVET system sa pamamagitan ng pagtuturo sa mga  kalahok/stakeholder  upang magkaroon sila ng mas malalim na   pagpapahalaga  kung ano talaga ang tunay na kahulugan at nararapat na  skills  ng  greening sectors at sa buong  ekonomiya gayundin ang kani-kanilang papel sa  proseso.

Layunin din ng forum ang lumikha  ng mga ‘inputs’ para  sa pagbuo ng  strategic plan sa “greening” ng  TVET system”, kabilang ang operationalization ng Green Technology Center bilang Green Skills Hub ng TESDA kasama ang mga public at pribadong TVIs bilang mga taga-pagpatupad  at partner  sa  Green TVET.

Ito ay pagtupad na rin sa  napagkasunduan sa 3rd Cycle of the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (NTESDP) 2011-2016 ng TESDA, na kailangang mag-develop ng mga skills  na  hinihingi  sa greening the jobs at pagpapatupad  sa makatarungang  pagbabago tungo sa green economy.

Dalawang hamon ang nakikita ng ahensya kaugnay sa pagpapatupad ng green skills: para gawing “green” ang mga existing jobs at magsanay ng bagong mga manggagawa na may appropriate green skills.

Samantala, magkakaroon ng  “Green Techno Fair” na isasabay sa pagdaraos ng lahat ng aktibidad mula  day 1 to 3 na lalahukan ng mga kompanya  na gumagawa  at nagsusuplay ng green technologies gaya ng solar panels, e-bikes/trikes, mga produkto at serbisyo.

Ang fair ay dadaluhan ng mga TVET trainers, assessors at  mag-aaral.

Kasama rin sa imbitado na dumalo sa nasabing okasyon sina Senadora Loren B. Legarda at Congressman Karlo Alexei Nograles at mga opisyal ng iba’t ibang ahensya ng gobyerno.

Ang programa ay suportado ng International Labor Organization (ILO)  sa pamamagitan ng  pilot application ng ILO policy guidelines on  “Just Transition towards Environmentally Sustainable Economies and Societies for All”, na nagbibigay din ng suporta sa implementasyon ng Philippine Green Job Act.

Sa ilalim ng  Green Job Act,  ang TESDA ay naatasan  kasama ang Department of Education (DepEd)  at Commission on HigherEducation (CHED) upang e-green ang edukasyon at skills development system sa bansa.

Habang  ang TESDA, kasama ang Department of Science and Technology (DOST) ay tutulong sa DOLE sa pag-analisa ng mga kinakailangang skills, training at re-training  kaugnay sa paggamit ng green technology na may potential sa paglikha ng mga bagong trabaho at greener jobs. END

TESDA to use 'green technology' in tech-voc courses

The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) will utilize the "green technology" in teaching technical and vocational education and training (TVET) scholars who will pursue technical-vocational (tech-voc) courses in support of the government's advocacy to promote "green economy."

This as TESDA will hold a three-day Green TVET Forum and Strategic Planning on Greening the TVET system to formulate the much-needed Training Regulations (TRs) to enforce the skills training, program registration, and assessment and certification in support of the requirements for skilled manpower under the green economy.

The Green TVET Forum and Strategic Planning on Greening the TVET System will be held at the Bayleaf Intramuros Hotel on March 6-8.

Registration will start at 8 a.m. and the actual program will begin at 9:00 a.m. It will be led by TESDA Director General Guiling ‘Gene’ Mamondiong.

Mamondiong said that the program aims to facilitate the “greening” of the TVET system by instilling among stakeholders the deepened appreciation of what "green" TVET really means and the skills requirements in greening the sectors and the whole economy as well as their respective roles in the process.

The same event also aims to provide inputs towards developing the strategic plan in greening the TVET system, including the operationalization of the Green Technology Center as the Green Skills Hub of TESDA with the public and private TVIs as the "spokes" of the implementers of Green TVET.

This is also being carried out after the signing of agreement at the 3rd Cycle of the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (NTESDP) 2011-2016 of TESDA.

In the Plan are challenges that the TVET sector has faced in relation to green skills: 1) to "green" existing jobs to meet the current demand for retrofitting and retooling of industry to ensure that these existing industries continue to grow; 2) to train new workers with the appropriate green skills, particularly for the renewable industries and emergent "green" technology sector.

A “Green Techno Fair” will also be held and will be participated in by companies involved in green technologies such solar panels, e-bikes/trikes. TVET trainers, assessors and students will join the event.

Senator Loren B. Legarda, Congressman Karlo Alexei Nograles and officials from various government agencies are expected to attend the activity.

The program is supported by the International Labor Organization (ILO) through the pilot application of ILO policy guidelines on “Just Transition towards Environmentally Sustainable Economies and Societies for All”, which also gives support to the implementation of the Philippine Green Job Act.

Under the Green Job Act, TESDA has been tasked to coordinate with the Department of Education (DepEd) and Commission on Higher Education (CHED).

TESDA, in coordination with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) will help the Department of Labor and Employment in analyzing the needed skills, training and re-training in relation to green technology which has the potential to create jobs or greneer jobs. END
