Congratulations to TESDA V Institutional Awardees in Celebration of TESDA’s 24th Anniversary
Kabalikat Awards 2018
Local Government Unit Partner
Municipal Government of San Andres, Catanduanes
The Boss TE Training Center was conceptualized by San Andres Mayor Peter “BOSS TE” Cua and the Sangguniang Bayan in coordination with the TESDA Catanduanes Provincial Office and the Cabugao School of Handicraft and Cottage Industries in September 2013. The objective was to address the lack of opportunities for income generation, which has been a major concern among the unemployed youths and adults. This partnership paved the way for the establishment of the Basic Occupational Skills in support to Technical Education (BOSS TE). A total of 1,999 trainees were trained in the center from October 2014 to April 2018.
Since its inception, the BOSS TE has produced itself as a producer of high quality competent middle-level workforce responsive to the growing demands of the labor market. A total of 1,824 graduated in the 26 training programs offered for the last 3 years of which 632 were employed in self and wage employment.

Frederick G. Ramos
Trade Qualification: Agricultural Crops Production NC III
Starting his own family and being a father did not stop Mr. Ramos from dreaming and striving to make it a reality. TESDA greatly affected his life by equipping him with the necessary knowledge and skills as he courageously face the challenges and trials that await him. He is a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. He also earned certifications in Agricultural Crops Production NC III, Animal Production (Swine NC II), Animal Production (Poultry Chicken NC II), Horticulture NC II, Organic Agriculture Production NC II and other TVET qualifications, which opened greater opportunities and paved the way to becoming a Master Teacher I. For him, TESDA did not just help him land a job but gave more meaning to his chosen profession and fulfillment in his life.
