What is TWSP and Who is it For?
What is TWSP and Who is it For?
The TWSP is an industry-driven program. TESDA collaborates with companies and sectors facing a shortage of qualified workers (e.g., construction, IT-BPM, tourism, manufacturing) and funds training slots to fill that gap. This makes TWSP graduates highly employable.
This program is ideal for:
High school or college graduates seeking immediate employment.
Displaced workers looking to learn a new, in-demand skill.
Current employees who need upskilling or certification for career advancement.
Returning OFWs transitioning to a new local career.

What is STEP and Who is it For?
STEP takes a more community-based approach. Its primary goal is to provide skills training that empowers individuals to become self-employed or start their own micro-businesses. It often targets specific groups within communities.
This program is ideal for:
Aspiring entrepreneurs who want to start a home-based business.
Barangay-based beneficiaries identified by local government units (LGUs).
Individuals interested in short-term, livelihood-oriented skills like baking, food processing, or beauty services.
Members of marginalized groups, including Persons with Disability (PWDs) and senior citizens.
