Dear Ms. Aquino:
Greetings from the Technical Education and Skills Authority (TESDA)!
TESDA shall continuously perform its mandate of certifying the competence of the Filipino workforce amidst the Covid-19 pandemic adopting to the "new normal" state, thru the implementation of Portfolio Assessment. Portfolio Assessment is a method of gathering evidence wherein the competency is determined based on accumulated pieces of documentary evidence demonstrating the competencies of an individual over a period of time.
The program also aims to assess professionals, wage or self-employed and even those currently unemployed but who are trained and educated and have appropriate and relevant work experience.
We strongly believe that this program can widen its reach and may serve a large number of Filipino workforce through our industry partners and stakeholders.
