TESDA, CHED, DOLE to team up with DepEd to boost employability of senior high grads
President Marcos has ordered the immediate integration of technical vocational education and training (TVET) programs into the Senior High School (SHS) curriculum to enhance the employability of Filipino graduates in both local and international job markets.
The President emphasized the urgency of reskilling and upskilling the Philippine workforce to meet the evolving demands of the current and future labor market.
A technical working group, comprising TESDA, DepEd, CHED, and DOLE, will be established to manage the detailed curriculum development for this integration.
This initiative stems from a study by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) indicating a mismatch between the skills possessed by graduates and the demands of the workforce, leading to difficulties in immediate employment for SHS graduates.
