TESDA taps qualified OFWs as trainers, assessors

TESDA will tap qualified overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) to become trainers and assessors.

OFWs who pass a Trainers' Methodology course and competency assessment will be paid an honorarium.

President Rodrigo Duterte instructed TESDA to provide special training for OFWs to find more opportunities both locally and abroad.

Earlier, in February, TESDA Secretary Isidro Lapeña said the agency was ready to offer 71 free online skills training courses due to the expected influx of returning OFWs because of the pandemic.
