MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— “911 TESDA”, a Grab-like application providing the graduates of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) a platform to land a job in just a swipe, was officially launched on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The “911 TESDA,” which will initially be available web-based, was created not just to help TESDA graduates, but also to make it more convenient for the public, especially those who need services, to find workers.<\/p>\n

Eight digital online services providers (DOSPs) have recently signed a partnership with TESDA for the app.<\/p>\n

TESDA graduates from 2017 may apply to be accredited by the DOSPs. The two will have an agreement on how things would work.<\/p>\n

DOSPs would screen the workers they would send to those who would be needing services.<\/p>\n

The agency initially targeted to launch the app by July 18, and make this available initially in Metro Manila.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday, the public could only access “911 TESDA” via web www.911tesda.ph.<\/p>\n

The services are initially available for those in Metro Manila, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, “911 TESDA” is currently limited to 76 services (e.g. housekeeper, kitchen staff, aircon cleaner, laundry, lighting installation or repair, accounting clerk, among others).<\/p>\n

TESDA-NCR director Conrado Bares earlier told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) that when someone needs a service, the partner DOSP would look for the registered worker nearest the vicinity.<\/p>\n

“This would give the TESDA graduates the option to work with the DOSP either full-time or part-time, depending on their availability,” he added.<\/p>\n

He also bared that the DOSPs said 42,000 people in NCR are needing the services of certified TESDA graduates.<\/p>\n

Among the in-demand services are massage, carpentry, housekeeping, programming and call center, Bares said.<\/p>\n

TESDA’s mandate, he said, is not just to give education or training, but also help its graduates find employment or livelihood opportunities.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, TESDA’s tagline, “Abot Lahat” targets that more people, especially in the regions, would benefit from TESDA scholarships and services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
