Step into the world of unsung heroes in healthcare!

Discover the vital role of auxiliary workers in shaping quality care in our latest Skills Insights Podcast episode: Behind the Scenes of Care: Auxiliary Healthcare Industry

In this episode, we dive into the urgent need for skilled professionals in the Philippines’ auxiliary healthcare sector, especially in cadaver care and clinical simulation. With a critical shortage of medical doctors, a lack of cadavers for medical training, and an exodus of qualified technicians due to low wages and limited opportunities, the healthcare system is under increasing strain.
We explore a groundbreaking partnership between UP Manila and TESDA aimed at addressing these gaps through specialized Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs. These new initiatives target essential but often overlooked roles such as autopsy and simulation technicians.

You'll hear how this effort not only responds to workforce shortages but also reimagines healthcare training in light of Industry 4.0 technologies, emphasizing both technical and soft skills. Tune in to understand why government and institutional backing is crucial to building a sustainable future for healthcare education in the country.

Isang malikhaing pagbati mula sa TESDA at sa Creative Sector!

In celebration of Philippine Creative Industries Month this September, TESDA continues to strengthen its collaboration with key partners in the arts and design sectors.

Last Friday, September 12, the TESDA Planning Office held the Scoping and Questionnaire Validation Meeting for the Skills Needs Anticipation: Workplace Skills and Satisfaction (SNA: WSS) Survey in the Creative Sector, particularly in the Design and Traditional Cultural Expressions Domains.

The meeting was attended by representatives from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, DTI-Design Center of the Philippines, DTI-Competitiveness and Innovation Group, UNESCO-National Commission of the Philippines, British Council Philippines, Katha Pilipinas, and other partners.

The SNA: WSS Survey seeks to better understand the jobs and skills employers need and assess labor market demand and supply within the industry.

With this endeavor with our partners, TESDA is shaping a dynamic and globally competitive creative workforce that will showcase the best of Filipino talent.
