After gaining skills from working abroad, OFWs can get TESDA certification without having to undergo a formal training program
MANILA, Philippines – A new program of the Department of Migrant Workers and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority is set to give qualified overseas Filipino workers certification for skills that they may have acquired without undergoing formal training.
“No more training, but they can be assessed in terms of . For instance, let’s say a cook in a restaurant in Dubai would have sufficient skill sets but never went through formal training, but is world-class. It can happen. So the TESDA…assesses the skills of that person and provides a certification of the skills of the worker so he or she can carry that certification,” Cacdac explained.
Having TESDA certifications help workers become more competitive when applying for technical jobs. Cacdac said that the OFWs can also use these certificates when they decide to return home for good and find jobs in similar fields. Apart from the skills accreditation program, Cacdac also mentioned another facet of its agreement with TESDA which provides free retraining or training for OFWs returning to the Philippines from war-torn areas.
