PROJECT DESIGN

I. Project Title: Vocational Assessment and Skills Development Training (VAST)

II. Person/s Involved:

 Eastern Samar State University- Training and Extension Services Office

(ESSU-TESO) in partnership with;

 Technical Education and Skills Development Authority- Provincial Office

(TESDA-Eastern Samar)

III. Project Description:

The Vocational Assessment and Skills Development Training (VAST) Center

envisages reconfiguration of theoretical learned skills into practical applications
through an introduction of Technical-Vocational Education and Training (TVET)
system to several curricular programs of Eastern Samar State University particularly
Agriculture and allied sciences, Entrepreneurship, Engineering, Tourism, Hospitality
Management and Information Communication Technology by providing an increased
access to TVET programs, strengthen skills assessment and certification in order to
develop highly competitive graduates responsive to the existing and emerging labor
market demands.

IV. Rationale:

On a case study published by UNESCO-UNEVOC which presents the shared

challenges experienced by other countries in the implementation TVET in the country
this includes: poor collaboration of implementers, industry, commerce and
stakeholders (European Training Foundation, 2003); lack of alignment between
technical qualifications earned in vocational schools and with degrees from colleges
(Kuczera, Kis & Wurzburg, 2009); lack of funding (Hoeckel, 2008); lack of awareness
or limited knowledge of TVET programs (Quay Connections in OECD/CERI, 2009);
and, being regarded as second class education and for less fortunate or less
intelligent individuals (Tilak, 2002).
The Eastern Samar State University as the premier higher education
institution in the province, in its quest for globalization is embarking on these
challenges through the ASEAN Regional Qualifications Framework (ARQF) which
promotes equal opportunities on education and training quality assurance system
across the ASEAN member-states as well as the Philippine Qualifications Framework
(PQF) through Executive Order No. 83, series of 2012 by President Benigno S.
Aquino III institutionalizing a quality assured national policy that delineates the level
of educational qualifications which harmonizes the TVET practices of quality
assurance system with other education sectors of the country such as basic
education and higher education institution. According to the Director of UNESCO
 Bangkok Gwang-Jo Kim, “quality assurance serves as an essential component to
qualifications because trust and transparency in qualifications are a requisite for the
comparability and recognition of qualifications at both national and international
levels”.
Given this context, the University imbibes with its vision/mission statement of
producing competent, value-laden and globally competitive graduates by establishing
a training and assessment center that will address current issues of the quality of
TVET delivery in country.

V. Objectives:

This project proposal generally aims to establish a Vocational Assessment

and Skills Development Training (VAST) Center which offers a range of hands-on,
competency and outcome-based, short-term, non-degree courses to alleviate poverty
and combat unemployment in the province through gainful, market-driven skills and
job opportunities to our students and even to the disadvantaged communities in
Eastern Samar.

Specifically, this project aims to;

1. Align and strengthen academic program offerings in the University
mapped to internationally acceptable competency standards through
vocational skills development training to beneficiaries thereby
producing quality and highly skilled workforce.
2. Promote capacity building for skills development training to further
enhance professional competitiveness and increase productivity to
disadvantaged and vulnerable sectors of the society.
3. Operationalize the delivery of Technical Education and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA) programs and initiatives in the
University.
4. Evaluate skills gap of target beneficiaries through the Philippine
Technical-Vocational Livelihood Education and Training Competency
Assessment and Certification System (PTCACS).
5. Create pathways for employment to beneficiaries through
collaborations with government agencies and private sectors which
will ensure socio-economic growth and national development.

VI. Methodology:

In order to attain its objectives the following strategies will be adopted for
effective and successful implementation of this project;
1. Training needs assessment.
2. Conduct information dissemination campaigns to the community and
stakeholders regarding the activities of the project.
3. Coordinate with government agencies mainly TESDA and business
/industry partners.
 4. Provide quality skills development training based on the corresponding
Training Regulations of the courses offered.
5. Assess the competencies required for every qualification offered.
6. Implement, monitor and evaluate the project as to the impact of the
project to target beneficiaries and community.
7. Documentation and report preparation.
