Tesda Circular No. 053 2023 Guidance Program
I. RATIONALE/BACKGROUND
Career Guidance and Job Placement System in TVET started back in 1979
under the then National Manpower Youth Council (NMYC). It was emphasized
under RA 7796 in 1994 with the following goals and objectives: (1) to promote
and strengthen the quality of technical education and skills development
programs to attain international competitiveness, and (2) to focus technical
education and skills development on meeting the changing demands for
quality middle-level human resources.
As provided for in TESDA Order No. 02, 2014, the National Institute for
Technical Education and Skills Development (NITESD) was tasked to develop
and orchestrate the implementation of a national career guidance program
and system, specifically, to integrate career guidance in the development and
implementation of training technology and delivery models.
The 2018-2022 NTESDP cycle also ensured that the global competitiveness
and workforce readiness of the TVET sector graduates is galvanized and
strengthened. And, in consistency with the trends and updates on career
guidance, one of the strategies stated in the 2023-2028 National TESD Plan
is to ensure linkage of trainings to the employment platform of the Department
of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to attain decent, sustainable, quality jobs
and livelihoods. The linkage will allow the TVET graduates to have access
towards various employment facilitation services, opportunities for
entrepreneurship as also specified in the Republic Act No. 10691 or PESO
Act.
To sustain the effort of holistic support to TVET learners in choosing the right
career path towards gainful employment, it is necessary to institutionalize the
Vocational/Career Guidance Programs and Services in the public and
private TVIs with the framework pointing to the front-end, the mid-
program, and the back-end guidance interventions.
