President Benigno S. Aquino III lauded the
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for receiving a Nationwide
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 Certification.
Speaking during the awarding ceremony, held at the Heroes Hall of Malacañang Palace, President Aquino said the certification covers TESDA’s central office, 17 regional offices, 81 provincial offices, and its office in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
“Patunay ang tagumpay na ito: Tuloy-tuloy ang positibong transpormasyon ng ating pamahalaan; tuloy-tuloy ang pag-aangat natin sa kalidad ng buhay ng ating mga Boss, ang mamamayang Pilipino,” he said.
The certification, which was presented by Femelyn Lati, general manager of the quality management agency TÜV SÜD PSB Philippines, Inc., recognizes the quality, safety and reliability of TESDA’s products and services.
“Ngayong tatak-ISO na ang TESDA, masisigurong higit pang magiging mahusay at makabuluhan ang kanilang training programs. Samakatuwid, diretso ang benepisyo nito sa kanilang trainees at scholars—mula sa out-of-school youth, sa mga kabilang sa sektor ng persons with disabilities, hanggang sa senior citizens—mga Pilipinong higit nang nabibigyan ng pag-asa’t pagkakataong umangat at umasenso sa buhay, at panghawakan ang sariling tadhana,” the President said.
Noting that 65.3 percent of the 7.1 million graduates of TESDA's Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) as of December 2014 have been employed, he attributed TESDA’s success to its leaders and staff.
"Malinaw po: Ang tagumpay na ito ay hindi nagmula sa sistemang bara-bara, kundi sa kalkulado’t tiyak na mga hakbang; hindi sa tsamba, kundi sa sama-samang hangarin at pagsisikap ng bumubuo ng TESDA, kasama na ang kanilang mga mag-aaral at mga napagtapos," President Aquino said.
TESDA Secretary Joel Villanueva, for his part, said that since news broke out that TESDA is now ISO-certified, some companies have eased their work experience requirements for TESDA graduates.
Villlanueva noted that the employment rate of TESDA graduates is now at 65 percent, compared to 28 percent during the previous administration.
TESDA is the second agency under the executive branch to obtain a nationwide ISO Certification. The Department of Health was the first agency to receive the status in December 2013.
The Munich-based TÜV SÜD PSB is the country’s leading multinational certification and inspection body, which provides inspection, certification, valuation, validation, training, and testing services.
The ISO has since 1947 been certifying the adherence of government and private enterprises to worldwide industrial and commercial standards of excellence. ISO International Standards ensure that products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality.
Also present at the event were Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz, TESDA Region 11 Director Gaspar Gayona, and directors of TESDA’s regional and provincial offices. (PCOO News Release)
