Cagayan de Oro City – The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Region 10 conducted the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) in Housekeeping Qualification last October 27-29, 2014 at MASS-SPECC Hostel, Cagayan de Oro City. This is in preparation to the 2015 ASEAN Integration which is a major leap in the Philippine economy specifically highlighting the need to define competitive edge among ASEAN neighbors.
“We in TESDA endeavored to send our identified Master Trainors and Assessors for further training and appreciation on the ASEAN Housekeeping toolbox.” Dir. Edgar A. Sales, TESDA 10 Regional Director, said.
The 3-day activity prepared the current pool of Housekeeping trainors with their competence to trade qualifications, training delivery and assessment methodologies in line with the regional qualifications and harmonization of qualification standards in relation to employability skills and competence of TVET trainees and graduates.
