CTECs Plan Benchmarking-Networking Tour to Subic

To make sure that there are ready employers for their local government unit's scholars under the Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Training for Work Scholarship Program (PGMA-TWSP), the officials and members of the Association of Sorsogon Community Training and Employment Coordinators (ASCTECs) are planning to go to Subic and personally talk with officials of companies there regarding their specific requirements for workers in various qualifications.

This is what the ASCTECs have agreed upon during their regular monthly meeting in Juban, Sorsogon last June 15, 2007.

According to Miss Rowena E. Fajardo, ASCTECs President, this is very important in bridging the gap between what their LGU scholars under PGMA-TWSP will learn and what their prospective employers will actually require.

The inputs of the industry partners that the ASCTECs will talk with will be integrated in the curriculum that will be used to train the scholars.

The tour is tentatively scheduled this August, before the actual trainings for the scholars are conducted starting September 2007.
