INTRODUCTION Background/Rationale
The Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Plan 2010-2013 is our response to the governments mandate to coordinate all skills training and development efforts of the Province of Lanao del Norte and the country as a whole on one hand; and to formulate a plan for the optimum allocation, development and utilization of skilled workers for employment and technology development for economic and social growth on the other hand. In consonance with the Medium Term Philippine/regional Development Plans, 2010-2013, the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan 2010-2013, and the Regional Technical Education and Skills Development Plan 2010-2013, the Provincial technical Education and Skills development Plan will serve as the blueprint for technical education and skills development interventions in the Province. As such, it will guide and harmonize all Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) initiatives and activities in the Province into common and unified directions which will enhance the Provinces resources and alleviate the constituencies from poverty through self and wage- employment opportunities. Duration-wise, the PTESD Plan is a 3-year term consistent with the Medium Term development Plan and the NTESD Plan. It is intended to coincide with the political terms of Local Chief Executives. However, the assessment of this Plan must extend beyond the medium-term to consider long-term trends inorder to generate a more comprehensive inputs for the next planning period. Geographically, the Plan does not limit itself to political boundaries of the Province, which means that its implementation embraces the whole Province of Lanao del Norte which includes the independent city of Iligan (now a Lone District) and the 22 component municipalities. The planning environment of the PTESD Plan includes all major sectors (categorized into type of economic and social activity) relevant to the development of the province. It endeavors to use sectoral data which are consistent with global, national, and city/municipal data to establish context. The Plan is divided into nine chapters which provide comprehensive discussions, as follows: Introduction Policy Directions Planning Environment Provincial TESD Framework Priority Sectors and Industries Strategic Response Plan Implementation Mechanism Plan Monitoring and Evaluation Annexes

POLICY DIRECTIONS TESDA Vision and Mission Statement

TESDAs creation (by virtue of RA 7796) was meant to reduce overlapping in skills development activities initiated by various public and private sector agencies, and to provide national directions for the country's technical-vocational education and training (TVET) system. Hence, a major thrust of TESDA is the formulation of a comprehensive development plan for middle-level manpower based on the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan. This plan shall provide for a reformed industry-based training program that includes apprenticeship, dual training system and other similar schemes. The essence of TESDAs existence is to enhance employability of the middle-level workforce through the provision of relevant, accessible, high quality and efficient technical education and skills development (TESD) responsive to and in accordance with the Philippine Development Goals and Objectives. Overall, TESDA formulates manpower and skills plans, sets appropriate skills standards and tests, coordinates and monitors manpower policies and programs, and provides policy directions and guidelines for resource allocation for the TVET institutions in both the private and public sectors.
TESDA Vision, Mission and Goals

The vision, mission, and value statement of TESDA express its highest aspirations and reasons for being and serve as the unifying framework for all its activities. Vision. TESDA is the leading partner in the development of the Filipino workforce with world class competence and positive work values. Mission. TESDA provides directions, policies, programs and standards towards quality technical education and skills development. Value Statement. TESDA believes in demonstrated competence, institutional integrity, personal commitment and deep sense of nationalism.
TESDAs Core Business

TESDAs role in workforce development is defined by quality products and services in the areas of Direction Setting, Standards Setting and Systems Development, Support to TVET Provision, and Institutional Capacity Building which are its core business. The TESDAs Core Business is to provide national leadership in developing a skilled workforce in the country. Primarily, this involves ensuring sufficient provision of skilled workers and technicians to meet international work standards as well as the needs of local enterprises. It also includes ensuring access to technical education for the greater majority of the Filipinos.

Vision, Mission, Objectives: National and Local Setting National Development Direction
Fighting poverty and building prosperity for the greatest number of the Filipino people are the main concerns the national government has set to pursue in the next five years. To achieve these, strategic measures are laid out for the creation of jobs, improving access to education, improving fiscal strength, decentralizing development, and promotion of national harmony. The basic task of the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP), 2004-2010 is to fight poverty by building prosperity for the greatest number of the Filipino people. The country must open up economic opportunities, maintain sociopolitical stability, and promote good stewardshipall to ensure better quality of life of its citizens. The country will focus on strategic measures and activities, which will spur economic growth and create jobs. This can only be done with a common purpose to put the economic house back in working order.
Regional Development Long-Term Vision

The Regions long-term vision is to be the leading industrial and trade center in Mindanao with vibrant, skilled and productive men and women enjoying equal opportunities in harnessing the potentials and resources in building a decent, harmonious, peaceful and healthful living environment. As the previous medium-term goal of becoming the major transshipment hub in Mindanao is slowly being realized with the improvement of the regions major seaports, the setting up of an international standard airport, and the establishment of infrastructure arteries, Region X is ready to assert its role as a major leader in the production of high-value, high-yielding crops and other agri-based goods, and to present itself as the most competitive, efficient, and attractive venue for industrial ventures in Mindanao. The fulfillment of these goals and objectives will critically consider the roles of the Local Government Units, the educational and training institutions, the industries and the private sectors. The Region will uphold as a guiding principle, the private sector as the economys main engine of growth, while the government, as orchestrator of development that encourages and promotes the participation of the private sector and supports or nurtures its growth. Thus, the government sector will engage only in projects that are public in nature or if private in character, does not compete with existing activities that are amply provided by the private sector.
Provincial Development Plan of Lanao Del Norte: Its Vision

The long-term vision of the province of Lanao del Norte is dubbed as Vision 2020. Year 2020 is the indicative time frame for the realization of the vision. It states that Lanao del Norte is envisioned to become . . . a globally competitive agri-industrial community of God loving, ecology conscious, culturally diverse people working together in peace and harmony to achieve equity and prosperity.

2010-2013
This vision statement was crafted through a series of multi-stakeholder consultations. In effect, it is a vision shared by the constituency of Lanao del Norte which is translated into an Executive Agenda of the Provincial Administration. The incumbent Governor, Mohamad Khalid Dimaporo, translated the vision into a three-point agenda: social development, rural livelihood and infrastructure.
PTESD Planning Process

The preparation of the TESDA Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (PTESDP) underwent a series of participative discussions at the different levels of the organization. Agreements from the different consultation-workshops, meetings, and conferences were integrated and served as major inputs in the Plan. It is a collaborative, collective effort of the various stakeholders of TESDA involving the TVIs, the Industry Sector, the Private sector and inputs from National Line Agencies and the Local Government Units. Prior to the updating of the previous PTESD Plan, a planning workshop for the Planning Officers of the 5 operating units of TESDA-10 was conducted at Iligan City last July 23-24, 2009. The said workshop was designed to equip the Planning officers with Planning Concepts and principles inorder to come up with a common understanding of TESDAs Planning Process. It was also designed to come up with a uniform approach to planning, agree on the formats of the Plan in terms of content which covers eight major chapters. Consequently, the PTESD Planning Process has eight major stages as follows: STEP 1: Area Research: Physical and Contextual Literature reviews on development planning approaches as well as multi-level policy directions were undertaken as major inputs to the Plan. These inputs are created as a knowledge base from which further work would evolve. Literature reviews will be completed on the following topics: Topic 1: Policy Directions TESDA Vision and Mission Statement National and Local VMOs relevant to the paper Provincial Development Plan Topic 2: Planning Environment Stakeholders Profile Physical and demographics Labor Market Information Compilation of available statistics on poverty levels, employment, and other socioeconomic measures
STEP 2: Defining TESD Development Directions vi-a-vis Priority Investment Plans STEP 3: Development/Enhancement of PSP Survey Tool STEP 4. The Provincial Investment Priorities: Survey STEP 5. PSP Validation Workshop After the initial inputs were consolidated, two major Focused Group Discussions among representatives of key industries/sectors (the Demand side) and the TVIs of Lanao del Norte (the
Page 10
2010-2013
Supply Side) were held in January, 2009 to validate the ciritical skills gathered during the survey and to generate labor-market information particularly on the following essentials for TVET planning. 1. 2. 3. 4. Critical job skill in sector and industries; The present and prospective shortage situation of critical job skills; The most likely reasons for such skills shortage; and The reasons and attributes to either TVET or non-TVET factors.
STEP 6. The Provincial Investment Priorities: Endorsement by PTESDC STEP 7: PTESD Plan Writeshop: Analysis and Recommendations The TESDA Provincial Office would compile all data collected during the administration of the PSP Survey Tool as validated by the Sectoral Champions, consolidate the TVET Issues and challenges generated during the Focused Group Discussions and analyze the results. STEP 8: The Final Report: PTESDC Review and Endorsement A final report would be submitted to the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (PTESDC) for final review endorsement to the TESDA Regional Office 10 for monitoring and evaluation and to concerned stakeholders as their blueprint for TESD-related interventions.

Stakeholders Profile
The province of Lanao del Norte boasts of its vibrant interaction and partnership with stakeholders in the delivery of development initiatives. Most of these partners and stakeholders are active providers of TVET in four training modalities namely: School-Based, Center-Based, Enterprise-Based and Community-Based. Players and providers of the School-Based Programs are private technical-vocational institutions (TVIs), the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), and the Schools, Universities and Colleges (SUCs) offering registered programs monitored under TESDAs Unified TVET Program Registration and Accreditation System (UTPRAS). As of 2009, there are 19 Private Technical Institutions (TVIs) and 12 Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). TVET Providers in the Enterprise-Based include industries and firms providing skills training and re-training to their existing personnel and newly hires. Some of these firms are participants to TESDAs Kasanayan at Hanapbuhay (KASH) Program, Apprenticeship Program, Dualized Training Program, and the school-firm partnership industry exposure for students, the On-the-Job (OJT) Program. In Lanao del Norte, there are 12 established industries and companies that are active in TVET provision. Center Based Programs are usually provided by three TESDA Technology Institutes present in the province, the Regional training Center-Iligan, the Salvador Trade School (STS) in Salvador, Lanao del Norte, and the Lanao Norte National Agro-Industrial School (LNNAIS) in Bualan, Tubod, Lanao del Norte. However, there are also public-owned/initiated training centers that belong to this category. These those that concern with livelihood-based skills training programs of DEpEd under their ALS program, of the Social Welfare and Development Office, of the Provincial/Municipal/City Agriculture Office among others that are normally done in designated training venues and centers. For Community-Based training programs, players and stakeholders include the Local Government Units (LGUs), the National Line Agencies (NLAs), Non-Government Organization (NGOs), and other Peoples Organization (POs). These players normally conduct TechnologyBased Community Training Programs (TBCTP) on site where beneficiaries actually live and make a living. Programs are usually short-term and are focused only on clusters of competency. There are 14 LGUs, 11 NLAs/devolved agencies, and 16 NGOs and POs that are active in the delivery of TBCTP in the province of Lanao del Norte:

THE PROVINCIAL TESD FRAMEWORK
The TESD Framework

The socio-economic difficulties in Lanao del Norte and Iligan City underpin on the low investment in the TVET sector. Widespread displacement of workers particularly in the private enterprises contributed further to the mismatch of demand versus supply of technical education and training, a state where there are a number of graduates are produced by TVET institutions but cannot be absorbed by the job market because such skills produced are not critically demanded by the employers of existing and emerging economies. The institutions may however invest in TVET programs but only on those with low investment requirements in terms of facilities and equipment. Ignoring this present condition would result to increasing the poverty incidence in the area caused by low employment rate which is already considered among the highest in the country.

development in TVET while responding to the socio-economic needs of the area. Labor market information must serve as a guide in TVET investment by various TVET Providers inorder to produce the desired quality of workers demanded by the job market, matching of skills demand and supply. Employment tracking system of graduates must be institutionalized, such that, No TVET program if no employment policy must be advocated. To address the pressing challenges in technical-vocational education and training as it relates to the development objectives of the Province of Lanao del Norte, the following strategies will be employed: Implementation of enhanced/expanded Technology-based Community Development Programs. Improving the TVET system, standards and quality of TVET programs. Establishment of training centers. Implementation of a ladderized interface between TVET and higher education. More Scholarships and financial assistance for TVET students/learners. Promotion of alternative learning systems for youth and adults.
TVET Issues and Challenges Macro-Level Challenges:

The Summary of Presidential Directives Volume 17, issued on January 2008 by Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal, Arroyo highlighted several key points as the governments policy statements vis-a-vis the impact of economic downturn affecting TVET-related developments. Such policy statements are major challenges that every public and private institutions are to hurdle and become bases for their development initiatives employing either TESD-related or non-TESD related approaches: Fast-tracking of programs to improve food production and distribution like irrigation, farmto-market roads, post-harvest facilities and barangay bagsakan centers; Directing the DPWH to increase the employment of out-of-school youths through the OYSTER program; Directing TESDA to expand TVET program with high chances of employment like welding, butchering, call centers and BPO, and construction (carpentry); Increase micro-financing and loans for small entrepreneurs; Government investments in human and physical infrastructures like roads, bridges, airports, as well as new schools and scholarships; Issuance of EO 652 creating Presidential Task Force for Education to assess, plan and monitor the entire educational system; Education as the key to our next generation in order to get ahead and get a good job; Stopping the collection of miscellaneous expenses on enrollment day; Allocation of 1 billion pesos to TESDA scholarships to give increase access of the poor to quality education and training; Encouraging scholarships in ladderized education Asking the universities and colleges to be updated about the current demands in the local and international markets
Major TVET Challenges vis-a-vis TESDA Mandate

2010-2013
With the increasing recognition of TVETs role in the development of the national economy, the major challenges confronting TVET are in the area of increasing access to and quality of TVET. Massive National TVET Trainers / Assessors Qualification Program. More than increasing the trainers in number, the greater challenge is ensuring their quality. Indeed, this calls for an intensive implementation of an assessment program for Trainers. A number of initiatives have been adopted in response to this such as the adoption of the Philippine TVET Trainers Qualifications Framework (PTTQF). Expanding the Capacity of Private TVET Institutions through Scholarships. The other major challenge is expanding the capacity of private TVET institutions through scholarships. It makes the TVET system highly accessible to poor but deserving Filipinos who require and need economic empowerment through the acquisition of competitive competencies that meet job requirements. Global competitiveness. The rapid pace of globalization pressures nations to be competitive in order to survive. This ushers the freer permeability of human resources among countries. While it poses as a huge challenge to the survival of Filipino workforce in the global market, it yields various opportunities. Relevance, equity, accessibility and cost-efficiency of TVET. In pursuit of relevant, accessible, equal and cost-efficient TVET, TESDA will gear up to raise the capacity of TVET by being more innovative in managing its resources and tapping more partners that could augment the limited resources, and satisfy the demands of the industries.
Issues and Challenges at the Sector Level

At the national level, the following sectors are identified as critical as they have high socioeconomic impact. It is also good to look into the issues and challenges these sectors are facing despite their weak presence in the Province of Lanao del Norte. As some of these sectors offer lucrative opportunities for employment and income generation, the Province, despite its being predominantly agricultural in nature, will putting-in people through human development efforts immediate and future out-bound/in-bound employment opportunities based on the economic trends and global economic developments. Below are the sectors covered: 1. Manufacturing, Metals and Engineering The field of manufacturing has undergone dramatic changes during the past decade due to rapid technological advances, emerging new materials, globalization impacts, and heightened environmental concerns. 2. Construction Sector The local construction industry is experiencing a good growth pattern over the past several years and expected to continue yet quite slower that last year as it is still bombarded by issues of experts piracy. The international construction market holds much promise, with the building demand of the Middle East and nearby will be the Andersen Air Base expansion in Guam. All these contribute to the need of more engineers in quantities never heard of before. 3. Electronics Sector The sector is worth a US$31 Billion industry, 64% of the total exports of the country. Investment in 2007 is 1.4M USD, hence, there is a critical need for managerial talents responsible for every line department at the firms level Two major types of trainings for the sector and vary accordingly per functional group, job level and type includes higher and specialized skills and behavioral and interpersonal skills
Page 18
2010-2013
4. ICT and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) In 2007, it is estimated that revenues reached USD5 billion and employment grew to 320,000 employees. It is for these achievements that the country, Philippines, was named the Best Outsourcing Destination in 2007 by the National Outsourcing Association of the United Kingdom. The Philippine O&O industry has grown rapidly because it has the ingredients critical to O&O service providers and customers, most particularly, a large English-proficient human resource base 5. Healthcare Services Sector The demand for medical tourism jobs in the country is not that high yet, hence, there is more room for exploration, since the Philippines is at an advantage over non-English countries Thailand and India There is generally a problem of oversupply in the health sector. Most students enroll in health related courses not to work locally but to deliberately work abroad. The large demand for Caregivers calls for an effective repository of labor market information such as job opportunities and placement procedures inorder to maximize high cost of training. 6. Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Services Sector According to the Experts Panel on tourism, travel and hospitality services sector, the sector is still on data generation stage in terms of the 5As of tourism, resulting to a large mismatch of skills and job requirements. Growth in the provinces depends on the kind and disposition of entrepreneurs in the area. The government bureaucracy and political influences are controlling the promotion of tourism potentials such that resources are spread too thinly to please the politicians. The efforts cannot be concentrated and therefore success is limited. 7. Agri-Fishery Sector Rich, arable farmland comprises more than 40% of the total land area of the country, yet it is still confronted with issues on infrastructure inadequacy, lack of financing, and non-pro poor government policies Notwithstanding good prospects for marine fisheries, the fishery industry continues to face a difficult future due to destructive fishing methods, a lack of funds, and inadequate government support. Agriculture generally suffers from low productivity, low economies of scale, and inadequate infrastructure support.
Issues and Challenges: Province of Lanao del Norte

The set of issues and problems generated from various consultations and analyses of the planning environment is summarized as cause and effect relationships which is depicted in a problem tree. The analysis shows that the core problem revolves around insufficiency in family incomes to meet basic needs and to be able to enjoy simple amenities in life. With the magnitude of the provinces low income families, poverty incidence is relatively high which is placed at 44.1% in 2006. Further, the Problem Tree tells us that because of Poor Attitudes and the Large Number of Family Size, among other physical and human causes, resulted to three major contributors of high poverty incidence. These are Low Agricultural Productivity, Declining Productivity in Fishery and Coastal Resources, and Unemployment/underemployment which resulted to low or insufficient family income.

Priority Sectors and Industries Labor Market Information Global Scenario1:

In January 2009, the ILO constructed and published three scenarios for how the crisis would impact global and regional unemployment in 2009-2010. Based on these three scenarios, the ILO indicated in January that global unemployment could increase by between 18 million and 51 million people worldwide from 2007 to 2009, corresponding to a global unemployment rate of between 6.1 per cent and 7.1 per cent. On the basis of downward GDP revisions, the ILO released a revised range in March of between 24 million and 52 million, corresponding to a global unemployment rate of between 6.3 per cent and 7.1 per cent. In 2009, job losses around the world have clearly intensified. The total projected increase in global unemployment between 2008 and 2009 is 21 million people in Scenario 1, 31 million in Scenario 2 and 50 million in the worst case Scenario 3. Due to the significant volatility and uncertainty in economic growth forecasts, precise estimates of the increase in global and regional unemployment are not possible. Given that the current global jobs crisis represents a clear, adverse break in the historical unemployment series for many countries, the lowest unemployment scenario, obtained by applying the historical relationship between GDP growth and unemployment, is no longer realistic. At the same time, the large fiscal policy stimuli and other responses taken by many governments will hopefully reduce the likelihood of unemployment increasing towards the upper range given by Scenario 3. Recovery towards the end of 2009 or in 2010 will depend to a great extent on an amelioration of conditions in finance markets and a strong impact from fiscal measures, both of which remain uncertain outcomes. Impacts on women and youth It is important to note that the crisis is likely to affect some groups of workers more than others. The Global Employment Trends for Women report released in March highlighted the different ways in which men and women are expected to be impacted. The main conclusions were: In most regions, the female unemployment rates are expected to increase more than male unemployment rates, a reflection of womens disproportionate representation in temporary employment and that women tend to comprise a substantial share of employment in export-oriented manufacturing industries in many developing countries. However, in the Developed Economies and the European Union as well as in East Asia regions with limited gender gaps in employment opportunities preceding the current crisis male and female unemployment rates may converge due to the stronger impact of the crisis on male unemployment rates. There is much variation in the gender impact of the economic crisis at the country level. As regards to youth, prior to the onset of the global economic crisis, young people were 2.8 times as likely to be unemployed than adults at the global level. It is therefore a concern that the impact of the economic crisis has been particularly severe for youth, who face a shortage of employment opportunities as they look to enter the labour market. Based on the three GET scenarios, the
1
Based on ILO report on Global Labor Market Employment Report 2009
Page 20
2010-2013
number of unemployed youth is projected to increase by between 4.9 million and 17.7 million from 2008 to 2009. The youth unemployment rate is projected to increase from 12.2 per cent in 2008 to between 13.0 and 15.1 per cent in 2009. For adults, who make up the bulk of the labour force, the projected increase in the unemployment rate is 0.5 to 1.2 percentage points. Impact on total employment Unemployment is on the rise globally, but does this mean that employment around the world is shrinking? Globally, the short answer is no. Between 2000 and 2007, global employment grew at an average annual rate of 1.8 per cent (see Table B3). In 2008, global employment growth decreased to 1.4 per cent and the three unemployment scenarios for 2009 are consistent with growth in global employment of between 0 and 1 per cent. Importantly, all three scenarios reach the same conclusion: Looking at data from 1991 onwards (representing an approximate starting point of a more integrated global economy), 2009 will represent the worst global performance on record in terms of employment creation. Quality of employment: vulnerable employment It is also important to assess whether employment quality is declining. In the previous Global Employment Trends reports on the crisis, the ILO produced scenarios to gauge the impact of the crisis on vulnerable employment, which is calculated as the sum of own-account workers and contributing family workers. Many workers in these types of employment status, particularly in developing economies but at times in developed economies as well, do not benefit from a social safety net if they lose their livelihoods or face challenges such as personal or family member illnesses. These workers are also less likely than more formal wage and salary employees to receive an adequate income and have their fundamental labour rights respected. Implications for labour productivity In addition to rising unemployment and a potential increase in vulnerable employment, the crisis is having a serious negative impact on average output per worker, an indicator of labour productivity. The ILO unemployment scenarios can also be utilized to produce scenarios of labour productivity growth for 2009. Globally, however, output per worker is expected to decline by between 1.3 per cent and 2.3 per cent this year. Negative growth is projected in all scenarios in all regions except East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.
National Scenario: Philippines

The Economy Today The Philippine economy seems comparatively well-equipped to weather the global financial crisis in the short term, partly as a result of the efforts over the past few years to control the fiscal deficit, bring down debt ratios, and adopt internationally-accepted banking sector capital adequacy standards. While direct financial exposure to problematic investments and financial institutions is limited, the impact of external shocks to economic growth, poverty alleviation, employment, remittances, credit availability, and overall investment prospects is a concern. GDP grew by 7.3% in 2007, the fastest annual pace of growth in over three decades--fueled by increased government and private construction expenditures; a robust information communications technology industry; improved post-drought agricultural harvests; and strong private consumption, spurred in part by $14.4 billion in remittances from overseas workers
Page 21
2010-2013
(equivalent to about 10% of GDP). However, real year-on-year GDP growth slowed to 3.8% during 2008, reflecting the impact of high food and fuel prices and global financial uncertainties on the domestic economy. Overseas workers remittances--which increased 13.7% year-on-year in 2008 to a new $16.4 billion record--helped cushion the impact of external shocks on economic growth, but began to slow during 2008s fourth quarter. Remittances are expected to grow 3%-4% in 2009 despite the global financial crisis, helping the economy avoid recession and supporting the balance of payments and international reserves. Most independent forecasts also currently see Philippine GDP growing within the governments 0.8%-1.8% targeted range for 2009. It will take a higher, sustained economic growth path to make more appreciable progress in poverty alleviation given the Philippines' annual population growth rate of 2.04%, one of the highest in Asia. The portion of the population living below the national poverty line increased from 30% to 33% between 2003 and 2006, equivalent to an additional 3.8 million poor Filipinos. Slower economic growth here and abroad, a soft domestic labor market, and uncertainties over overseas employment opportunities threaten to push more Filipinos into poverty. Employment and Poverty Today Pressure on job creation may arise as the government unwinds its fiscal stimulus program. With the narrowing fiscal space, concern on the sustainability of public spending will eventually call for a reduction in spending. As job creation is largely driven by government spending (e.g., the CLEEP program), unemployment may rise with the weakening of public spending. Electionrelated spending may create additional buffer towards May 2010, especially for the informal labor sector. Notwithstanding measures taken by the Philippine authorities, the global recession is projected to throw 1.4 million Filipinos into poverty by 2010. Based on a macro-micro simulation exercise for the Philippines, the poverty rate is estimated to be 0.9 and 1.5 percentage points higher in 2009 and 2010 respectively as a result of the global recession, compared to what would have been without it. The impact of the crisis on urban areas, the manufacturing and services sectors, and for female-headed households is expected to be particularly high. Labor market conditions are expected to deteriorate significantly in 2009 and through 2010. Several factors point to this conclusion. First, while signs of a weakening labor market abound, the economic slowdown observed in 2008 and in the first months of 2009 has yet to be transmitted fully to the labor market, as labor market developments trail economic activity. Second, the global recession is likely to lead, again with a lag, to a slowdown in net OFW deployments as global unemployment rises. Finally, a structural factor is also adding to the cyclical factors in weakening the labor market, namely a projected sharp increase in the labor force during 2008-2010 resulting from population dynamics. The deteriorating labor market is estimated to first affect the non-poor urban and young workers and to then spread to the poor as under-employment and informality of jobs rise.
Regional Scenario: Northern Mindanao

Region Ten is still growing at a fast pace. This growth is the highest registered among the 17 regions in the country making the region the fastest growing regional economy in 2008. With the growth, the region increased its share to the GDP from 4.9 to 5.0 percent, the region being among the 6 regions with GDP share of 5% and above. Northern Mindanao still has the 3 rd highest per capita GRDP, nationwide. The region remains to be the biggest economy in Mindanao with a Gross Regional Domestic Product of PhP71.1 billion pesos. Even with the economic slowdown, the regional economic structure continues its transformation from previously agricultureled to more of services and industry. Even, the present structure is
Page 22
2010-2013
still relatively balanced such that a good performance of one sector could more or less offset the declines in the other sectors. The effects of the economic problems were manifested in the huge declines in the growths in the services and industry sectors. These, however were cushioned by the very good performance in the agriculture sector. This a reversal in sectoral performance in the previous years where services and industry were the major drivers Agricultural production, on the whole, continues its increasing trend. Modest growths were noted in almost all crops specially for rice, although corn suffered the consequences of the bad weather in the first quarter. Livestock and fishery production registered modest increases, as well. In the Industry sector, what was evidently hit by the crisis the manufacturing sub-sector which grew less than half of what was realized in 2007. Being the biggest contributor in this sector at about 22 percent of the GRDP, it brought down the growth in the industry sector even as mining and quarrying sub-sector registered a 20% growth. Performance in the Industry sector is greatly affected by the slowdown in manufacturing industry. The slowdown in the Service Sector very pronounced in the Trade sub-sector which registered only 1.6% growth from a 10.7 growth in the previous year. Contributing on about 2.5%, the increase in government services was not enough to offset the huge reductions in the other subsectors. Growth in Services was mostly pulled down by the slowdown in trade. Poverty and GDP The number of poor families increased by 6,516 between 2003 and 2006 in spite of the reduction in poverty incidence to 36.1 percent in 2006 from 37.7 percent in 2003. However, it is substantially higher than the national average of 26.9 percent and the plan target for 2006 of 29% to 31%. However, even with our high growth regime, we are still hounded by poverty. NSCB estimates that for every 1% increase in per capita GRDP, poverty incidence will decrease by only 0.18%. This would show that growth in the economy and access to productive resources are not well distributed across the economic strata of the population. High GRDP growths did not translate into reduction in poverty as a 1% increase in per Capita GRDP will decrease poverty incidence by only 0.1794%. As of April 2009, the employment rate slightly dropped to 94.8% from 95% in April 2008. Underemployment, however, declined from 26.7% to 24.5 percent.
Provincial Economic Performance: Lanao del Norte

Economic Activities The hierarchy of Lanao del Nortes specialization based on family income data as shown in the graph below are as follows: (A) community/social/personal services (28.90%); (B) agriculture/ fishery/forestry (26.40%); (C) wholesale/retail (13.10%); (D) transportation/storage/ communications (10.60%); (E) manufacturing (8.60%); (F) finance/real estate/business services; (G) construction (5%) and (H) electricity/gas/water. A. Agriculture/Fishing/Forestry
Page 23
2010-2013
While Lanao del Nortes industry specialization is on community/social/personal services sector, agriculture remains to be its economic driving force. About 40 percent of its total land area is devoted to crop production and other agriculture-related activities. The provinces climate and topography is suitable to all kinds of crops with rice corn, coconut, banana, fruits, vegetables and rootcrops as the major agricultural products. The fishery sector shall continue to given priority due to the high export potentials of existing products particularly seaweeds and crabs. Crop Production Based on production volume and the relative importance to the provinces economy, its main crops are palay, corn, coconut and banana. Calamansi is of emerging importance in relation to potential for contributing to local economic growth. Palay. Lanao del Norte consistently ranks second to Bukidnon in the region in terms of total regional palay production. In 2007, its production increased by 6.8% from 134,751 metric tons in 2006 to 143,905 metric tons. This is accompanied by the increase in the total area harvested by 4.3% or 1,619 hectares and the average yield per hectare at 3.7 metric tons/hectare. However, its average yield is still below the regional average of 3.9 metric tons/hectare in 2007. Corn. The three provinces in the region including Lanao del Norte experienced increases in corn production. Lanao del Norte posted the highest increase (15%) and Misamis Occidental, the lowest (4%). The regions total production slightly increased by 9% as Bukidnon (which contribute 67% of the regions total production) went up by only 9%. Coconut. Lanao del Norte has the highest nut production in the region. From 2005 to 2006, production grew by 2%. The province of Bukidnon posted the highest growth rate of 12%. The other provinces recorded declines in nut production pulling down the regions nut production by 1%. As to mature nut production, the decline is brought about by a corresponding decrease in copra production. Meanwhile, the provinces copra production increased by 3% or 3,239 metric ton from 119,039 MT in 2005 to 122,278 MT in 2006.. The increase is attributed to the favorable climate in Lanao del Norte. Production of green nut declined in Bukidnon (3%), Lanao del Norte (24%) and Misamis Occidental (14%). However, the regions production slightly went up by 2% from 2,424,085 in 2005 to 2,464,274 in 2006. This is attributed to the increases in Camiguin and Misamis Oriental, with 15% and six percent, respectively. Banana. Approximately 8,760 hectares of agricultural areas are devoted to banana production with an average yield of 31.9 metric tons per hectare. Lanao del Norte contributes about 31% to regional production in 2007. Production areas in spread across municipalities but the bulk of production is in the municipalities of Tubod-1875 hectares, Magsaysay-934 hectares, Sapad-714.5 hectares, Lala-385 hectares, Salvador-207 hectares, Matungao163.78 hectares, Nunungan-161 hectares, Kauswagan-143 hectares, Baroy-111 hectares, Tagoloan-110 hectares. Total area production is 5493.55 hectares. Calamansi. Calamansi is largely grown in the municipalities of Lala, Sapad, Kapatagn, Salvador and Baroy covering an estimated area of 419 hectares with an estimated production volume of 270 metric tons per month. This supply goes to Cebu City and its neighboring cities
Page 24
2010-2013
and provinces. In addition to raw calamansi as industry output, calamansi fruits are likewise processed into juice concentrates. A calamansi processing plant was established at barangay Pinuyak in the municipality of Lala with a daily capacity of 125 liters, which produces calamansi concentrate and ready-to-drink calamansi juice in PET bottles. The processing plant provides employment to over 87 members of the Pinuyak Farmers multipurpose cooperative. Livestock and Poultry. The provinces livestock inventory which is 9% relative to the regions total production, managed to increase by 4% from 176,279 heads in 2006 to 182,628 heads in 2008 in spite of the decrease in cattle and carabao inventory by 5% and 3%, respectively. However, the provinces poultry inventory which contributes 23% to the regions total in 2007, posted a decrease in inventory by 2% from 47,408 heads in 2006 to 46,466 heads in 2007. For fowls, chicken inventory for the province increased by 11% (from 1,228,909 heads in 2006 to 1,298,325 heads in CY 2007 with hefty increase noted in the inventory of native chicken. Dairy. The Lanao Foundation Inc, (LFI) Dairy Project in the municipality of Sultan Naga Dimaporo (SND) is established in four sites. It started with the importation of 50 dairy heifers in 2004. An additional of 1,063 heads dairy cows were imported in the next two succeeding years. At present, it has a herd population of 1,932 heads including the 146 non-dairy cows purchased by LFI for upgrading program. It is composed of four composite farm sites and still expanding with a current pasture development program of 500 hectares. The total land area is 1,484 hectares with a 2,243 A.U. carrying capacity. The current available livestock animal unit is 1,431.1 A.U. and could still accommodate 811.90 A.U. within this year. Its milk processing plant is equipped with a milking a parlor, milk processing plant and milk plant laboratory. The milk processing plant can process 3,500 liters of milk per hour. Its current production level is 35,000 liters per month. Halal Meat. The Lanao Foundation Inc. (LFI) Halal Processing Plant will be catering for the needs for halal meat for Moslem customers who rarely find said products in the department stores and other outlets, mainly in Lanao del Norte, Lanao deo Sur, Iligan City, Ozamiz City and other neighboring urban areas. The processing plant is established at Bangaan, SND, Lanao del Norte. The area is accessible to any land transportation since it is only 10 kms. away from Poblacion, SND, Lanao del Norte. It is capable to process 300 kg per day on corned beef, beef tapa and beef patties. With the volume of production, the Company has trained employees under the supervision of a production in-charge who is a Food Technologists. Fish Production. Fish production in Lanao del Norte comes from three sources: commercial, municipal and aquaculture. Aquaculture fish production is the major source which constitutes 64% of total fish production. The provinces fish production in 2007 of 65,540 metric tons represents 46% of regions production. Mudcrab. Lanao del Norte, particularly the municipalities of Kapatagan and Lala, is the source of crablets for mudcrab culture outside the province. Mudcrab production in the province in 2007 is recorded at 2,945 metric tons. Seaweeds. About 224 hectares are planted with seaweeds in the municipalities of Kolambugan and Tubod providing for employment to more than a thousand seaweed growers. Seaweed production recorded a positive growth from 14,806 metric tons in 2005 to 27,524 metric tons in 2007. In 2007 alone, total domestic sale is recorded at P20.18 million.
Page 25
2010-2013
Forestry. Among the provinces, only Lanao del Norte experienced a decline of 9.2% in production from 4.645 cubic meters in 2005 to 4,218 cubic meters in 2006. The decrease was due to the imposition of total log ban in the province per DAO 2006-13 issued by the DENR.
B. Trade, Industry and Tourism DTI-Monitored Investment Three provinces in the region, namely, Bukidnon, Lanao del Norte and Camiguin experienced an increase in investment by 41%, 34% and 6%, respectively. However, the regions total investment was pulled down as investment of Misamis Oriental, which contributes 39.27% of the regions total investment, declined by 58% from 15,992.38 million in 2006 to 6,705.46 million in 2007. C. Tourism Lanao del Norte which ranks 4 th next to Camiguin, Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental posted a 9.2% increase with most arrivals coming from other places in the Philippines. The increase is due to its doubled efforts in promoting the province as the Land of Beauty and Bounty. As manifestations of all these, various projects/activities were undertaken such as: i) participation to national and local events like Philippine Travel Mart, Trade Fair and Pasundayag sa Northern Mindanao ii) exposures on TV and magazines such as Living Asia Channels, DOT Trail Magazine and DOT 10 Bulletin ii) establishment of the Provincial Museum that displays maranao paraphernalia, antiques that has been donated by some government officials and private sector within the province, municipal tourist attractions and festival costumes, and turugan (a maranao royal house) and iii) preparations of different promotional materials like tour packages, video presentations, flyers and brochures.
Provincial Skills Priorities

Under the PSALM Approach, occupational skills are critical if they are essential and indispensable in the operations of the firm within an industry. The Provinces critical skills are determined through a survey with the various sectors, and were validated through a Sectoral Champion Consultation Workshop. The critical skills determination was based on the stakeholders/respondents perception of the sector vis--vis assessment of the multi-level (global, national, regional and provincial levels) economic situation and outlook. The determination of the number of actual workers needed in a particular occupation in a specific sector was based on estimates which again the socio-economic growth of the province as well as the regional economic influence were used as the foundation. For the province of Lanao del Norte, the critical skills are determined on the basis of importance to the local economy, such that, the Services topped the list, followed by Agri-fishery, then the Industry and Trade. Under the major sectoral groupings are the following: 1. Services Health Services Social and Personal Services

STRATEGIC RESONSE Analysis of Skills Gaps and Proactive Leverages

Taking into consideration the priority skills identified in the previous chapter, the critical skills considered for the Provincial Skills Priorities took cognizance of the occupations the key sectors and industries as enumerated in the previous sections and chapters, the development trends and perspectives obtained in the different sectors of the economy of the global economy which trickles down into the local settings, national, regional and provincial. The pronouncements of the government in terms of poverty alleviation and proposed initiatives in the governments economic resiliency plan, which may be translated into TESD-related initiatives are also taken into consideration. A modest projection for programs and projects of the Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte that are in pipeline and are emerging, are also basis of skills analysis.
Causes of Skills Shortage, Oversupply and Mismatches:

A skills shortage occurs when the firms as buyers of skills find difficulties in sourcing out the skill from the labor market. The true skills shortage situation in the market is when the skills with a relatively high wage rate, but with no sellers of the said skill needed skill; or when labor is imported to the unavailability of said skills. Per information generated from the key informants, there are several factors that are contributory to the skills shortages and/or oversupply as follows: Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry Sector: Skills of available farm worker lack the needed soft skills like leadership, communications, interpersonal skills, and community organizing skills There are no TVET Providers that offer agri-fishery and forestry-related programs (nondegree) in the province, except 1 TESDA Technology Institute There is still a stigma attached to Agri-fishery related qualifications Agri-culture and fishery related short-term training programs offered as community-based technology programs are not really responsive to the actual needs of the community; such that existing assets in the community are not seriously being maximized Though Lanao del Norte has a large fishing area, its water resource is not fully maximized as revenue-generating for the community engaged in fishing activities. Limited availability of farm-based skills due to low regard to agricultural/farm worker as a gainful occupation Skills requirement is limited to multinational companies needs There is problem on peace and order in areas covered by agricultural crops production Social and Other Personal Services: There is a shortage of skills on Security Services because Training Providers are limited by other government regulatory bodies like the FSAG and concerned military institutions whose policies limit the effectiveness of TESDA Regulations Most of the Security Training Agencies take TESDAs standards and regulations for compliance purposes only, such that, they dont care to even report the status of training and employment of their graduates, hence, supply and demand are not reliably determined Recently, due to governments subsidized training initiatives like the Pangulong Gloria Scholarship (PGS), graduates are in qualifications like Bookkeeping, Security Services, Household Services, etc. are in surplus because there is no clear information as to what local industries that actually absorb or need them.
Page 28
2010-2013
Health Sector: There is an oversupply of caregivers because nurses who cannot pass the more stringent requirements of employment abroad ended up becoming caregivers. Doctors who also want to get employment abroad find the care giving occupation as the easiest gate pass while enrolling as nurses. A number of industries find it hard to hire the right people resulting to many unfilled positions despite their being required/needed in hospitals, clinics and other health-related institutions In the Philippines, in principle, there is the demand for health professionals to address the basic and more serious health needs of the people. But data on institutional profiles of the sector, needed number and status of hospitals, health centers and clinics to address the needs of the consuming public are not readily available. In government health institutions, there are only a few positions specified under its plantilla posts. Caregivers have nowhere to practice their expertise before getting a job abroad, or even a temporary position where they can have actual industry exposure. There is mismatch of health curriculum with the international standards. Aiming for global competitiveness requires infusing international industry requirements in the curriculum. This is where problems in the assessment activities usually come in such that the Test Package does not require Red Cross-specified competencies, yet, most schools/institutions are required by Red Cross to follow their standards in their instructions. There is limited information as to where exactly the demands for health care practitioners come from, and where should the data come from, who generates the reliable data, etc. hence, data on supply and demand is conflicting. Tourism There are limited programs and providers of tourism-related occupations and its allied industries Culinary Arts and Commercial Cooking have very limited enrollees despite high demands due to high cost of training particularly in the practical stage of training as well as during the assessment of skills. Government perspective is based on what the international market wants, unmindful of the entrepreneurial avenues of the sector. But even with an entrepreneurial mindset, without the necessary capital infusion from healthy financial institutions tourism-related occupations may become futile, so supply is very limited. The school calls their industry partners internship partners. The students and parents are told these establishments are tied up with them for the internship of the students. However, at the end of the training, not all graduates can be accommodated which resulted to a bad impression of the sector. Tour Guiding and Travel Promotions are two occupations which the province of Lanao del Norte need to develop. Despite the provinces objective of promotion the province, particularly the City of Iligan as tourist destination, but the needed support services to cater tourists needs and sustain their attractions to the province is very limited. Training on Tour guiding is limited only to DOT-coordinated programs. No Training Providers yet are present in the Province due to unavailability of qualified trainers. Manufacturing From national industry perspective, manufacturing and engineering-related jobs essentially cover maintenance and repair of machineries installed in power generating
Page 29
2010-2013
plants and in manufacturing facilities for textile, food, beverage and other consumer products only, of which, these jobs are mostly occupied by professionals. These jobs are found in the domestic and overseas labor markets. In the domestic front, it is largely found in the state and privately managed industrial and special economic zones concentrated in Metro Manila, Central Luzon, Southern Tagalog and Cebu in Central Visayas region, while manufacturing activities in the Province are limited mostly on cottage industries. In the manufacturing sector, the pressure is high to keep up with the advancements in new technologies to stay competitive. However, any technology changes embraced by a manufacturing plant are inextricably linked to new and continuing developments in the electronics field e.g. pneumatics, robotic, electro-mechanical which are very rare within the regional and provincial levels. Construction Most employers are still hesitant to fund their professional staff with the absence of a provision that would ensure their retention and continually serve them for certain periods of time. There is a huge scarcity for qualified people to fill in the upper levels jobs in the construction sector. Decision-making skills cannot be taught overnight. For those required in the lower levels, the industry can send the existing staff and the new graduates for additional training, but still the employers are hesitant to invest for reasons of security of tenure. Employers do not only prefer their newly hires to be just technically skilled, they want something more from their workers, such as communication skills, interpersonal skills, project management skills, safety and occupational health among others. Electronics The sector is well-organized and is blessed with an industry training policy however, it employs a seemingly bureaucratic system operating like an inverted pyramid in the number of people per level, which means: - most people have to be trained first before being able to operate in plants - many have no working knowledge - few people can work independently within standard - fewer are able to effectively lead, teach and tackle people and task problems and - very few can initiate and deliver innovations In relation to engineering undergraduates and graduates There is no available test package yet for specialized competencies in electronics, hence, skills supply is mostly on Consumer Electronics and Mechatronics. There are many talented Filipinos abroad, who have undergone specialized training in the electronics sector, and who need to find opportunities back home, the question is, do we have the database? ICT & BPO The Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) is the umbrella organization for the fastest-growing industry in the Philippines: off-shoring and outsourcing (O&O). BPAP serves as the one-stop information and advocacy gateway for the country's key O&O services sector and has over 200 company members. This arrangement, accordingly limits the participation of other tech-voc providers in the sector, because they have to comply with tedious requirements of the association, lagging behind in meeting the number required by employers.
Page 30
2010-2013
BPAP is doing marketing missions abroad and very aggressively negotiate to the investors for demands resulting to increasing demands for talents that BPAP alone cannot cope up in terms of recruitment and training. Although training standards are available under this sector, but they are only limited to Contact Center Services, English Proficiency and Computer-Based Language Proficiency. Other competencies required in the BPO industries like Back Office management, people skills, etc. are not being provided, hence, graduates end up under trained. Low level of awareness and willingness from students to explore careers in the BPO sector contributed to the shortage of skills. BPO is not yet a popular career of choice for the students because most of them want to be nurses. BPAP was not able to access many Universities both in Metro Manila and especially outside Metro Manila. Various back office processing jobs such as HR, finance/accounting transaction, finance/accounting complex, engineering, ICT operations, general and supervisory jobs are not provided for in TESDA Training Standards, hence, graduates fall short of the industry requirements. Trade (Wholesale and Retail) According to DTI, there are around 800,000 retail firms in the country, including moms and pops (sari-sari stores) or micro-enterprises which are abundant job market absorbers. However, there is no school in the Philippines offering retail courses. Retailers largely rely on the firm-based actual exposure as a training avenue. In Community-based training programs of the LGUs and NLAs, entrepreneurship training programs do not necessarily focused on retailing system and small business management, but mostly on entrepreneurship motivation and appreciation. In retailing, one does not have to really go to school to be able to sell. But the need to study entrepreneurship principles arises with the need to professionalize the sector and become more competitive. Critical retail jobs are the front-liners and the store managers. There is a demand ratio of 5 front-liners to 1 manager. Frontliners are more critical. For every shop, small or big, in and outside the mall, a front-liner is needed. Hence, the demand for front-liners is huge in both local and global markets. Concretely, demands for trained Filipino frontliners come from Kuwait and other Middle East countries, Singapore, Macau and Portugal, however, there is very limited skilled workers for this occupation, but the unemployed degree holders in accounting, commerce, education, and even nurses.
Sectoral Strategies and Priority Interventions

Major Issues and Challenges Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry: Agriculture still suffers from low productivity, low economies of scale, and inadequate infrastructure support There is still severe problem on deforestation Fisherfolks still practice destructive fishing methods due to lack f funds, and inadequate government support Agricultural workers still have low impression on organic farming, hence, there is still a huge problem on ecological imbalance
Strategic Response Initiating dynamic, community-based, and participatory land-use planning processes that identify and mitigate the risks of natural resource degradation and other adverse environmental impacts Socioeconomic support to improve the capacity of farmers and fisherfolk in poorer areas to manage efficiently their resources through holistic management systems, hand in hand with the equitable distribution of productive resources, access to capital, and employment opportunities; Encouraging greater investment in human capital and rural infrastructure, including the improved use of information and communication technology, and
Page 31
2010-2013
Major Issues and Challenges
Strategic Response training and empowering municipal agricultural workers to work with farmers and fisherfolk in applying environmentally sound production methods; and Continuing assessment, monitoring, and evaluation of environmental impacts in all segments of the food production chain through information management, decision-support systems, indicators of sustainability, and geographic referencing of information (especially by linking agro-ecological zone characteristics to district and national planning units.) Massive promotion among farmers the use of organic farming and environment-friendly technologies and cultural practices as means of sustaining ecological balance and enhancing productivity
Professionalizing the whole industry from operators to staff for the whole sector and not for a particular company in terms of business management, marketing management, accounting, personnel management, etc.
Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Services: The sector is still on its data generation and clarifying stage despite years of existence There is huge curriculum mismatch between the industry (hospitality services) and the academe Curriculum updating cannot keep abreast with the fast changing technology Enterprise owners and operators need training on travel and hospitality related businesses Government bureaucracy and political influences are controlling the promotion of tourism potentials
Accrediting industry practitioners as part-time school lecturers by: - creating measures to make tourism programs more industry attuned. - harmonizing trainers requirements by CHED against PTTA recommendations and TESDA training standards. Encouraging documentation of Tourism Benchmarks, Learning and Communication Materials to advocate tourism related programs and tourist attractions Strengthening awareness raising and direct action programs of the sector in relation to divides between HEI and TVET programs and its implication to making ladderization Inculcating among students what a quality sector employee is by incorporating in the curriculum the communication skills, people skills, teamwork, etc.
Providing cross-cultural learning opportunities to students and to establish international linkages
ICT and BPO Sector: The BPO Industry is not yet popular in the country particularly in the Provinces Huge demands cannot be coped-up by the BPAP Skills specifically required by the BPO firms (Off-shoring and Outsourcing firms) are not being met by the TVET providers curriculum mismatch. Rapidly growing global demands have left a large number of skilled workers leaving
Enjoining TVET providers to incorporate in their training curricula among others technical proficiency in the industry or field of discipline covered under a particular BPO account and a functional knowledge on world geography
Mainstreaming an English language proficiency program (with primary focus on conversational and business English) in all degree and non-degree programs Strengthening IT, science, math and business related competencies beneficial for BPO and all other sectors Massive campaigns in universities to improve awareness on BPO sector
Page 32
2010-2013
Major Issues and Challenges their own sectors and industries and shifting to BPO services (e.g. nurses to call center agents, etc.)
Healthcare Services Sector: Oversupply of nurses caused a shift-up in the tech-voc courses particularly caregivers. Global demands for health workers are high yet the countrys excess labor supply have not taken advantage or maximized the opportunities There is no updated and regular labor demand monitor on health workers Lack of practice areas and venues for exposures for caregivers in the country Manufacturing, Metals and Engineering: Weak backward linkages of industries Heavy dependence on imported raw materials and intermediate inputs Litigious and comparably high costs in doing business Rapid technological advancements cannot be coped up with the local industries Construction Sector: Rapid technological changes have left the educational institutions far behind New graduates need re-training prior to absorption by the industries which is quiet costly Piracy is common both local and foreign markets for experts and competent workers Very limited number of training providers; hence, construction materials providers put up a training system only to promote their products Electronics Sector: Difficulty to attract duly-prepared graduates and retain trained people
Strategic Response Developing initiatives to improve the curriculum of program of the universities, facilities and faculty training BPO Center to include in their pre-employment training a trainers training program with special focus on BPO requirements, and not just English proficiency Working directly with select universities and interested schools in BPO programs making it as part of preelective courses to support careers in BPO particularly in regulated schools Consider working with other industry groups to focus on initiatives for scaling up Generating honest-to-goodness data for public policy and action. We need to keep watch on demand and supply data, questions of standards, questions of curriculum, and the benchmark criteria that should be used to gauge and address the competitiveness situation of the country. Harmonizing curriculum with those of some major foreign schools. This calls for an equivalency system and international benchmarks of what is acceptable. Having accessible information and advice on local and overseas job and career prospects Providing counseling services to graduates with focus on being assertive and hungry for information.
Regular sector forum for rationalizing & regular updating of curricular programs
Pre-employment training arrangements with industries Define/clarify standard competencies that go with preemployment education and training certificate
Tapping of industry practitioners as trainers for highly specialized skills Standardization of professional fees (international standards) for specialized skills Co-management system and subsidized training programs as focus of government policies
Encouraging high investment in the sector inorder to produce globally competitive players and workers Promotion and accreditation/recognition of competency
Page 33
2010-2013
Major Issues and Challenges Pirating within sectors is rampant Rampant brain-drain
Strategic Response standards used by company training programs Encouraging company sponsorship for further training abroad through a competitive selection Develop brain-gain strategy and incentive schemes Designing and registering a training curriculum for retail training for frontliners ready for local and overseas deployment Establishing apprentice and intern arrangements for OJTs to flexibly incorporate students to retail exposures, practice and knowledge base; coordinate with industry as to right timing for accepting OJTs etc. Government to issue competency based certification for trained retail shop managers, workers and students (OJT, intern, apprentice) recognizable here and elsewhere outside the country.
Trade (Wholesale and Retailing): There is increasing influx of retailing business due to franchising, critical retail jobs do not necessary require training despite need to professionalize the business To respond demands for frontliners abroad, there is a need for training and retraining or retail owners/managers/operators and retail workers There is no school in the country offering retail courses, hiring companies and firms usually do the training for assimilation into the workplace
Provincial TESD Investment Plan

TESDA Lanao del Norte Provincial Office implementation strategy is still anchored on the TESDA implementing strategy frame a Pro-active Job Matching Process where TESDA has adapted the SEEK-FIND-TRAIN (SFT) strategy in aid to of its implementation of its social and economic functions. Briefly, the SFT Strategy is done through the following: SEEK (jobs) through generation of domestic and international market intelligence report to pinpoint specific job requirements. FIND (people) the right people who can be trained to fit the jobs in partnership with NGOs, social welfare agencies / institutions, school and community organizations. TRAIN (people) using standards of quality for TVET developed in consultation with various industry sectors. This pro-active matching process contributes to the best job-skills fit. TESDA also focuses on increasing productivity of implemented training programs by assisting individuals or groups who prefer to go into micro business, small and medium enterprises or entrepreneurship training. It is also through the SFT Strategy that the Provincial Investment Plan will revolve, while taking into consideration the provinces responses to its recurring and most prevalent development issues and strategies. The Provincial TESD Investment Plan takes into account the Provinces development goals, objectives and targets identified to address the development issues discussed in the previous chapters and sections. These goals are translated into specific objectives and targets and corresponding strategies, programs, projects, and activities. Based on the Provinces socio-economic investment plan,
Page 34
2010-2013
corresponding TESD-related interventions are identified and imbedded into the Investment Plan for consideration by various players and stakeholders. The preferred spatial development strategies adopted by the Province of Lanao del Norte served as the foundation for all other socio-economic development undertakings, of which corresponding TESD interventions are also drawn up, to wit: a) two growth center development strategy, b) coastal corridor development strategy, and c) coastal-interior loop agri-industrial development strategy.
Responses to the Priority Industries Needs of the Lanao del Norte

Lanao del Nortes economic strength is in agriculture/fishery/forestry having the highest location quotient of 6.70. This means that the province is producing more than it requires of the province and thus these industries can be export-oriented. Based on the analysis of production performance and the growing contribution to economic activity and employment, the province indicated in its Plan to prioritize support systems for the following for two major sectors in the province that have major bearing on its economic development agenda, the Agri-Fishery Sector, and Tourism Sector. Priority industries under the Agri-fishery sector will be on: corn, palay, coconut, banana, calamansi, seaweeds, dairy, halal meat, mudcrab. For Tourism, needs are mostly focused on tourism promotion approaches relative to the existing tourist attractions on the Province.

PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Overall Plan Implementation Scheme

This Chapter discusses the mechanisms, structure and systems that shall be put in place to ensure implementation of the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (PTESDP). It is organized into several subsections where the implementation procedures shall follow, to wit: 1) plan review, adoption and approval process, 2) plan advocacy, 3) institutional arrangement, and 4) financing schemes. Specific actions and activities leading to the operationalization of this Provincial TESD Plan covering the period 2010-2013 will commence upon the approval and adoption of this document by the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (PTESDC) and upon adoption as blue print for TESD interventions by the Provincial Development Council (PDC) of the Province of Lanao del Norte. Similarly, the implementation of this Plan will be guided by the policy directions stipulated in Chapter 2, as well as the development thrusts and strategies indicated in Chapter 6 of this Plan. However, the main approach in making this Plan workable for all stakeholders is for the TESDA Corporate Personnel to converge and partner with the various sectoral and institutional players of human resource development. Plan Review, Approval and Adoption Process: Once the Plan is completed, the initial draft of the Plan should undergo a review and enhancement by the sectoral champions particularly the members of the PTESD committee. When there is a need, the sectoral committees of the Provincial Development Council (PDC) will be convened to revisit a particular section of the Plan in accordance to the mandate of the sector. The PTESDC will then approve the Plan, and endorse to the Provincial Development Council for adoption. This will serve as the blue print of the Council for TESD-related interventions since both the Provinces socio-economic and physical development approaches are synergized with TESD interventions in the Plan. A PDC resolution will be needed to support the Plans integration into the Provinces development thrusts and interventions. This will give teeth to the Plan. The Plan maybe subjected to another endorsement for its subsequent replication at the City/Municipal level and adoption by the Sanggunaing Panlalawigan. Plan Advocacy: The existing structures at the provincial level will be considered as mechanisms to advocate the adoption and implementation of the Plan. For the TESDA-regulated institutions, TVIs and other players that have stake in TESDAs existing programs and services will have to adhere the policies and strategies stipulated in the Plan, such as consideration of the Provincial Skills Priorities in terms of program offering, etc. As a support mechanism to the Provinces development agenda, it will rely solely on the efforts of the PTESDC to advocate the Plan to all sectors that have stakes in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The move to replicate the TESDCs at the City/Municipal Level, as well as tapping of existing TVET partners (CTECs, TVI Association, Experts Panel, etc.) shall be the major approach in promoting and
Page 41
2010-2013
harmonizing efforts for implementing the Plan from provincial down to the barangay levels. Likewise, the Plan will also be presented to the different local special bodies and local leagues.
Institutional Arrangement
The effective implementation of the PTESD Plan can be futile if TESDA-Lanao del Norte will be left alone to carry out the tasks. As manager of the TVET Sector, the task of managing training and development interventions is enormous and multifaceted, the reason why TESDA is promoting partnership and convergent approaches in the delivery of its mandates. This limitation is also compounded by the scarcity of management resources, such as manpower, money and machine. Hence, to address the major constraining factor, which is budgetary in nature, there is a need to come up with a strong and vigorous partnership with various stakeholders. With this situation, a self-reliant approach through social mobilization and linkaging with the rest of the TVET stakeholders becomes a practical solution. Hence, an institutional arrangement will keep the Plan moving for the rest of the planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation periods. The following are critical actions to be considered inorder to fast track the adoption and implementation of the Plan at all institutional and sectoral levels in the Province of Lanao del Norte: 1. Expanding and Strengthening Convergence/Linkage with Critical Stakeholders 2 2. Intensifying Social Marketing Advocacy (SMA) Activities 3. Establishing and Strengthening Linkages with Members of the Legislature 3 4. Capability-Building Programs of TESDA and Its Partners4
Fund requirements and Sourcing Approaches

There is no specific amount required to carry out all the identified programs and projects in the Plan as there is still a need to come up with an investment Plan by LGU and institutional levels on an annual basis. This will be generated only once concerned institutions and organizations frame up their Annual Investment Programs from this Plan. Basing on the magnanimous development objectives identified by the Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte, there is a need for the Local Finance Committee to incorporate in their strategic financial plan the resources and resource mobilization approaches to finance the TESD-related programs and projects identified in the Plan. An investment and donors forum shall be undertaken for the sector with more urgent needs. The TESDA-Lanao del Norte Provincial Office, on the other hand, will need to exhaust its annual budget to coordinate and facilitate implementation, monitoring and evaluation of strategies and must-do programs, projects, and activities stipulated in the Plan which will be translated into workable Annual Work and Financial Plans. However, despite TESDAs regular annual budget, there is still a need to source out funds to support the thrusts and priorities of the TVET sector considering the government's meager resources. Thus, the following activities must be undertaken:

2010-2013
PLAN MONITORING AND EVALUATION Monitoring and Evaluation Logical Framework

Regular and periodic monitoring of the plan will be conducted to thresh out concerns and problems in plan implementation. The findings and results of monitoring will be used as bases in the plan updating activities. The implementation of the Plan by the Authority will be monitored through the usual Agency Monitoring System where the annual provincial accomplishment reports are reflected based on Key Result Areas. This Monitoring System will identify indicators of performance by all sectors involved in TVET implementation, particularly those reflected in the Agencys Work and Financial Plan. For other TESD programs not captured in the Work and Financial Plan, separate tools and instruments will be designed to capture the outcome and impacts of the development interventions. The relationship framework of the Plans Monitoring and Evaluation System revolves into three major components, namely: the Key Performance Indicators, the Tools and Instruments, and the Monitoring Structure. The Plan will be monitored and evaluated in terms of the following: 1) its impact to the target beneficiaries, 2) status of performance of its implemented priority programs and projects, 3) impact of the programs to the TVET Providers, and 4) TVET Priorities vis--vis the status of TVET partnership and linkages that help in the implementation of the PTESD Plan. On the other hand, for development interventions that involved TESD-related approaches, partner agencies or institutions prescribed M & E tools and instruments shall be adopted of which TESDA will translate said performance outputs into its prescribed Monet forms as follows:
Sector Monitoring System 5

The sector monitoring is a manual processing which uses several monitoring forms coded like MIS 01, MIS 02, MIS 03, and MIS 04 depending on the type of information and data needed. It needs a careful input and processing of data by the user to provide reliable information. The sector monitoring system is designed to generate periodic updates on enrolment, graduates and other related information on TESD. It also generates information on status of implementation of programs and projects identified in the PTESDP as anchored on the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (NTESDP). It also aims to generate information as to the type of sectors the skills training are conducted (e.g, agri-fishery, tourism, food & beverage, etc), the duration of the training, training costs, number of hours and age level of the trainees.
TESDA Monitoring Network (Monet)

The TESDA Monitoring Network or TESDA Monet is a web-based monitoring report system officially used by TESDA Offices and Operating Units lodged at the Management Information System (MIS) Units. The official data and reports on program accomplishments are sourced out from only those submitted through the TESDA Monet which will form part of the Agencys performance assessment. The TESDA Monet also makes use of the prescribed templates in generating the needed inputs for the database system. Forms and templates are coded per type of data such as MIS 02-01 for Competency Assessment and Certification (CAC), MIS 03-02 for Massive Training Reports, etc.

However, there are data and information vital for the assessment of this Plan that cannot be captured by the TESDA Monitoring System. Hence, forms will be designed and customized according to types of development interventions to be monitored and evaluated. Most evaluative information such as changes in the behavior of people in the community as a result of TESD intervention, impact of TESD programs on the lives of the beneficiaries, and other developmental and qualitative information may adopt several types of survey forms such as the Visitors Survey and the Household Survey.
Monitoring Structure6
The structure follows that of the TESDA Provincial Office PTESDC partnership as the main mechanism for monitoring plan implementation through policy advocacy among LGUs and other partners vis--vis submission of TESD-related outputs. The replicated TESDCs at the city/municipal levels as well as the Community Training and Employment Coordinators as TESDAs intermediaries at the local levels will be the Plans monitor. The generated data and information will then be inputted to the next higher level monitor, the RTESDC and the TESDA Regional Office.
Updating
The PTESDP shall be updated every three years to capture changes in the demand and supply situation of the TESD market as well as to reflect the recent development in the planning environment. It shall incorporate changes in the Provinces socio-economic situations, labor market scenarios, sectoral priorities and challenges and changes in development agenda of the national, provincial and municipal levels.

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background/Rationale
ognizant of the need for highly competitive manpower in the areas of technology and other highly specialized fields of knowledge, higher learning also requires quality and relevant instruction, as much as upgraded instructional and learning facilities that would meet the requirements of both domestic and international labor market. To respond to this need, government must continue to invest in human resource development at all levels, from early childhood to primary and secondary learning, and towards a ladderized interface between technical-vocational and college education. The Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Plan 2010-2013 is our response to the governments mandate to coordinate all skills training and development efforts of the Province of Lanao del Norte and the country as a whole on one hand; and to formulate a plan for the optimum allocation, development and utilization of skilled workers for employment and technology development for economic and social growth on the other hand. In consonance with the Medium Term Philippine/regional Development Plans, 2010-2013, the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan 2010-2013, and the Regional Technical Education and Skills Development Plan 2010-2013, the Provincial technical Education and Skills development Plan will serve as the blueprint for technical education and skills development interventions in the Province. As such, it will guide and harmonize all Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) initiatives and activities in the Province into common and unified directions which will enhance the Provinces resources and alleviate the constituencies from poverty through self and wage- employment opportunities. Anchored on the development agenda of the Province of Lanao del Norte, this document contains the premises, the challenges, and responses to global, national and local issues affecting the TVET sector, such that, it will lead the Province towards realization of its development objectives. The Plans focus area is the Province of Lanao del Norte, created by virtue of Republic Act 2228, now headed by the incumbent Provincial Governor, Hon. Mohamad Khalid Quibranza Dimaporo, the seventh Governor since the Provinces creation. In synergy with the development objectives reflected in the Provinces Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2007-2013, the PTESD Plan aims to: a) Re-affirm the national, regional and most particularly the provincial development visions b) Provide the analytical basis for understanding the prevalent socio-economic conditions, socio-economic outlook in the next three years, and identifying key development issues and challenges, as well as opportunities that have bearing on the Provinces development agenda c) Translate the multi-level visions into implementable strategies and policies responding to TESD issues and challenges d) Identify priority programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) consistent with the proposed strategies and policies, and e) Serve as basis for investment programming, budgeting, and subsequent implementation of TESD initiatives
Page 47
2010-2013
f) Provide an effective monitoring and evaluation mechanism for assessing the impact of the PPAs reflected in the Plan, and for evaluating effectiveness of the Plan itself by serving as the key link in the network of plans with TESD contexts.
Coverage of the Plan

Duration-wise, the PTESD Plan is a 3-year term consistent with the Medium Term development Plan and the NTESD Plan. It is intended to coincide with the political terms of Local Chief Executives. However, the assessment of this Plan must extend beyond the medium-term to consider long-term trends inorder to generate a more comprehensive inputs for the next planning period. Geographically, the Plan does not limit itself to political boundaries of the Province, which means that its implementation embraces the whole Province of Lanao del Norte which includes the independent city of Iligan (now a Lone District) and the 22 component municipalities. The planning environment of the PTESD Plan includes all major sectors (categorized into type of economic and social activity) relevant to the development of the province. It endeavors to use sectoral data which are consistent with global, national, and city/municipal data to establish context.
Outline of the Plan
The Plan is divided into nine chapters which provide comprehensive discussions, as follows: Introduction: This lays down the backdrop of the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (PTESDP), its objectives, context, and coverage. Policy Directions: This section outlines the Authoritys (TESDA) mandates and core business per RA 7796, the National Development Directions under the PGMA administration, the Regional Development Agenda of Northern Mindanao, and ultimately, the elements of the provinces long-term vision, popularized as Vision 2020 section. The multi-layered policy directions are taken into account to align the Province Vision 2020, which is a shared vision of the constituents of Lanao del Norte being crafted through a series of stakeholders consultation. This section also discusses the process in crafting the Provincial TESD Plan 2010-2013. Planning Environment: This section describes and analyzes the social, economic, and physical environment of the province, which serves as basis for identifying development challenges and issues and subsequent courses of action (strategies, plans, programs and activities). It focuses on the Provinces physical features, social and cultural demographics, and major socio-economic indicators that have bearing on the Provinces development agenda. This also presents the profile of some stakeholders active in TVET provision in Lanao del Norte Provincial TESD Framework: This section summarizes the development issues and concerns generated from the analysis of the planning environment. The chapter subsequently outlines the provinces development goals, objectives, strategies and specific interventions vis--vis the TVET issues and challenges at the macro-level. Likewise, the major issues and challenges in relation to TESDA Mandate, as well as those
Page 48
2010-2013
identified at the sector level are being considered. The integrated development strategies and approaches responding to the identified issues and challenges in subsequent chapters are supported by this section. Priority Sectors and Industries: This section provides relevant labor market scenarios at various levels- global, national, regional and provincial. The economic outlook is being considered as prospects of employment and livelihood creation by the constituencies of Lanao del Norte. Subsequently, this section provides avenues for TVET graduates and professionals, as well as other sectors in the Province global placements, for the TVET Providers for capability-building and enhancement initiatives, and industry establishments and support mechanisms. It also presents the provinces demand for critical skills that would fill-in the vacuum between demand and supply mismatches Strategic Response: This section provides discussions on critical skills supply, demand, and mismatches vis--vis requirements of the industries and other job markets both local and global. Reasons for skills shortages, oversupply and mismatches are presented by priority sector. Likewise, Strategic Responses on sector level and by priority industry/product of high economic importance of the Province are discussed. A provincial TESD investment matrix is generated to inject TESD interventions into the Provinces development strategies. Plan Implementation Mechanism: This chapter discusses the steps, processes and support systems to ensure that the PTESD Plan is adopted and implemented by various stakeholders in the province. It also provides ideas on fund sourcing approaches. Plan Monitoring and Evaluation: Under this section, Plan monitoring and evaluation mechanism is discussed. For TVET and TESD-related concerns, approaches are focused on TESDAs established Sector Monitoring System, while qualitative, evaluative information is left to the partners other workable tools and instruments. Annexes: This last section presents additional information that supplements the contents of the Plan.

Chapter 2 POLICY DIRECTIONS TESDA Vision and Mission Statement
ESDA was created as part of the tertiary education by virtue of Republic Act 7796 known as the Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994. It covers post-secondary technical vocational education and training (TVET). The management is trifocal, harmonized and coordinated through the Philippine Task Force on Education in which members from the academe and the industry are included. It creation was meant to reduce overlapping in skills development activities initiated by various public and private sector agencies, and to provide national directions for the country's technicalvocational education and training (TVET) system. Hence, a major thrust of TESDA is the formulation of a comprehensive development plan for middle-level manpower based on the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan. This plan shall provide for a reformed industry-based training program that includes apprenticeship, dual training system and other similar schemes.
TESDA Mandate:
The essence of TESDAs existence is to enhance employability of the middle-level workforce through the provision of relevant, accessible, high quality and efficient technical education and skills development (TESD) responsive to and in accordance with the Philippine Development Goals and Objectives. TESDAs goals and objectives are very clear. They define the primary output of TESDA which is quality middle-level manpower who can cope up with the demand of global competitiveness. This entails acquisition of competencies at par with international standards including critical and creative thinking, as well as positive work attitudes and values. These goals and objectives call for a Pro-Active TESDA that acts as catalyst in a labor-market directed, private sector-led and market-driven TVET. Specifically, TESDA is mandated to: 1. Integrate, coordinate and monitor skills development programs; 2. Restructure efforts to promote and develop middle-level manpower; 3. Approve skills standards and tests; 4. Develop an accreditation system for institutions involved in middle-level manpower development; 5. Fund programs and projects for technical education and skills development; and 6. Assist trainers training programs. Overall, TESDA formulates manpower and skills plans, sets appropriate skills standards and tests, coordinates and monitors manpower policies and programs, and provides policy directions and guidelines for resource allocation for the TVET institutions in both the private and public sectors.

TESDA Vision, Mission and Goals:

The vision, mission, and value statement of TESDA express its highest aspirations and reasons for being and serve as the unifying framework for all its activities. Vision. TESDA is the leading partner in the development of the Filipino workforce with world class competence and positive work values. Mission. TESDA provides directions, policies, programs and standards towards quality technical education and skills development. Value Statement. TESDA believes in demonstrated competence, institutional integrity, personal commitment and deep sense of nationalism.
TESDAs Core Business

TESDAs role in workforce development is defined by quality products and services in the areas of Direction Setting, Standards Setting and Systems Development, Support to TVET Provision, and Institutional Capacity Building which are its core business. The TESDAs Core Business is to provide national leadership in developing a skilled workforce in the country. Primarily, this involves ensuring sufficient provision of skilled workers and technicians to meet international work standards as well as the needs of local enterprises. It also includes ensuring access to technical education for the greater majority of the Filipinos. Direction Setting. Central to TESDAs role as an authority and national leader in TVET is being able to provide a clear sense of direction to the TVET sector. One major tangible output of TESDA under its Direction Setting concern is facilitating the crafting of the medium term plan for the TVET sector, the National/Regional/Provincial TESD Plan. The Plan defines the TESD response to the national development challenges of poverty alleviation through economic growth. It envisions a globally competent Filipino workforce able to produce quality products and services either in the domestic or overseas market. It commits to deliver improved access and equity in TVET, improved assessment and certification, and enhanced employability of TVET graduates. Standards Setting and Systems Development. TESDA as a national leader shall be responsible for ensuring quality in all aspects of TVET. The key element is standards which refer not only to skills of the workforce and the TVET institutions but also to processes and systems adopted in the sector. These standards are benchmarks against which we can measure performances of workers and students, as well as TVET institutions. Support to TVET Provision. TESDA is responsible to ensure that opportunities in TVET are available whether they are provided by the government or the private sector. As the Authority in TVET, TESDA provides technical supervision over the various public and private TVET providers. Focus shall be given in building the capability and capacity of TVET providers, including the LGUs, as well as providing scholarship to the beneficiaries.
Page 52
2010-2013
Institutional Capacity Building. For TESDA to provide the required services and deliver its core business, it must have the internal capacity and capability. Therefore, Institutional Capacity Building is necessary to build its competencies along the different requirements of its direction setting, skills standards and systems development, and support to TVET provision responsibilities. This core business also involves the installation of TESDA Quality Management System at all levels and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the different systems and processes in the organization.
TESDAs Ultimate Role in the TVET Sector: The New Paradigm

The role of TESDA is straddling between social and economic objectives; between the education and training sector and the employment sector. It identifies in-demand jobs and its job requirements and applies the strategies of seek, find and train the unemployed; achieving both economic and social development and generating the best jobs for the Filipinos. TESDA supports both the government education sector and technical vocational work with TVET, thus the mandate of the TVET Sector is to ensure at the end of the day that people are trained and trained people gets job.

Vision, Mission, Objectives: National and Local Setting National Development Direction
Fighting poverty and building prosperity for the greatest number of the Filipino people are the main concerns the national government has set to pursue in the next five years. To achieve these, strategic measures are laid out for the creation of jobs, improving access to education, improving fiscal strength, decentralizing development, and promotion of national harmony. The President has launched the following 10-point legacy of development which spells out the priority areas of concern in order to BEAT THE ODDS: Balanced budget, Education (improving access), Automated elections, Transport and Digital Infrastructure development, Terminating NPA and MILF hostilities, Healing the wounds of EDSA, Electricity to all barangays and water to all municipalities, Opportunities to create Jobs, Decentralization, Decongestion of Metro Manila, Subic-Clark development. The basic task of the Medium-Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP), 2004-2010 is to fight poverty by building prosperity for the greatest number of the Filipino people. The country must open up economic opportunities, maintain sociopolitical stability, and promote good stewardshipall to ensure better quality of life of its citizens. The country will focus on strategic measures and activities, which will spur economic growth and create jobs. This can only be done with a common purpose to put the economic house back in working order.
Regional Development Long-Term Vision

To be the leading industrial and trade center in Mindanao with vibrant, skilled and productive men and women enjoying equal opportunities in harnessing the potentials and resources in building a decent, harmonious, peaceful and healthful living environment. While industry development will be vigorously pursued, especially within the Cagayan de OroIligan Corridor, the agriculture sector will remain as a major contributor to the economy and will be the main source of the regions employment. Hence, development in agriculture will be given appropriate attention especially in the production of high value crops and the establishment of agri-processing centers. Medium-Term Development Goal As the previous medium-term goal of becoming the major transshipment hub in Mindanao is slowly being realized with the improvement of the regions major seaports, the setting up of an international standard airport, and the establishment of infrastructure arteries, Region X is ready to assert its role as a major leader in the production of high-value, high-yielding crops and other agri-based goods, and to present itself as the most competitive, efficient, and attractive venue for industrial ventures in Mindanao. The role of local government units will be crucial in establishing incentives, support facilities, and ensuring a friendly business climate for prompt and easy processing of permits and licenses. The Plan period will see a transformation of LGUs from a highly regulatory role to one that is facilitative, assistive, and promotive. This is expected to further spur the growth of home-based, small and medium enterprises taking advantage of available local resources and pre-determined domestic and foreign markets.
Page 54
2010-2013
Educational and training institutions will play an important role in terms of preparing the regions manpower to be ready for the demands of present and future industries and businesses. A mechanism for regularly assessing the regions employment opportunities, here and abroad, needs to be put in place in order to guide schools in curriculum development. The Region will uphold as a guiding principle, the private sector as the economys main engine of growth, while the government, as orchestrator of development that encourages and promotes the participation of the private sector and supports or nurtures its growth. Thus, the government sector will engage only in projects that are public in nature or if private in character, does not compete with existing activities that are amply provided by the private sector. While pursuing growth, the regions development activities shall provide equal opportunities to both men and women, and ensure that development accrue to all sectors of society. The region will continue to adhere to sustainable approaches to protect and conserve natural and man-made resources so that the benefits reaped today will continue to be enjoyed by future generations. Growth in the tourism sector will be achieved in a manner that respect, protection, and preservation of indigenous beliefs, tradition, cultural heritage, and overall environmental integrity are not compromised.
Provincial Development Plan of Lanao Del Norte: Its Vision

The long-term vision of the province of Lanao del Norte is dubbed as Vision 2020. Year 2020 is the indicative time frame for the realization of the vision. It states that Lanao del Norte is envisioned to become . . . a globally competitive agri-industrial community of God loving, ecology conscious, culturally diverse people working together in peace and harmony to achieve equity and prosperity. This vision statement was crafted through a series of multi-stakeholder consultations. In effect, it is a vision shared by the constituency of Lanao del Norte. To translate the vision into measurable terms, the statement was chunked into parts called the vision elements. Corresponding success indicators were attached to each vision element, viz:
Table 2.1: Lanao del Nortes Vision Elements as Translated into Success Indicators
Vision Element Global competitiveness Agri-industrial community God-loving people/community Ecology conscious Culturally diverse Working together
Success Indicator Volume of exports by commodity Agri-based processing facilities and markets of finished products Faith based initiatives Ecology-oriented organizations, projects; healthy environment Presence of cultural festivals; Christians-Muslims joint undertakings including celebration of religious activities Participatory implementation of projects with various stakeholders equitably represented

The Vision Translated into an Executive Agenda: The Provincial Development Plan
The vision statement is the take-off in formulating the three-year agenda of the Provincial Governor. The incumbent Governor, Mohamad Khalid Dimaporo, translated the vision into a three-point agenda: social development, rural livelihood and infrastructure. His development framework for the three year slice of the PDPFP is shown in Figure 1 below:

PTESD Planning Process
he preparation of the TESDA Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (PTESDP) underwent a series of participative discussions at the different levels of the organization. Agreements from the different consultation-workshops, meetings, and conferences were integrated and served as major inputs in the Plan. It is a collaborative, collective effort of the various stakeholders of TESDA involving the TVIs, the Industry Sector, the Private sector and inputs from National Line Agencies and the Local Government Units. Prior to the updating of the previous PTESD Plan, a planning workshop for the Planning Officers of the 5 operating units of TESDA-10 was conducted at Iligan City last July 23-24, 2009. The said workshop was designed to equip the Planning officers with Planning concepts and principles inorder to come up with a common understanding of TESDAs Planning Process. It was also designed to come up with a uniform approach to planning, agree on the formats of the Plan in terms of content which covers eight major chapters. During the workshop, the participants agreed to revise the Provincial Skills Priorities Survey form as well as the PSP Summary Form to make it more client-friendly. Hence, aside from the usual priority plans and programs as major inclusion in the Plan, it was also agreed to make the Provincial Investment Priorities and Provincial Priorities as critical components of the Plan. Consequently, the PTESD Planning Process has eight major stages as follows: STEP 1: Area Research: Physical and Contextual Literature reviews on development planning approaches as well as multi-level policy directions were undertaken as major inputs to the Plan. These inputs are created as a knowledge base from which further work would evolve. Literature reviews will be completed on the following topics: Topic 1: Policy Directions TESDA Vision and Mission Statement National and Local VMOs relevant to the paper Provincial Development Plan Topic 2: Planning Environment Stakeholders Profile Physical and demographics Labor Market Information Compilation of available statistics on poverty levels, employment, and other socioeconomics measures
STEP 2: Defining TESD Development Directions vi-a-vis Priority Investment Plans In order to appropriately assess the planning environment, and at the same time determine the provinces development agenda, compilation of Annual Investment Plans of the Province of Lanao Norte and Iligan City was undertaken. This was to synergize the province development directions with TESDAs TESD development directions. STEP 3: Development/Enhancement of PSP Survey Tool
Page 57
2010-2013
Using the knowledge gained in steps 1 and 2, as well as the inputs (particularly the PSALM Approach) during the Planning Officers Workshop, the Provincial PSP Survey Form and the PSP Summary Form were revised and enhanced. The enhancement was made inorder to capture the extent to which the TVET issues and challenges as well as he employment outlook have contributed to the supply and demand of critical skills (as defined by the indicators previously identified. This tool will be used by the survey team for an initial gathering and analysis of the Provincial Skills Priorities. STEP 4. The Provincial Investment Priorities: Survey Using the enhanced PSP Forms, a survey on critical skills was conducted using all means of communication such as email, postal services and telefax. Respondents were categorized into five, namely, the academe sector, the industry sector, the national line agencies, and Local Government Units, and the private sector. STEP 5. PSP Validation Workshop After the initial inputs were consolidated, two major Focused Group Discussions among representatives of key industries/sectors (the Demand side) and the TVIs of Lanao del Norte (the Supply Side) were held in January, 2009 to validate the ciritical skills gathered during the survey and to generate labor-market information particularly on the following essentials for TVET planning. 2. 2. 3. 4. Critical job skill in sector and industries; The present and prospective shortage situation of critical job skills; The most likely reasons for such skills shortage; and The reasons and attributes to either TVET or non-TVET factors.
For the TESD - related reasons, the group realized the need to upgrade their curriculum and the trainors expertise as well as their facilities to meet the demand of industry. The industry on the other hand should provide signals to TVET on their skill requirements. There was therefore a need for consultations and dialogues as well as collaborative planning in order to adopt some training modalities where the industries can assist or support the efforts of government through apprenticeship, learnership, dualized training system and industry immersion. This became a feasible solution to address the entry-level skills requirement of the job. The TVET supply mismatched with the industry needs. Schools keep on offering courses that had no market opportunities , but only for convenient reason due to available facilities or capability to conduct said sources of technology . TVET graduates possessed the skills that the industry already consider obsolete in their operation. STEP 6. The Provincial Investment Priorities: Endorsement by PTESDC The list of identified critical job skills were submitted to the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (PTESDC) to examine the list against the development agenda of the province. They analyzed the causes of the skills shortage into TESD - related and non-TESD related. Once the PSP matches with the Provincial development agenda, then, a resolution supporting and endorsing the PSP is made and became an integral part of the PTESD Plan. STEP 7: PTESD Plan Writeshop: Analysis and Recommendations The TESDA Provincial Office would compile all data collected during the administration of the
Page 58
2010-2013
PSP Survey Tool as validated by the Sectoral Champions, consolidate the TVET Issues and challenges generated during the Focused Group Discussions and analyze the results. The analysis would be compiled in a final report which would contain the following: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 6. 7. 8. 9. Introduction Policy Directions Planning Environment Provincial TESD Framework Priority Sectors and Industries Strategic Response Plan Implementation Plan Monitoring and Evaluation Annexes
In addition, the final report would contain the recommendations for improving TESD interventions vis--vis the planning environment. These recommendations would be based on all relevant findings and may be drawn from the literature review, focus groups, interviews, and survey tool results. STEP 8: The Final Report: PTESDC Review and Endorsement A final report would be submitted to the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (PTESDC) for final review endorsement to the TESDA Regional Office 10 for monitoring and evaluation and to concerned stakeholders as their blueprint for TESD-related interventions.

Chapter 3 THE PLANNING ENVIRONMENT Physical and Demographics Physical Features
n the regional context, the Province is situated in northern Mindanao. It is bounded on the north by Iligan Bay, on the northeastern side by the Province of Misamis Oriental where the Cagayan-Iligan Corridor is generally situated, on the southeast by Lanao del Sur, on the west by the Provinces of Misamis Occidental and Zamboanga del Sur which are also accessible by water and land transportation systems, and on the south by Illana Bay. The Province links the western, eastern and central Mindanao. It is the land bridge of Zamboanga Peninsula to the rest of Mindanao and serves as the gateway to the different cities such as Pagadian, Tangub, Oroquieta, Ozamiz via the Tukuran-Malabang highway and Lanao del Sur via the Tubod-Ganassi national highway. The geographic location of Lanao del Norte is significant and poses various advantages and opportunities for development. It links Western Mindanao to Eastern and Central Mindanao as a land bridge. It serves as a gateway to the cities of Pagadian, Tangub, Oroquita, and Ozamis and to Lanao del Sur via the Inkuran-Malabang and Tubod- Ganassi National Highways. It is accessible by land, water, and air transportation. Lanao del Norte has a total land area of 309,200 hectares or 3,092 sq. kms. Fourty-four percent of the area is plain while 56% is flashed by high mountains, slightly rolling topography with extensive low hills and gentle slopes in the municipalities of Baroy, Lala, Kapatagan, Salvador, Sapad and Sultan Naga Dimaporo which comprises Kapatagan Valley, the rice and corn granary of the province. Other municipalities are characterized by narrow plateaus. The province is suitable to all kinds of crops. Its major agricultural products are rice, corn, coconut, banana, coffee, ginger, legume vegetables, livestock and poultry, root crops, exotic fruits and nuts. Several rivers, including Agus River which feed the Maria Cristina Falls, traverse the province and supplies the irrigation areas while other empty into Iligan Bay. It has several lakes, cold springs and water falls found in the major watershed areas. The province is free from typhoons, hence, it enjoys an ideal elements for agriculture and aquaculture. Mineral resources, both metallic and non-metallic are known to be found in some municipalities but the volume of reserves has not been determined. These includes silica, clay, coal, limestone, manganese chromite and gold.

Center Based Programs are usually provided by three TESDA Technology Institutes present in the province, the Regional training Center-Iligan, the Salvador Trade School (STS) in Salvador, Lanao del Norte, and the Lanao Norte National Agro-Industrial School (LNNAIS) in Bualan, Tubod, Lanao del Norte. However, there are also public-owned/initiated training centers that belong to this category. These those that concern with livelihood-based skills training programs of DEpEd under their ALS program, of the Social Welfare and Development Office, of the Provincial/Municipal/City Agriculture Office among others that are normally done in designated training venues and centers. For Community-Based training programs, players and stakeholders include the Local Government Units (LGUs), the National Line Agencies (NLAs), Non-Government Organization (NGOs), and other Peoples Organization (POs). These players normally conduct TechnologyBased Community Training Programs (TBCTP) on site where beneficiaries actually live and make a living. Programs are usually short-term and are focused only on clusters of competency. Below are stakeholders that are active in the delivery of TBCTP in the province of Lanao del Norte:

THE PROVINCIAL TESD FRAMEWORK
The TESD Framework
he socio-economic difficulties in Lanao del Norte and Iligan City underpin on the low investment in the TVET sector. Widespread displacement of workers particularly in the private enterprises contributed further to the mismatch of demand versus supply of technical education and training, a state where there are a number of graduates are produced by TVET institutions but cannot be absorbed by the job market because such skills produced are not critically demanded by the employers of existing and emerging economies. The institutions may however invest in TVET programs but only on those with low investment requirements in terms of facilities and equipment. Ignoring this present condition would result to increasing the poverty incidence in the area caused by low employment rate which is already considered among the highest in the country.

The urgency to redirect and to increase public and private financing should be taken very seriously. Policy reforms and investment direction must be the primary concern of the national as well as the local government units. At the ground, massive social marketing and policy advocacy must be intensified to reach the desired state of the TVET sector. Bodies like the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (PTESDC) must deal with pro-active policy recommendations to pump prime investment in TVET by both public and private institutions. Enhanced networking and partnering with various stakeholders in the industry, the LGUs and the private sector can help generate initiatives that would propel growth and development in TVET while responding to the socio-economic needs of the area. Labor market information must serve as a guide in TVET investment by various TVET Providers inorder to produce the desired quality of workers demanded by the job market, matching of skills demand and supply. Employment tracking system of graduates must be institutionalized, such that, No TVET program if no employment policy must be advocated. Below are descriptions of the TESD Framework that this plan for TESD development in Lanao del Norte is grounded:
PARTICULARS Direction- Setting Active Participation in the PTESD Committee
CURRENT REALITIES
DESITED STATE
The PTESDC membership is representative of TVET priority sectors. The exercise of PTESDCs role on the allocation of government funds is not explicitly exercised The existence of PTESDC in the Province was somewhat taken for granted PTESDC Plan has not been subjected into multi-sectoral consultation
The PTESDC is influencing the TVET sector to encourage institutions to offer programs along the priority sectors and emerging industry in the province The PTESD Committee is actively exercising its allocative mandate through incentive and award system The PTESDC has formulated and secured acceptance of the plan from a multi-sectoral body
Formulation and acceptance of the PTESD Plan as the Blueprint of TVET implementation Labor Market Intelligence and Employment Tracking System
The Labor Market Intelligence has never been taken seriously. Research on socio-economic and employment trends locally and globally is only for compliance purposes. TVIs seldom invest on market research and other initiatives that support their graduates employment
The Blue Desk Jobs Bridging Services is institutionalized among various stakeholders and partners that invest in TVET. TESDA must also properly invest on its establishment in terms of equipment and facilities as well as on labor market research Page 77
2010-2013
PARTICULARS Partnership and Linkages
CURRENT REALITIES The Associations of Lanao Technical Institution (ALTI) is a strong partner of TESDA Lanao del Norte particularly as a vehicle for TVET information. Its role in TVET partnership is not maximized Weak partnership between industry and TVIs Absence of Experts Panel in various qualifications and sectors Industry partnership is only on KASH/EBT programs
DESITED STATE The strong partnership is sustained and expanded. Participation of the association in TVET crucial concerns like sector monitoring and compliance monitoring is institutionalized TVIs and industry adopting dualized competency-based programs TVIs and Industry forged agreements on placement of graduates Industrial firms adopting and recognizing National Certificate as major requirement for placement and adopting Trainer Qualification Program for their in-plant/company training programs Section 25 of the TESDA Act of 1994 is fully advocated and recognized Existing non-registered Programs, either as full qualifications or clusters of competencies are registered Close monitoring of registered programs to determine sustained quality of training delivery is intensified Non-compliant programs are closed. Programs are offered in uncommon qualifications yet there is high demand in the labor market There is TVET investment in agri-fishery programs The PTESDC Committee is enabled to direct influence to Page 78
NLAs and LGUs collaboration in terms of sector monitoring is weak Quality Assurance UTPRAS Only 128 programs in 48 qualifications are duly registered, of these, only 50% have been subjected to compliance audits. Compliance monitoring is very weak in the Province A few of the fully registered programs have been found noncompliant in terms of trainer and facilities requirement Only 1 TTI offers agri-related programs, no TVI is offering agrifishery-related programs
2010-2013
PARTICULARS
CURRENT REALITIES
DESITED STATE TVET providers both public and private thru incentive and award system. Lanao del Norte has set-up an auditing team for compliance audits At least one ACAC is established/accredited by occupational area e.g. Agrifishery, tourism, metals and engineering, etc. Accreditation of assessors in tourism, agri-fishery related occupations, and other qualifications currently offered by TVIs yet do not have accredited assessors Intensify accreditation of assessors by endorsement
Competency Assessment and Certification
Limited implementation of compliance audit as the province of Lanao del Norte is dependent to the Regional Office Compliance Auditors There are only 8 Accredited Assessment Centers in the Province which caters assessment activities to only 7 qualifications out of the 48 qualifications registered in the province There are only ____ accredited assessors mostly in industrial trades and a few health-related sectors. Limited or no assessors in tourism, agri-related occupations and other hard trades
Support to TVET Provision Enrollment in Tech-Voc Trainees enroll only in technicalvocational programs only when it free or subsidized, and because of the scholarship package regardless of whether or not there is employment afterwards 90% of the municipalities and Iligan City have designated Community Training & Employment Coordinators (CTECs) but have been inactive for the last 3 years in terms of TVET monitoring LGUs have training funds but are inappropriately invested in training programs that really respond to local, national and international job markets Career guidance programs in TVIs is intensified and properly carried out as supported by labor market research CTECs Association is revived/reactivated. An incentive scheme is re-established to intensify sector monitoring activities Prudent use of LGU training and livelihood funds Technology-based Community Training Programs are anchored on Labor Market Information and market research

Priority Strategies:
To address the pressing challenges in technical-vocational education and training as it relates to the development objectives of the Province of Lanao del Norte, the following strategies will be employed: Implementation of enhanced/expanded Technology-based Community Development Programs. More programs towards entrepreneurship and livelihood creation shall be pursued particularly in community-based programs. These will respond to augment the incomes of the constituencies through self-employment. Improving the TVET system, standards and quality of TVET programs. Activities shall be focused on enhancing TVET standards & systems with strong participation of the industry sector & other TVET partners. This will involve an intensified promotion of trainers qualification system and compliance to training standards through a massive policy advocacy by an empowered Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (PTESDC). Also, the Province shall pursue the offering of programs and conduct of assessment and certification activities for agri-fishery. Establishment of training centers. LGUs and other private sectors shall be encourage to put up training centers in the rural areas to cater the skills development needs of the marginalized sectors. One provincial training center shall also be pursued. These centers will provide opportunity for the upgrading of the skills not just the TVET providers and partners, but also those involved in the establishment of industries at the local levels. Implementation of a ladderized interface between TVET and higher education. A system where graduates of TVET can pursue higher educational courses offered in colleges and universities without having to lose credit of what they have already earned/completed in a TVET program shall be pursued. The Provincial Government shall take the lead in enjoining higher educational institutions (HEIs) to embed in their curricula clusters of competencies that are critically needed by the Provinces existing and emerging industries. More Scholarships and financial assistance for TVET students/learners. An effort to redirect the funds of Congressional Offices as well as the LGUs fund allocation for training and livelihood will be initiated. These funds should be utilized for expanding and sustaining scholarship programs on qualifications responsive to the socio-economic needs of Lanao del Norte. Promotion of alternative learning systems for youth and adults. This shall include the introduction/ integration of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Madrasah education and the promotion of media-based distance TVET learning programs.
TVET Issues and Challenges Macro-Level Challenges:
he Summary of Presidential Directives Volume 17, issued on January 2008 by Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal, Arroyo highlighted several key points as the governments policy statements vis-a-vis the impact of economic downturn affecting TVET-related
Page 81
2010-2013
developments. Such policy statements are major challenges that every public and private institutions are to hurdle and become bases for their development initiatives either TESD-related or non-TESD related: Fast-tracking of programs to improve food production and distribution like irrigation, farmto-market roads, post-harvest facilities and barangay bagsakan centers; Directing the DPWH to increase the employment of out-of-school youths through the OYSTER program; Directing TESDA to expand TVET program with high chances of employment like welding, butchering, call centers and BPO, and construction (carpentry); Increase micro-financing and loans for small entrepreneurs; Government investments in human and physical infrastructures like roads, bridges, airports, as well as new schools and scholarships; Issuance of EO 652 creating Presidential Task Force for Education to assess, plan and monitor the entire educational system; Education as the key to our next generation in order to get ahead and get a good job; Stopping the collection of miscellaneous expenses on enrollment day; Allocation of 1 billion pesos to TESDA scholarships to give increase access of the poor to quality education and training; Encouraging scholarships in ladderized education Asking the universities and colleges to be updated about the current demands in the local and international markets
Major TVET Challenges vis-a-vis TESDA Mandate

With the increasing recognition of TVETs role in the development of the national economy, the major challenges confronting TVET are in the area of increasing access to and quality of TVET. Massive National TVET Trainers / Assessors Qualification Program. More than increasing the trainers in number, the greater challenge is ensuring their quality. Indeed, this calls for an intensive implementation of an assessment program for Trainers. A number of initiatives have been adopted in response to this. One is the adoption of the Philippine TVET Trainers Qualifications Framework (PTTQF). Each Trainer Qualification (TQ) is a combination of a competency level in technology (a particular National Certificate level) and an appropriate competency level in the Training Methodology (TM). One major challenge is the recent effort of TESDA to embark on a National TVET Trainers and Assessors Qualification Program. A total of 4,000 trainers will undergo the program in 2006. This consists of 1,300 TESDA trainers and the remaining 2,700 trainers from institutions with programs progressing from No Training Regulation (NTR) to With Training Regulation (WTR) status as well as those who will implement Ladderized programs starting SY 2006-2007. Expanding the Capacity of Private TVET Institutions through Scholarships. The other major challenge is expanding the capacity of private TVET institutions through scholarships. It makes the TVET system highly accessible to poor but deserving Filipinos who require and need economic empowerment through the acquisition of competitive competencies that meet job requirements. In response to this challenge, the existing scholarship programs of TESDA are being expanded by pursuing partnership especially through financial sharing scheme with national and local officials. The encouraging
Page 82
2010-2013
response of national and local officials brings TVET opportunities to an increasing number of beneficiaries. Global competitiveness. The rapid pace of globalization pressures nations to be competitive in order to survive. This ushers the freer permeability of human resources among countries. While it poses as a huge challenge to the survival of Filipino workforce in the global market, it yields various opportunities. This challenge pushes for the continuing development and replenishment of manpower in order to ensure that there are workers of the right quality and right quantity for jobs that are made available at any given instance. Further, it urges for a stronger labor market intelligence and technology development. Lastly, it encourages transformation of the Filipino workforce to be knowledge-based and adaptable to shifting skills or even occupations. Relevance, equity, accessibility and cost-efficiency of TVET. In pursuits of relevant, accessible, equal and cost-efficient TVET, TESDA will gear up to raise the capacity of TVET by being more innovative in managing its resources and tapping more partners that could augment the limited resources, and satisfy the demands of the industries in terms of skills and competency requirements by sharpening labor market intelligence and subsequently use the updated labor market information in developing and re-engineering training programs.
Issues and Challenges at the Sector Level

At the national level, the following sectors are identified as critical as they have high socioeconomic impact. It is also good to look into the issues and challenges these sectors are facing despite their weak presence in the Province of Lanao del Norte. As some of these sectors offer lucrative opportunities for employment and income generation, the Province, despite its being predominantly agricultural in nature, will be putting-in people through its human development efforts for immediate and future out-bound/in-bound employment opportunities based on the economic trends and global economic developments. Below are the sectors covered: 8. Manufacturing, Metals and Engineering The field of manufacturing has undergone dramatic changes during the past decade. Diverse forces driving these changes include the following factors: - rapid technological advances in areas such as computers, lasers, machine vision, robotics and automation; - emerging new materials including polymers, composites and ceramics; - an accelerating trend toward a global economy with intensified international trade competition; - changing labor management relationships; - dwindling natural resources; - increasing energy costs; - heightened environmental concerns
Page 83
2010-2013
9. Construction Sector The local construction industry is experiencing a good growth pattern over the past several years and expected to continue but not as robust as last year where the industry hit a 19.4% growth. The international construction market holds much promise, with the building demand of the Middle East and nearby will be the Andersen Air Base expansion in Guam. All these contribute to the need of more engineers in quantities never heard of before. Piracy has become the norms by both local and foreign arenas in terms of hiring experts and highly competent workers. 10. Electronics Sector The sector is worth a US$31 Billion industry, 64% of the total exports of the country. Investment in 2007 is 1.4M USD. However it has been met with the following competitiveness and job-growth challenges: - Difficulty to attract duly-prepared graduates and retain trained people especially its core people the engineers - to support firm competitiveness goals. - Pirating within sector happens - Others go out of the country for better pay Critical to the electronics sector are the managerial talents responsible for every line department at the firms level Expert Groups identify 2 major types of trainings for the sector and vary accordingly per functional group, job level and type: - Technical trainings e.g. nanotechnology; various learning modules per job level, per functional group and product group - Behavioral trainings- e.g. Zero-defect whereby people will be taught to be like robots, but which is very effective. They will be trained to think that they cannot make mistakes. Others in relation to leadership, teaming, corporate culture 11. ICT and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) In 2007, it is estimated that revenues reached USD5 billion and employment grew to 320,000 employees. It is for these achievements that the country, Philippines, was named the Best Outsourcing Destination in 2007 by the National Outsourcing Association of the United Kingdom. The Philippine O&O industry has grown rapidly because it has the ingredients critical to O&O service providers and customers: - large-scale people resources, with close to half-a-million English-speaking students graduating from college yearly; - quality, with a well-deserved reputation for excellence in communication skills, interpersonal warmth, customer-service orientation, problem-solving abilities, and cultural affinity with Western markets and customs; - an operational cost advantage, with costs competitive with any supplier country in the world, including India; - infrastructure, with world-class telecommunication networks and BPO workplace facilities; and - financial incentives, with highly competitive investment packages for information technology (IT) and IT-enabled services investors, whether third party services providers or captive regional shared services centers
Page 84
2010-2013
12. Healthcare Services Sector The demand for medical tourism jobs in the country is not that high yet. Medical tourism here worldwide generally is considering the serious medical tourism and the light medical tourism. - The serious means heart operation, kidney operations. - The light ones are the eye surgery, dental, not life-threatening, like skin grafting, or those that are not necessary like liposuction, bust job, thats another sector. Right now Thailand and India is cheaper in light medical tourism which give them an edge if it can market the advantages that they have. The Thai cannot speak English while an average Indian is not so caring. If medical tourists would look at prices alone, they will not choose these countries, and may opt to choose the Philippines for a 20% more of the service fees There is generally a problem of oversupply in the health sector. Most students enroll in health related courses inorder to work to work abroad. Caregiving course costs around PH30,000 and most of them are taken as a second course because of the supposed hype of the demand elsewhere. Obviously, this is a regulated industry and so regulators must be accountable for dissemination of correct labor market information and procedures of job placements. The public are not given the opportunity to participate in policy advocacy particularly on the placement of caregivers in the local markets. Nothing in the hospital local setting needs caregivers. Care givers are home-based and based in nursing homes. This has to be clearly qualified. 13. Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Services Sector According to the Experts Panel on tourism, travel and hospitality services sector, the sector is still on data generation stage on clarifying: coverage of tourism tourism-related schools local tourism initiatives and good practices actual tourism sector job requirements and qualifications within and across what he calls the 5As of Tourism Arrive, Access, Accommodation, Attraction, Activities - training needs - existing training and education regulations government tourism related curricular programs Today, graduates of this sector need to be trained again when they start working. In tourism, they just take anybody in with or without the necessary training. The schools have not really addressed what the industry wants and really needs. The graduates only find out how much they do not know and should have known even while there were in school. Growth in the provinces depends on the kind and disposition of entrepreneurs in the area. The Provinces usually depend on the national tourism players in terms of accessing tourism services. The government bureaucracy and political influences are controlling the promotion of tourism potentials such that resources are spread too thinly
Page 85
2010-2013
to please the politicians. The efforts cannot be concentrated and therefore success is limited. Trainings foremost are needed by enterprise owners/operators of travel and hospitality related businesses. 14. Agri-Fishery Sector Arable farmland comprises more than 40% of the total land area. Although the Philippines is rich in agricultural potential, inadequate infrastructure, lack of financing, and government policies have limited productivity gains. Philippine farms produce food crops for domestic consumption and cash crops for export. The agricultural sector employs more than one-third of the work force but provides less than a fifth of GDP. Decades of uncontrolled logging and slash-and-burn agriculture in marginal upland areas have stripped forests, with critical implications for the ecological balance. Although the government has instituted conservation programs, deforestation remains a severe problem. With its 7,107 islands, the Philippines has a very diverse range of fishing areas. Notwithstanding good prospects for marine fisheries, the industry continues to face a difficult future due to destructive fishing methods, a lack of funds, and inadequate government support. Agriculture generally suffers from low productivity, low economies of scale, and inadequate infrastructure support.
Issues and Challenges: Province of Lanao del Norte

The set of issues and problems generated from various consultations and analyses of the planning environment is summarized as cause and effect relationships which is depicted in a problem tree (figure 4.2). The analysis shows that the core problem revolves around insufficiency in family incomes to meet basic needs and to be able to enjoy simple amenities in life. With the magnitude of the provinces low income families, poverty incidence is relatively high which is placed at 44.1% in 2006. Items highlighted in the Problem Tree are issues which can be dealt with by TESD-related approaches and initiatives or which the TVET Sector can address. It is in these areas that this Plans TESD Framework will revolve. The Problem Tree tells us that because of Poor Attitudes and the Large Number of Family Size, among other physical and human causes, resulted to three major contributors of high poverty incidence. These are Low Agricultural Productivity, Declining Productivity in Fishery and Coastal Resources, and Unemployment/underemployment which resulted to low or insufficient family income.

his section seeks to answer one essential question: If the impact of the crisis on economic growth has been larger than originally anticipated, has the labour market outlook also deteriorated further compared with prior expectations?
In January 2009, the ILO constructed and published three scenarios for how the crisis would impact global and regional unemployment in 2009-2010: Scenario 1 was generated using the historical relationship between economic growth and unemployment at the country level between 1991 and 2008, together with the IMF GDP growth projections for 2009 Scenario 2 was generated on the basis of the relationship between economic growth and unemployment during the worst observed economic downturn in each country, by applying this relationship to the 2009 IMF GDP growth projections. Scenario 3 was generated by taking the worst observed year-on-year increase in each countrys unemployment rate and assumes that this same increase would happen simultaneously in all developed countries in 2009. Given the lagged impact of the crisis in developing economies, for these economies, half of the largest observed increase is assumed to occur in 2009. Based on these three scenarios, the ILO indicated in January that global unemployment could increase by between 18 million (Scenario 1) and 51 million people (Scenario 3) worldwide from 2007 to 2009, corresponding to a global unemployment rate of between 6.1 per cent and 7.1 per cent. On the basis of downward GDP revisions, the ILO released a revised range in March of between 24 million and 52 million, corresponding to a global unemployment rate of between 6.3 per cent and 7.1 per cent. In the March Global Employment Trends publication of ILO, Scenario 2 produced an estimated increase in unemployment of 38 million people from 2007 to 2009, corresponding to a rate of 6.7 per cent and a total of 217 million unemployed worldwide in 2009. At the time of those estimates, the IMF projection for global growth in 2009 was 0.5 per cent, with negative growth expected only in the Developed Economies and European Union and Central and South Eastern Europe (nonEU) & CIS regions. The current range for 2009 has shifted upwards, to an increase of between 29 million (Scenario 1) and 59 million unemployed (Scenario 3) over the period from 2007 to 2009 8.

Figure 5.1: Global unemployment according to three scenarios
Scenario 2 currently produces an estimated increase in unemployment of 39 million from 2007 to 2009, corresponding to an unemployment rate of 6.8 per cent and a total of 220 million unemployed in 2009. Large-scale job losses began to occur in the closing months of 2008. In total, the ILO estimates that global unemployment increased by approximately 8.4 million in 2008, with large increases in unemployment in the Developed Economies and European Union, Central and South Eastern Europe (non-EU) & CIS and East Asia regions. In 2009, job losses around the world have clearly intensified. The total projected increase in global unemployment between 2008 and 2009 is 21 million people in Scenario 1, 31 million in Scenario 2 and 50 million in the worst case Scenario 3. Due to the significant volatility and uncertainty in economic growth forecasts, precise estimates of the increase in global and regional unemployment are not possible. Given that the current global jobs crisis represents a clear, adverse break in the historical unemployment series for many countries, the lowest unemployment scenario, obtained by applying the historical relationship between GDP growth and unemployment, is no longer realistic. At the same time, the large fiscal policy stimuli and other responses taken by many governments will hopefully reduce the likelihood of unemployment increasing towards the upper range given by Scenario 3. Recovery towards the end of 2009 or in 2010 will depend to a great extent on an amelioration of conditions in finance markets and a strong impact from fiscal measures, both of which remain uncertain outcomes. The ILOs current projection for global unemployment in 2009 is between scenarios 2 and 3. It is hoped that the likelihood of Scenario 3 will be reduced with successful implementation of policies to stimulate aggregate demand and those suggested by the ILOs proposed Global Jobs Pact, which will be discussed at the forthcoming International Labour Conference in June.

Impacts on women and youth It is important to note that the crisis is likely to affect some groups of workers more than others. The Global Employment Trends for Women report released in March highlighted the different ways in which men and women are expected to be impacted. The main conclusions were: The economic crisis is detrimental for both women and men, whether they are at work, looking for work or outside the labour force. However, the report confirmed that women are often in a disadvantaged position in comparison to men in labour markets around the world. In most regions, the female unemployment rates are expected to increase more than male unemployment rates, a reflection of womens disproportionate representation in temporary employment and that women tend to comprise a substantial share of employment in export-oriented manufacturing industries in many developing countries. However, in the Developed Economies and the European Union as well as in East Asia regions with limited gender gaps in employment opportunities preceding the current crisis male and female unemployment rates may converge due to the stronger impact of the crisis on male unemployment rates. There is much variation in the gender impact of the economic crisis at the country level. As regards to youth, prior to the onset of the global economic crisis, young people were 2.8 times as likely to be unemployed than adults at the global level. It is therefore a concern that the impact of the economic crisis has been particularly severe for youth, who face a shortage of employment opportunities as they look to enter the labour market. Based on the three GET scenarios, the number of unemployed youth is projected to increase by between 4.9 million and 17.7 million from 2008 to 2009. The youth unemployment rate is projected to increase from 12.2 per cent in 2008 to between 13.0 and 15.1 per cent in 2009. For adults, who make up the bulk of the labour force, the projected increase in the unemployment rate is 0.5 to 1.2 percentage points. Figure 5.2: Projected changes in youth and adult unemployment rates, 2008-2009
Page 91
2010-2013
The youth unemployment rate in Latin America and the Caribbean is projected to increase by between 1.5 and 4.3 percentage points from 2008 to 2009. The results of the scenarios indicate that youth unemployment rates may increase between 0.6 and 3.1 percentage points in East Asia, between 0 and 4.6 percentage points in the Middle East, and between 0 and 4 percentage points in North Africa.
Impact on total employment Unemployment is on the rise globally, but does this mean that employment around the world is shrinking? Globally, the short answer is no. Between 2000 and 2007, global employment grew at an average annual rate of 1.8 per cent (see Table B3). In 2008, global employment growth decreased to 1.4 per cent and the three unemployment scenarios for 2009 are consistent with growth in global employment of between 0 and 1 per cent. Importantly, all three scenarios reach the same conclusion: Looking at data from 1991 onwards (representing an approximate starting point of a more integrated global economy), 2009 will represent the worst global performance on record in terms of employment creation. As the global labour force in recent years has expanded at an average rate of around 1.6 per cent or 45 million, this will represent a severe potential shortage of new employment opportunities. In addition, some regions are actually expected to show a contraction in employment this year, reflecting the severe effects of the crisis in terms of job destruction.
Quality of employment: vulnerable employment It is also important to assess whether employment quality is declining. In the previous Global Employment Trends reports on the crisis, the ILO produced scenarios to gauge the impact of the crisis on vulnerable employment, which is calculated as the sum of own-account workers and contributing family workers. Many workers in these types of employment status, particularly in developing economies but at times in developed economies as well, do not benefit from a social safety net if they lose their livelihoods or face challenges such as personal or family member illnesses. These workers are also less likely than more formal wage and salary employees to receive an adequate income and have their fundamental labour rights respected. On the basis of the latest labour market data and GDP growth projections, the current projection is that the share of workers in vulnerable employment will be between 48.9 per cent and 52.8 per cent of the total global workforce, or between 1.49 billion and 1.6 billion workers worldwide versus a revised 1.5 billion in 2007 and 1.49 billion in 2008.
Implications for labour productivity In addition to rising unemployment and a potential increase in vulnerable employment, the crisis is having a serious negative impact on average output per worker, an indicator of labour productivity. The ILO unemployment scenarios can also be utilized to produce scenarios of labour productivity growth for 2009.
Page 92
Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Plan Table 5.1: Labour Productivity Growth in 2009
2010-2013
Globally, output per worker is expected to decline by between 1.3 per cent and 2.3 per cent this year. Negative growth is projected in all scenarios in all regions except East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. In the long-run, labour productivity is a key determinant of living standards, as higher output per worker can lead to increased wages and/or shorter working hours for equal or greater remuneration. A positive relationship between productivity and wages and working conditions is not guaranteed, however. In many developing countries in recent years, real wages have grown at a much slower rate than labour productivity.
Updated regional outlook

Below are selected regions in the world where most Filipinos and other nationalities consider as avenues of socio-economic opportunities. They are considered big economies that whatever changes in their economic situation, would surely impact other small economies including the Philippines: Developed Economies and European Union In the Global Employment Trends for Women publication published in March, the ILO projected a range of 35 million to 40 million total unemployed in 2009 in this region. The economic and labour market situation in the United States and some European economies deteriorated considerably faster and further than previously anticipated, and the expected total number of unemployed in this region in 2009 is now between 39.7 million and 46.4 million. An increase in unemployment of more than 12 million since 2008 is currently viewed as probable in this region in 2009, with the region accounting for 35 to 40 per cent of the total global increase in unemployment in 2009, despite comprising less than 16 per cent of the global labour force.
Page 93
2010-2013
In the United States alone, the number of unemployed increased by more than 2.6 million in the first four months of 2009. Spain, which has been hit hard by the crisis, has seen its number of unemployed increase by more than 800,000 in the first quarter of 2009 and the countrys unemployment rate now stands above 17 per cent. Overall, jobs are being destroyed in this region: total employment is projected to shrink this year by between 1.3 per cent and 2.7 per cent, reflecting the large negative shock to labour markets. The ongoing destruction of wage employment in many developed economies is reflected in the regions share of workers in vulnerable employment. Across all 3 scenarios, this share is projected to rise in 2009, from 10.1 per cent in 2008 to between 10.2 per cent and 11.4 per cent in 2009. Central and South Eastern Europe (non-EU) & CIS The largest downward revisions to economic growth occurred in this region and the impact of the deteriorating economic environment is clearly reflected in the regions labour market trends. The number of unemployed in this region could increase by as much as 35 per cent in 2009. The unemployment rate in the Russian Federation stood at 5.3 per cent in September 2008 and rose to 8.5 per cent in February 2009. Turkeys unemployment rate increased from 10.3 per cent to 15.5 per cent over the same period. Despite accounting for less than 6 per cent of the global labour force, this region is expected to account for around twice this figure with regard to the total increase in global unemployment this year. Total employment is projected to shrink by between 1 per cent and 2.8 per cent, versus historical average annual growth of 1.3 per cent. East Asia While unemployment is rising in East Asia and factory closures and associated large-scale job losses have occurred, because of a lack of sufficient data, there is a large degree of uncertainty in terms of the overall increase in unemployment in this region. On the basis of the ILO scenarios, an increase of 2.9 million to 12.8 million is predicted for 2009, representing a regional unemployment rate in the range of 4.6 per cent to 5.8 per cent. Chinas massive fiscal stimulus package USD 586 billion, amounting to nearly 7 per cent of GDP over two years is notably helping to boost domestic demand and offset declining exports in the country, which will benefit economic and labour market trends in the region given the countrys sheer size. Vulnerable employment is a major challenge in East Asia. Indeed, at the onset of the crisis it is estimated that there were around 12 times as many people in East Asia in vulnerable employment as in unemployment. While the share of workers in vulnerable employment may remain stable this year in the region (the range given by the scenarios is 51.8 per cent to 56.6 per cent of total employment versus 53.4 per cent in 2008), the total number of vulnerable workers is likely to grow, underscoring the need to make social protection measures an integral component of fiscal stimulus efforts. Investments in social protection can also help to ensure that progress in poverty reduction is not reversed. Along with Chinas rapid development, the region has seen a tremendous reduction in working poverty in recent years. In 2007, approximately 10 per cent of workers in the region lived with their families on less than USD 1.25 per day while one in three lived on less than USD 2 per day.9 South East Asia and the Pacific An economic contraction of -0.7 per cent is now expected for this region in 2009 with Singapores economy projected to decline by a troubling 10 per cent this year, and Malaysias projected to decline by 3.5 per cent. Cambodia, Fiji and Thailand are also expected to register negative economic growth. An increase in unemployment of between 1.6 million and 2.7 million is currently projected for the region on the basis of the three scenarios, which is roughly consistent with prior expectations. This represents a fairly moderate increase in unemployment in comparison with some other regions, which is driven to a significant extent by

projections for Indonesia, the regions largest country. Though growth has suffered, Indonesia is weathering the crisis relatively well, as it has a large domestic market and is less reliant on external trade for growth. Nevertheless, workers in export-oriented manufacturing have been hard hit in the region, and a sharp reduction in foreign direct investment will limit private sector development. However, favourable government finances and trade surpluses in many countries provide fiscal space for public investment to help offset the contraction in private activity. As export-sector jobs are lost, the share of workers in vulnerable employment is expected to increase. In 2008, around 61 per cent of workers in the region were in vulnerable employment. This could rise to between 62.3 per cent and 64.4 per cent this year, according to the results of scenarios 2 and 3.10 Middle East and North Africa Growth expectations for both the Middle East and North Africa regions have moderated, with the Middle East now expected to grow by 2.3 per cent in 2009 and North Africa expected to grow by 3.2 per cent. The economies of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are both expected to contract this year, owing primarily to the financial market and real estate downturn in the former and to the decline in oil prices in the latter. The current ILO projections for unemployment in the Middle East and North Africa regions in 2009 are roughly in line with earlier estimates, with an upper estimate of 1.6 million additional unemployed in 2009 in the Middle East, which would represent an increase of approximately 25 per cent and an upperbound estimate of an additional 900 thousand unemployed in North Africa, representing an increase of approximately 13 per cent. Vulnerable employment is expected to increase in both the Middle East and North Africa regions. Around one in three workers in each region are in vulnerable employment and this ratio could rise to as much as 4 in 10 according to the highest scenario. Importantly, the Middle East is a prime destination for migrant workers, both from within the region to the Gulf countries and from elsewhere in the world. As a result, labour market developments in the region have a major and far reaching economic and social impact.
Top Five Countries/Regions for Job Placement Destinations: CY 2009 and Beyond
According to a study conducted in New York City of which result was posted last August, 2008, there is a huge shift of job placement destinations of our graduates and skilled workers. The shift in demand is having numerous ripple effects on other job sectors. In Perth, Western Australia, for example, even bus drivers have become scarce, as mining companies snap up every one they can find to ensure they have enough drivers for their mines. That demand has helped Australia's unemployment reach a 33-year low this year. Other countries, including Canada and Brazil, are also benefiting from the commodities bonanza. That has led to low jobless figures in some areas of those countries. But those low unemployment figures do not always go hand in hand with a strengthening economy - sometimes it's merely a factor. For example, the somewhat idling Japan is number two on global placement firm Manpower's list of the hottest job markets.

A similar phenomenon has emerged in Denmark. It was the first European Union country to slide into a recession (defined as two consecutive months of negative growth) amid the subprime crisis, which spread to Europe late last summer. However, despite a gloomy economy, less than 50,000 people, out of a population of 5.5 million, are unemployed. Obsolete immigration laws and high labor-taxes have squeezed Danish companies in need of everything from executives and middle managers to electricians and mailmen. Somewhat surprisingly, this year's number one job growth market according to Manpower is Romania, where a large influx of foreign companies has already absorbed much of the country's skilled labor, such as carpenters, electricians and plumbers. Yet it's not just the skilled labor pool that's become thin. More than 73% of companies in Romania have had difficulties filling all types of positions. Luring back expatriates used to be the number one solution for Eastern European countries hoping to offset a shortage in the executive ranks. As the commodities boom grows, the search for executives and middle management will get a lot tougher. Barren areas in Kazakhstan or the Australian Outback are typically not the top pick of college students looking for career growth.11 According to the study, there are now five (5) hottest global job markets as follow: Canada Ontario is being hit hard by the economic slowdown in the United States, but there's more to Canada than the eastern cities along the U.S. border. The commodities bonanza has made the distant parts of the country more attractive. High demand for potash and uranium in Saskatchewan entices Canadian workers to move west. And Alberta, the richest province in Canada, stays strong. Demand for executives is particularly high in Calgary. Denmark According to the Danish government, the unemployment rate is 1.7 %. That's too low to be healthy for the economy, said the director of the country's central bank recently - a statement that's been criticized by Danish politicians who take comfort in the fact that less than 50,000 people are looking for jobs. But understaffed Danish businesses agree - they want looser immigration laws to spur the economy and increase the labor pool. For now, companies fill up positions with commuting Swedes and temporary Polish workers. Japan After a decade and a half of recession and stagnation, Japanese economic growth seems to be picking up a little. But the workforce is expected to contract on account of an aging population. Employers now find it hard to hire IT staff, sales representatives, technicians and engineers. The high demand for labor may not be permanent. If the United States has a sustained downturn, Japan's economy may take another hit. Romania Rising salaries, EU membership and a better standard of living will lure expatriates back to Romania - at least that's what the government hopes for. In reality, an estimated two million Romanians still live outside their native country, and a flood of foreign companies has absorbed most of the skilled labor left in the country. That leaves Romanian businesses desperate for labor.

More than 73 percent of Romanian employers now have trouble filling positions according to a Manpower survey. Engineers are in high demand. Australia The job market is looking pretty good in the land down under. Unemployment in hit a 33-year low in January. Mining prosperity adds to almost two decades of uninterrupted growth and Aussies are crying out for everything from bus drivers to doctors. The new Labor government recently announced that it plans to allow 190,000 immigrants in a year - an increase of 25% from the current immigration quota.
National Scenario: Philippines
The Economy Today The Philippine economy seems comparatively well-equipped to weather the global financial crisis in the short term, partly as a result of the efforts over the past few years to control the fiscal deficit, bring down debt ratios, and adopt internationally-accepted banking sector capital adequacy standards. The Philippine banking sector--which comprises 80% of total financial system resources--has limited direct exposure to distressed financial institutions overseas. Conservative regulatory policies, including the prohibition of investments in structured products, shielded the insurance sector from exposure to distressed financial firms. While direct financial exposure to problematic investments and financial institutions is limited, the impact of external shocks to economic growth, poverty alleviation, employment, remittances, credit availability, and overall investment prospects is a concern. GDP grew by 7.3% in 2007, the fastest annual pace of growth in over three decades--fueled by increased government and private construction expenditures; a robust information communications technology industry; improved post-drought agricultural harvests; and strong private consumption, spurred in part by $14.4 billion in remittances from overseas workers (equivalent to about 10% of GDP). However, real year-on-year GDP growth slowed to 3.8% during 2008, reflecting the impact of high food and fuel prices and global financial uncertainties on the domestic economy. Overseas workers remittances--which increased 13.7% year-on-year in 2008 to a new $16.4 billion record--helped cushion the impact of external shocks on economic growth, but began to slow during 2008s fourth quarter. Remittances are expected to grow 3%-4% in 2009 despite the global financial crisis, helping the economy avoid recession and supporting the balance of payments and international reserves. Most independent forecasts also currently see Philippine GDP growing within the governments 0.8%-1.8% targeted range for 2009. It will take a higher, sustained economic growth path to make more appreciable progress in poverty alleviation given the Philippines' annual population growth rate of 2.04%, one of the highest in Asia. The portion of the population living below the national poverty line increased from 30% to 33% between 2003 and 2006, equivalent to an additional 3.8 million poor Filipinos. Slower economic growth here and abroad, a soft domestic labor market, and uncertainties over overseas employment opportunities threaten to push more Filipinos into poverty. Business process outsourcing (BPO) has been the fastest-growing segment of the Philippine economy and has been relatively resilient amid the global financial turmoil, totaling an estimated 10% of the global outsourcing market and generating more than $6 billion in revenues in 2008 (up 26% and equivalent to about 3.6% of Philippine GDP). Although revenue growth has slowed from
Page 97
2010-2013
40% during 2006 and 2007, industry officials expect the BPO sector to post double-digit revenue growth of between 20%-30%, and to generate about 100,000 new jobs, during 2009. The balance of payments surplus--which hit a record $8.6 billion in 2007 from higher overseas worker remittances, tourism receipts, BPO-related revenues, portfolio investments, and official development assistance funds--narrowed to $18 million during 2008. Merchandise exports--which rely heavily on electronics shipments for about two-thirds of sales--declined by nearly 3% yearon-year during 2008, pulled down by a 23% year-on-year decline in fourth-quarter revenues. Although there has been some improvement over the years, the local value added of electronics exports remains relatively low at about 30%. Net foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows dropped by 48% from 2007, to $1.5 billion; and net foreign portfolio capital reversed from a $3.8 billion net inflow in 2007 to a $3.6 billion net outflow in 2008. Import growth slowed but nevertheless increased by more than 2%, mainly because of spikes in international prices of fuel, rice, and petroleum-based agricultural inputs. Foreign tourist arrivals sputtered to 1.5% growth and tourism-related revenues weakened. The United States remains the Philippines' largest trading partner with $17 billion in two-way trade during 2008, and is among the largest investors with $6 billion in total direct investments. Although showing signs of bottoming out, merchandise exports slumped further in 2009 (with January-August 2009 exports down 30.3% year-on-year). However, the merchandise import bill has also declined (31.2% as of August 2009), combining with the continued expansion in overseas remittances and BPO revenues, and improving net foreign direct and portfolio investment flows to produce a wider balance of payments surplus (estimated at $2.8 billion as of August 2009). Employment and Poverty Today Pressure on job creation may arise as the government unwinds its fiscal stimulus program. With the narrowing fiscal space, concern on the sustainability of public spending will eventually call for a reduction in spending. As job creation is largely driven by government spending (e.g., the CLEEP program), unemployment may rise with the weakening of public spending. Electionrelated spending may create additional buffer towards May 2010, especially for the informal labor sector. 31. Notwithstanding measures taken by the Philippine authorities, the global recession is projected to throw 1.4 million Filipinos into poverty by 2010. Based on a macro-micro simulation exercise for the Philippines, the poverty rate is estimated to be 0.9 and 1.5 percentage points higher in 2009 and 2010 respectively as a result of the global recession, compared to what would have been without it. The impact of the crisis on urban areas, the manufacturing and services sectors, and for female-headed households is expected to be particularly high. Aside from reduced employment and labor earnings due to the slowdown in economic activity, non-labor income is also estimated to be lower due to slower overseas remittances (compared to the no-crisis scenario), both in terms of the number of households receiving and amounts received. Labor market conditions are expected to deteriorate significantly in 2009 and through 2010. Several factors point to this conclusion. First, while signs of a weakening labor market abound, the economic slowdown observed in 2008 and in the first months of 2009 has yet to be transmitted fully to the labor market, as labor market developments trail economic activity. Second, the global recession is likely to lead, again with a lag, to a slowdown in net OFW deployments as global unemployment rises. Finally, a structural factor is also adding to the cyclical factors in weakening the labor market, namely a projected sharp increase in the labor force during 2008-2010 resulting from population dynamics. The deteriorating labor market is estimated to first affect the non-poor urban and young workers and to then spread to the poor as under-employment and informality of jobs rise.

Typhoons Pepeng and especially Ondoy provide significant upside potential for remittance inflows in and around October 2009. Recent research shows that remittances in the Philippines act as an insurance to households affected by natural disasters. 12 As households affected by typhoon Ondoy constitute a large share of remittances flowing into the country, a strong increase in remittance inflows in and around the month of October is expected. Indeed, Ondoy affected metro Manila which is the region where more of overseas remittances are remitted and it also affected a large amount of middle and upper middle class householdsthese are also strong beneficiaries of overseas remittances. Based on the Yang and Choi (2007) findings, an average of 60 percent of household income lost through natural disasters is replaced by remittances. Despite the strong upside potential for remittances in the remaining months of 2009, the real peso value of remittances is expected to moderately slow down from the strong performance observed in the first half of 2009, as inflation has moderated (notwithstanding the moderate and localized supply shocks stemming from the typhoons) and the exchange rate has appreciated. The remittance impact on private consumption is nonetheless not expected to decrease as the marginal propensity to consume out of remittance inflows is expected to increase sharply compared to the first half of 2009 since (1) the economy is recovering so that precautionary motives are reduced, and (2) the expected temporary surge in remittances is expected to be intended and directed towards immediate reconstruction and rehabilitation needs. 13
Regional Scenario: Northern Mindanao

Region Ten is still growing at a fast pace. This growth is the highest registered among the 17 regions in the country making the region the fastest growing regional economy in 2008. With the growth, the region increased its share to the GDP from 4.9 to 5.0 percent, the region being among the 6 regions with GDP share of 5% and above. Northern Mindanao still has the 3 rd highest per capita GRDP nationwide.

Even with the economic slowdown, the regional economic structure continues its transformation from previously agricultureled to more of services and industry. Even, the present structure is still relatively balanced such that a good performance of one sector could more or less offset the declines in the other sectors.
Figure 5.5: Percent Share of GDP by Sector, as of 2009
Northern Mindanao posted the fastest growth rate among the countrys 17 regions in 2008, even with a slowdown from the 7.7 percent growth in 2007. The effects of the economic problems we manifested in the huge declines in the growths in the services and industry sectors. These, however were cushioned by the very good performance in the agriculture sector. This a reversal in sectoral performance in the previous years where services and industry were the major drivers Agriculture Sector: Agriculture recorded the largest expansion among sectors in 2008, to wit: Agriculture -10.7% Industry 4.2% Services 2.3%

Performance in the AFF Sector was mostly from agriculture and fishery production. Although forestry registered a negative growth of 2.1%, this was an improvement from a contraction of 24.4 percent in the previous year.
Table 5.2: Performance of Agri-fishery and Foresty in terms of GRDP, as of 2009
Agricultural production, on the whole, continues its increasing trend. Modest growths were noted in almost all crops specially for rice, although corn suffered the consequences of the bad weather in the first quarter. Livestock and fishery production registered modest increases, as well.

Industry Sector In the Industry sector, what was evidently hit by the crisis the manufacturing sub-sector which grew less than half of what was realized in 2007. Being the biggest contributor in this sector at about 22 percent of the GRDP, it brought down the growth in the industry sector even as mining and quarrying sub-sector registered a 20% growth. Performance in the Industry sector is greatly affected by the slowdown in manufacturing industry.

Services Sector The slowdown in the Service Sector very pronounced in the Trade sub-sector which registered only 1.6% growth from a 10.7 growth in the previous year. Contributing on about 2.5%, the increase in government services was not enough to offset the huge reductions in the other subsectors. Growth in Services was mostly pulled down by the slowdown in trade

Poverty and GDP The number of poor families increased by 6,516 between 2003 and 2006 inspite of the reduction in poverty incidence to 36.1 percent in 2006 from 37.7 percent in 2003. However, it is substantially higher than the national average of 26.9 percent and the plan target for 2006 of 29% to 31%.

2006 15,670 43.1
Elasticity
-0.1794
However, even with our high growth regime, we are still hounded by poverty. NSCB estimates that for every 1% increase in per capita GRDP, poverty incidence will decrease by only 0.18%. This would show that growth in the economy and access to productive resources are not well distributed across the economic strata of the population. High GRDP growths did not translate into reduction in poverty as a 1% increase in per Capita GRDP will decrease poverty incidence by only 0.1794%. As of April 2009, the employment rate slightly dropped to 94.8% from 95% in April 2008. Underemployment, however, declined from 26.7% to 24.5 percent.

Investments A slowdown in the inflow of investments, however, was noted by DTI for 2007 and 2008. Inflow of new investments shrunk by 72 percent as investments slowed down in all provinces except for Lanao del Norte.
Table 5.8: Investment Performance of Lanao del Norte vis--vis Other Provinces
The year 2009 may not be promising. Further slowdown in the economy is expected, hence the revision in the GDP growth targets for this year. Region X, is expected to perform better than the countrys average and will continue to draw strength from the agri-sector. The impact emergency employment and livelihood programs is expected to be felt in the third quarter. The recent credit ratings upgrade by Moodys hopefully would be translated into more investments inflow. While OFW remittances increased in the first five months, the government is just expecting that remittances could hold.

D. Agriculture/Fishing/Forestry While Lanao del Nortes industry specialization is on community/social/personal services sector, agriculture remains to be its economic driving force. About 40 percent of its total land area is devoted to crop production and other agriculture-related activities. The provinces climate and topography is suitable to all kinds of crops with rice corn, coconut, banana, fruits, vegetables and rootcrops as the major agricultural products. Livestock is another major agricultural product. With the presence of a dairy farm and a milk processing plant in the municipality of Sultan Naga Dimaporo, livestock is seen to evolve as a major contributor to the growth of the provinces economy. The fishery sector shall continue to given priority due to the high export potentials of existing products particularly seaweeds and crabs. The analysis on the provinces agricultural sector shall give emphasis on the commodities which are considered priority industries.

Provincial Skills Priorities
nder the PSALM Approach, occupational skills are critical if they are essential and indispensable in the operations of the firm within an industry. The Provinces critical skills are determined through a survey with the various sectors, and were validated through a Sectoral Champion Consultation Workshop. The critical skills determination was based on the stakeholders/respondents perception of the sector vis--vis assessment of the multi-level (global, national, regional and provincial levels) economic situation and outlook. The determination of the number of actual workers needed in a particular occupation in a specific sector was based on estimates which again the socio-economic growth of the province as well as the regional economic influence were used as the foundation. For the province of Lanao del Norte, the critical skills are determined on the basis of importance to the local economy, such that, the Services topped the list, followed by Agri-fishery, then the Industry and Trade. Under the major sectoral groupings are the following: 1. Services Health Services Social and Personal Services Tourism and Hospitality Services Information and Communications 4. Agriculture, Fishery & Forestry 5. Industry and Trade a. Construction b. Metals & Engineering

Chapter 6: STRATEGIC RESPONSE

2010-2013
Chapter 6 STRATEGIC RESONSE Analysis of Skills Gaps and Proactive Leverages
aking into consideration the priority skills identified in the previous chapter, the critical skills considered for the Provincial Skills Priorities took cognizance of the occupations the key sectors and industries as enumerated in the previous sections and chapters, the development trends and perspectives obtained in the different sectors of the economy of the global economy which trickles down into the local settings, national, regional and provincial. The pronouncements of the government in terms of poverty alleviation and proposed initiatives in the governments economic resiliency plan, which may be translated into TESD-related initiatives are also taken into consideration. A modest projection for programs and projects of the Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte that are in pipeline and are emerging, are also basis of skills analysis.
Causes of Skills Shortage, Oversupply and Mismatches:

A skills shortage occurs when the firms as buyers of skills find difficulties in sourcing out the skill from the labor market. The true skills shortage situation in the market is when the skills with a relatively high wage rate, but with no sellers of the said skill needed skill; or when labor is imported to the unavailability of said skills. Per information generated from the key informants, there are several factors that are contributory to the skills shortages and/or oversupply as follows: Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry Sector: Skills of available farm worker lack the needed soft skills like leadership, communications and interpersonal skills Large companies require from the agri-farm workers a community organizing skills to effectively perform field works involving affected communities There are no TVET Providers that offer agri-fishery and forestry-related programs (nondegree) in the province, except 1 TESDA Technology Institute There is still a stigma attached to Agri-fishery related qualifications Agri-culture and fishery related short-term training programs offered as community-based technology programs are not really responsive to the actual needs of the community; such that existing assets in the community are not seriously being considered Though Lanao del Norte has a large fishing area, its water resource is not fully maximized as revenue-generating for the community engaged in fishing activities. Largely agricultural in nature, skilled workers and semi-skilled workers actually abound, but there is no available database of how many and who are these workers are Limited availability of farm-based skills due to low regard to agricultural/farm worker as a gainful occupation Lack of technical-vocational providers for agri-fishery, programs are mostly limited to degree courses by SUCs Skills requirement is limited to multinational companies needs There is problem on peace and order in areas covered by agricultural crops production
Page 127
2010-2013
Social and Other Personal Services: There is a shortage of skills on Security Services because Training Providers are limited by other government regulatory bodies like the FSAG and concerned military instructions whose policies are rendered TESDA Regulations ineffective such as: required number of trainees to start a class should be sixty (60) Most of the Security Training Agencies take TESDAs standards and regulations for compliance purposes only, such that, they dont care to even report the status of training and employment of their graduates, hence, supply and demand are not reliably determined Recently, due to governments subsidized training initiatives like the Pangulong Gloria Scholarship (PGS), graduates are in qualifications like Bookkeeping, Security Services, Household Services, etc. are in surplus because there is no clear information as to what local industries that actually absorb or need them. Health Sector: Government has departments and agencies that make no focused attempts to harmonize the standards of Philippines with foreign countries. Very often there is no insistence on putting more understanding on the area of specialization and more focus on the areas of health care-related subjects than some generic course especially those not applicable to other countries. There is an oversupply of caregivers because nurses who cannot pass the more stringent requirements of employment abroad ended up becoming caregivers. Doctors who also want to get employment abroad find the care giving occupation as the easiest gate pass while enrolling as nurses. A number of industries find it hard to hire the right people resulting to many unfilled positions despite their being required/needed in hospitals, clinics and other health-related institutions In the Philippines, in principle, there is the demand for health professionals to address the basic and more serious health needs of the people. But data on institutional profiles of the sector, needed number and status of hospitals, health centers and clinics to address the needs of the consuming public are not readily available. In government health institutions, there are only a few positions specified under its plantilla posts. Caregivers have nowhere to practice their expertise before getting a job abroad, or even a temporary position where they can have actual industry exposure. The data on health sector is conflicting. Attempts to come up with a database of healthrelated workers were done, yet there is limited information as to where the graduates of health education are. There is mismatch of health curriculum with the international standards. The country does not need to expect all people to attain the highest level of standard if not to be applied in the country. However, aiming for global competitiveness requires infusing international industry requirements in the curriculum such as the correct CPR (International Red Cross versus TESDA training standards. This is where problems in the assessment activities usually come in such that the Test Package does not require Red Cross-specified competencies, yet, most schools/institutions are required by Red Cross to follow their standards in their instructions. There is limited information as to where exactly the demands for health care practitioners come from, and where should the data come from, hence, data on supply and demand is conflicting.

Tourism There are limited programs and providers of tourism-related occupations and its allied industries Culinary Arts and Commercial Cooking have very limited enrollees despite high demands due to high cost of training particularly in the practical stage of training as well as during the assessment of skills. Government perspective is based on what the international market wants, unmindful of the entrepreneurial avenues of the sector. But even with an entrepreneurial mindset, without the necessary capital infusion from healthy financial institutions tourism-related occupations may become futile, so supply is very limited. The sector has the Tourism Industry Board Foundation, Inc., a private sector initiative. They do not want to be regulated by the government. The less the government interferes, the better. But not all private sectors agree on the standardization like ISO and TUV. Such standardization requirements become a limiting factor for some Tech-Voc Providers to produce graduates as it requires higher investment. The school calls their industry partners internship partners. The students and parents are told these establishments are tied up with them for the internship of the students. However, at the end of the training, not all graduates can be accommodated which resulted to a bad impression of the sector. Tour Guiding and Travel Promotions are two occupations which the province of Lanao del Norte need to develop. Despite the provinces objective of promotion the province, particularly the City of Iligan as tourist destination, but the needed support services to cater tourists needs and sustain their attractions to the province is very limited. Training on Tour guiding is limited only to DOT-coordinated programs. No Training Providers yet are present in the Province due to unavailability of qualified trainers. Manufacturing From national industry perspective, manufacturing and engineering-related jobs essentially cover maintenance and repair of machineries installed in power generating plants and in manufacturing facilities for textile, food, beverage and other consumer products only. Furthermore, these jobs cover those of the professional and nonprofessional levels. The former normally require graduates of CHED recognized mechanical or electrical engineering programs and passers of PRC engineering board examinations. The latter normally require graduates of TESDA recognized process controls, welding and other non-electronics technician programs, hence, there is a mismatch of skills. These jobs are found in the domestic and overseas labor markets. In the domestic front, it is largely found in the state and privately managed industrial and special economic zones concentrated in Metro Manila, Central Luzon, Southern Tagalog and Cebu in Central Visayas region, while manufacturing activities in the Province are limited mostly on cottage industries. In the manufacturing sector, the pressure is high to keep up with the advancements in new technologies to stay competitive. However, any technology changes embraced by a manufacturing plant are inextricably linked to new and continuing developments in the electronics field e.g. pneumatics, robotic, electro-mechanical which are very rare within the regional and provincial levels.

Construction Most employers are still hesitant to fund their professional staff with the absence of a provision that would ensure their retention and continually serve them for certain periods of time. There is a huge scarcity for qualified people to fill in the upper levels jobs in the construction sector. Decision-making skills cannot be taught overnight. For those required in the lower levels, the industry can send the existing staff and the new graduates for additional training, but still the employers are hesitant to invest for reasons of security of tenure. Employers do not only prefer their newly hires to be technically skilled, they want something more from their workers which are as follows. These requirements limit the supply of graduates and skilled workers in the sector: - Communications skills both in written and oral - English proficiency; - The prevailing laws on engineering and construction; - Contracts and obligations - Taxation and finance; - Procurement and logistics management; - Project management software; - New trends in project estimating; - New technologies in design and engineering approaches; - Safety and occupational health.
Electronics The sector is well-organized and is blessed with an industry training policy however, it employs a seemingly bureaucratic system operating like an inverted pyramid in the number of people per level, which means: - most people have to be trained first before being able to operate in plants - many have no working knowledge - few people can work independently within standard - fewer are able to effectively lead, teach and tackle people and task problems and - very few can initiate and deliver innovations In relation to engineering undergraduates and graduates There is no available test package yet for specialized competencies in electronics, hence, skills supply is mostly on Consumer Electronics and Mechatronics. There are many talented Filipinos abroad, who have undergone specialized training in the electronics sector, and who are wanting to find opportunities back home, the question is, do we have the database? ICT & BPO The Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) is the umbrella organization for the fastest-growing industry in the Philippines: offshoring and outsourcing (O&O). BPAP serves as the one-stop information and advocacy gateway for the country's key O&O services sector and has over 200 company members, including five association members (including Contact Center Association of the Philippines Philippine Software Industry Association, Animation Council of the Philippines and Medical Transcription
Page 130
2010-2013
Industry Association of the Philippines). This arrangement, accordingly limits the participation of other tech-voc providers in the sector, because they have to comply with tedious requirements of the association, lagging behind in meeting the number required by employers. BPAP is doing marketing missions abroad and very aggressively negotiates to the investors for demands resulting to demands for talents increasing. But BPAP was not able to recruit as fast as the industry requires. Although the Philippines have had a good number of college graduates every year, but only a few are ready to be hired today with full-skills for BPO sector generated jobs. Although training standards are available under this sector, but they are only limited to Contact Center services, English Proficiency and Computer-Based Language Proficiency. Other competencies required in the BPO industries like Back Office management are not being provided, hence, graduates end up under trained. There is suitability issue in the sector. This is the biggest barrier for BPAP - the inability of the applicants to meet the required high standards of the BPO companies as compared with the requirements of other industries. Low level of awareness and willingness from students to explore careers in the BPO sector contributed to the shortage of skills. BPO is not yet a popular career of choice for the students because most of them want to be nurses. BPAP were not able to access many Universities both in Metro Manila and especially outside Metro Manila. Various back office processing jobs such as HR, finance/accounting transaction, finance/accounting complex, engineering, ICT operations, general and supervisory jobs are not provided for in TESDA Training Standards, hence, graduates fall short of the industry requirements. Trade (Wholesale and Retail) According to DTI, there are around 800,000 retail firms in the country, including moms and pops (sari-sari stores) or micro-enterprises which are abundant job market absorbers. However, there is no school in the Philippines offering retail courses. Retailers largely rely on the firm-based actual exposure as a training avenue. In Community-based training programs of the LGUs and NLAs, entrepreneurship training programs do not necessarily focused on retailing system and small business management, but mostly on entrepreneurship motivation and appreciation. In retailing, one does not have to really go to school to be able to sell. But the need to study entrepreneurship principles arises with the need to professionalize the sector and become more competitive. Critical retail jobs are the front-liners and the store managers. There is a demand ratio of 5 front-liners to 1 manager. Frontliners are more critical. For every shop, small or big, in and outside the mall, a front-liner is needed. Hence, the demand for front-liners is huge in both local and global markets. Concretely demands for trained Filipino frontliners come from Kuwait and other Middle East countries, Singapore, Macau and Portugal, however, there is very limited skilled workers for this occupation, but the unemployed degree holders in accounting, commerce, education, and even nurses.

Sectoral Strategies and Priority Interventions

Major Issues and Challenges Manufacturing, Metals and Engineering: Weak backward linkages of industries Heavy dependence on imported raw materials and intermediate inputs Litigious and comparably high costs in doing business Rapid technological advancements cannot be coped up with the local industries Strategic Response
Regular sector forum for rationalizing & regular updating of curricular programs for:
Incorporating anticipated developments Discarding obsolete programs and content, - Standardizing meanings of certificates = qualifications = acquired competencies - System for assessing actual competency of learners and accelerating fast learners Pre-employment training arrangements will help trainees easily land a job and at the same way, will help companies source out the needed number of trained entry level hirees to perform manufacturing and engineering technology related functions. Define/clarify standard competencies that go with pre-employment education and training certificate The academic community may hire industry practitioners as their professors or lecturers or presenters on highly specialized competencies To reduce the risk of piracy, the industry must initiate initiatives on increasing the salary and professional fee levels competitive to the global system. Government to encourage course offering on construction sectors by TVIs through a comanagement system and subsidized training programs Encourage high investment in the sector inorder to produce globally competitive players and workers The many trainings done by individual companies must be based on the competency standards of the sector Open up opportunities for further training abroad sponsored by big companies like Fujitsu through a competitive selection Develop brain-gain strategy and incentive schemes To respond to BPO requirements, TVET providers and training curricula must seriously incorporate the following as a minimum requirement: - computer software skills - language/s proficiency
Construction Sector: Rapid technological changes have left the educational institutions far behind New graduates need re-training prior to absorption by the industries which is quiet costly Piracy is common both local and foreign markets for experts and competent workers Very limited number of training providers; hence, construction materials providers put up a training system only to promote their products Electronics Sector: Difficulty to attract duly-prepared graduates and retain trained people Pirating within sectors is rampant Rampant brain-drain
ICT and BPO Sector: The BPO Industry is not yet popular in the country particularly in the Provinces Huge demands cannot be coped-up by the BPAP Skills specifically required by the BPO firms
Page 132
2010-2013
Major Issues and Challenges (Off-shoring and Outsourcing firms) are not being met by the TVET providers curriculum mismatch. Rapidly growing global demands have left a large number of skilled workers leaving their own sectors and industries and shifting to BPO services (e.g. nurses to call center agents, etc.)
Strategic Response technical proficiency in the industry or field of discipline covered under a particular BPO account and - a functional knowledge on world geography Mainstream an English language proficiency program (with primary focus on conversational and business English in all degree and nondegree programs Strengthen - IT, science, math and business related competencies beneficial for BPO and all other sector-target labor supply in training standards Massive campaigns in universities to improve awareness on BPO sector and job nature, growth prospects and requirements Develop initiatives to improve the curriculum of program of the universities, facilities and faculty training that would result into higher quality of graduates and will raise the number of qualified people in the system BPO Center to include in their pre-employment training a trainers training program with special focus on BPO requirements, and not just English proficiency Work directly with select universities and interested schools in BPO programs making it as part of pre-elective courses to support careers in BPO. In regulated schools, it can only go as far as being an elective. In deregulated schools there is a greater chance of mainstreaming the proposed courses as mandatory Consider working with other industry groups to focus on initiatives for scaling up like: - English Courses: ADEPT - an English Language Proficiency Program can increase the uptake from 6% to 50%; ELITES - an IT Proficiency Program Competencies Assessment: This is critical because most people respond to set standards. It will l provide the industry tools to assess and upgrade needed competencies for people to succeed in BPO business - Certification: E.g COPC Certification - Post Graduate Courses for Middle Managers: They need to have more BPO-trained managers as the workers continues to increase -

2010-2013
Major Issues and Challenges Healthcare Services Sector: Oversupply of nurses caused a shift-up in the tech-voc courses particularly caregivers. Global demands for health workers are high yet the countrys excess labor supply have not taken advantage or maximized the opportunities There is no updated and regular labor demand monitor on health workers Lack of practice areas and venues for exposures for caregivers in the country
Strategic Response Generate honest-to-goodness data for public policy and action. The data on employment and employment prospects for public consumption will help organizations with similar programs. We need to keep watch on demand and supply data, questions of standards, questions of curriculum, and the benchmark criteria that should be used to gauge and address the competitiveness situation of the country. Harmonize curriculum with those of some major foreign schools. This calls for an equivalency system and international benchmarks of what is acceptable. The country does not need to expect all people to attain the highest level of standard if not to be applied in the country. If it has to be in this level, this is what one country needs so people dont waste their time and resources. Have accessible information and advice on local and overseas job and career prospects. The country needs to have centers where students, job-seekers and job-shifters can get information, advice and leads for employment, placement and career development prospects information; where one can ascertain chance to get a foreign job or local job, the likely starting salary, more clearer prospects five years from now, ten years from now. Provide counseling services to graduates with focus on being assertive and hungry for information. Professionalize the whole industry from operators to staff for the whole sector and not for a particular company in terms of the following: - Types o f Travel Agency - Business Management Structure - Free Lance Agents - Personnel (Rank and File) - Management Qualities - Marketing Strategy mapping - Operations front office - Sales - Operations mid-office - Accounting back office (SSS, Pag-ibig, SEC etc.) - Controls - Sample Service fees (for US agents)
Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Services: The sector is still on its data generation and clarifying stage despite years of existence There is huge curriculum mismatch between the industry (hospitality services) and the academe Curriculum updating cannot keep abreast with the fast changing technology Enterprise owners and operators need training on travel and hospitality related businesses Government bureaucracy and political influences are controlling the promotion of tourism potentials
Page 134
2010-2013
Strategic Response - Source of Travel Agency Income Stream Accredit industry practitioners as part-time school lecturers by: - creating measures to make tourism programs more industry attuned. - harmonizing trainers requirements by CHED against PTTA recommendations and TESDA training standards. Encourage documentation of Tourism Benchmarks, Learning and Communication Materials to advocate tourism related programs and tourist attractions Strengthen awareness raising and direct action programs of the sector in relation to divides between HEI and TVET programs and its implication to making ladderization Inculcate among students what a quality sector employee is by incorporating in the curriculum the following:
Service orientation to the customer Eye for detail Should be able to interface and work well with others - Team effort - They have to know the other departments and situate themselves. - The school knows what traits or qualifications they should have, but the refinement should come later on based on feedbacks. Provide cross-cultural learning opportunities to students and to establish international linkages Provide business perspectives and management tools - All students are introduced to hospitality service as a business. - So they are all introduced to principles, processes and models of business - They are given opportunities to apply the business principles in different situations. -
Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry: Agriculture still suffers from low productivity, low economies of scale, and inadequate infrastructure support There is still severe problem on deforestation Fisherfolks still practice destructive fishing methods due to lack f funds, and inadequate government support Agricultural workers still have low impression on organic farming, hence, there is still a huge problem on ecological imbalance
Initiation of dynamic, community-based, and participatory land-use planning processes that identify and mitigate the risks of natural resource degradation and other adverse environmental impacts; Socioeconomic support to improve the capacity of farmers and fisherfolk in poorer areas to manage efficiently their resources through holistic management systems, hand in hand with the equitable distribution of productive resources, access to capital, and employment opportunities;
Page 135
2010-2013
Strategic Response Greater investment in human capital and rural infrastructure, including the improved use of information and communication technology, and training and empowering municipal agricultural workers to work with farmers and fisherfolk in applying environmentally sound production methods; and Continue assessment, monitoring, and evaluation of environmental impacts in all segments of the food production chain through information management, decision-support systems, indicators of sustainability, and geographic referencing of information (especially by linking agro-ecological zone characteristics to district and national planning units.) Massive promotion among farmers the use of organic farming and environment-friendly technologies and cultural practices as means of sustaining ecological balance and enhancing productivity Design and register a training curriculum for retail training for frontliners ready for local and overseas deployment To open doors to OJT, establish apprentice and intern arrangements for to flexibly incorporate students to retail exposures, practice and knowledge base; coordinate with industry as to right timing for accepting OJTs etc. Government to issue competency based certification for trained retail shop managers, workers and students (OJT, intern, apprentice) recognizable here and elsewhere outside the country.
Trade (Wholesale and Retailing): There is increasing influx of reatiling business due to franchising, critical retail jobs do not necessary require training despite need to professionalize the business To respond demands for frontliners abroad, there is a need for training and retraining or retail owners/managers/operators and retail workers There is no school in the country offering retail courses, hiring companies and firms usually do the training for assimilation into the workplace
Provincial TESD Investment Plan
ESDA Lanao del Norte Provincial Office implementation strategy is still anchored on the TESDA implementing strategy frame a Pro-active Job Matching Process where TESDA has adapted the SEEK-FIND-TRAIN (SFT) strategy in aid to of its implementation of its social and economic functions. Briefly, the SFT Strategy is done through the following: SEEK (jobs) through generation of domestic and international market intelligence report to pinpoint specific job requirements. FIND (people) the right people who can be trained to fit the jobs in partnership with NGOs, social welfare agencies / institutions, school and community organizations.
Page 136
2010-2013
TRAIN (people) using standards of quality for TVET developed in consultation with various industry sectors. This pro-active matching process contributes to the best job-skills fit. TESDA also focuses on increasing productivity of implemented training programs by assisting individuals or groups who prefer to go into micro business, small and medium enterprises or entrepreneurship training. It is also through the SFT Strategy that the Provincial Investment Plan will revolve, while taking into consideration the provinces responses to its recurring and most prevalent development issues and strategies. The Provincial TESD Investment Plan takes into account the Provinces development goals, objectives and targets identified to address the development issues discussed in the previous chapters and sections. These goals are translated into specific objectives and targets and corresponding strategies and programs, projects, activities outlined in matrices shown in succeeding pages. Based on the Provinces socio-economic investment plan, corresponding TESD-related interventions are identified and imbedded into the Investment Plan for consideration by the various players and stakeholders.
Spatial Development Strategy of Lanao Del Norte15

The preferred spatial development strategies adopted by the Province of Lanao del Norte served as the foundation for all other socio-economic development undertakings, of which corresponding TESD interventions are also drawn upon to wit: a) two growth center development strategy, b) coastal corridor development strategy, and c) coastal-interior loop agri-industrial development strategy. A. Two-Growth Center Development Strategy. The two-growth center development strategy shall develop two main nodes of development, each one with specific role and function. The two centers are: (1) Metro Iligan Regional Agri-industrial Center (MIRAIC) town of Linamon, and (2) capital town of Tubod growth center. The MIRAIC shall serve as processing center for agricultural products from Lanao del Norte and its adjacent provinces. About 416 hectares shall be developed for this purpose, to start with the 77.89 hectares owned by the provincial government. The provincial government shall initially establish industry locators to cater to demands for alternative fuel and processing requirements for the provinces main products such as coconut, corn and banana. On the other hand, the capital town of Tubod, being host to the world class Mindanao Civic Center (MCC), shall be further developed as the sports capital of Mindanao and an alternative venue for national and international sports events. The concentration of specialized activities in these two growth centers is designed to propel economic activities in its environs. B. Coastal-Corridor Development Strategy Considering that Iligan City and the coastal towns from Linamon to Kapatagan are institutional centers, as well as, centers of trade and commerce, their roles as such shall be reinforced by
15
As reflected in the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2007-2020
Page 137
2010-2013
enhancing support systems in terms of access roads, telecommunications infrastructure and one-stop shop investment promotion centers, among others. This complements and enhances the roles of the aforementioned two growth centers which are both with the coastal corridor. Specifically, the coastal-corridor passes through Iligan City and the nine municipalities going west: Linamon, Kauswagan, Bacolod, Maigo, Kolambugan, Tubod, Baroy, Lala and Kapatagan. This is practically, the Lanao del Norte side of the Cagayan-Iligan Industrial Corridor.
C. Coastal-Interior Loop Agri-industrial Development Strategy The coastal-interior loop (CIL) agri-industrial development strategy shall be adopted to integrate the interior municipalities and hinterland barangays to the coastal corridor and the growth centers the former being the main suppliers of raw materials. This strategy shall follow the concept of an integrated area development (IAD) within the six identified development loops which are as follows: 1. CIL 1: Agri-Industrial Zone (:Iligan City-Mandulog District-Tagoloan-BaloiMatungao-Linamon 2. CIL 2: Agro-forest Production Zone: Kauswagan- Poona Piagapo Pantao RagatBaloi-Pantar 3. CIL 3: Industrial Crops Production Zone: Bacolod-Munai-Maigo 4. CIL 4: High Value Commercial Crops Production Zone: Kolambugan-TangkalMagsaysay-Tubod 6. CIL 5: Rice Valley: Baroy-Salvador-Lala-Kapatagan 7. CIL 6: Halal Processing Zone: Kapatagan-Sapad-Nunungan Sultan Naga Dimaporo The road network connecting the municipalities within the loop shall be a major intervention alongside agricultural production.
Inter-Provincial Linkages
Alongside with the provinces its internal spatial strategies, is the strengthening of its external linkages to promote investments, trade and commerce, viz: A. Iligan-Lanao del Norte-Lanao del Sur Cultural Growth Triangle This is consistent and supportive of the regions intra-regional and inter-regional cooperation and cooperation as articulated in Northern Mindanaos Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP), 2004-2030. Lanao del Nortes PDPFP shall initiate projects for the realization of this growth area. It serves as a venue for forging sustainable peace and cultural tourism in Lanao del Norte with Iligan City and Lanao del Sur. B. Iligan-Lanao del Norte-Bukidnon Growth Area With Bukidnon being designated as a food basket for the region, strengthening trade linkages with Bukidnon is an added opportunity for more economic activities favorable to both provinces. The proposed opening of Tagoloan (Lanao del Norte) -Talakag (Bukidnon) road shall pave the way to develop this growth area.
Page 138
2010-2013
C. Panguil Bay Development Area Panguil Bay is a shared resource of the provinces of Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental and Zamboanga del Sur. A comprehensive and integrated development approach to Panguil Bay harmonizes the efforts of stakeholders for the protection and conservation of the marine resources in Panguil Bay.
Responses to the Provinces Priority Industries Needs

Lanao del Nortes economic strength is in agriculture/fishery/forestry having the highest location quotient of 6.70. This means that the province is producing more than it requires of the province and thus these industries can be export-oriented.

Chapter 7 PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Overall Plan Implementation Scheme
his Chapter discusses the mechanisms, structure and systems that shall be put in place to ensure implementation of the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (PTESDP). It is organized into several subsections where the implementation procedures shall follow, to wit: 1) plan review, adoption and approval process, 2) plan advocacy, 3) institutional arrangement, and 4) financing schemes. Specific actions and activities leading to the operationalization of this Provincial TESD Plan covering the period 2010-2013 will commence upon the approval and adoption of this document by the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (PTESDC) and upon adoption as blue print for TESD interventions by the Provincial Development Council (PDC) of the Province of Lanao del Norte. The coordination of the technical education and skills development (TESD) programs and strategic interventions will be through the PTESDC while the specific activities will be synchronized with the local City/Municipal TESD Committees and the local development councils in the province per Section 19 of TESDA Act of 1994. TESDA-Lanao del Norte, as the Secretariat will exercise its overarching role in TESD coordination as explicitly expressed in Section 25 of TESDA Act of 1994 which says, Inorder to integrate the national skills development effort, all technical education and skills training schemes as provided for in this Act shall be coordinated with the Authority particularly those having to do with the setting of skills standards. For this purpose, existing technical education and skills training programs in the Government and in the private sector, specifically those wholly or partly financed with government funds, shall be reported to the Authority which shall assess and evaluate such programs to ensure their efficacy and effectiveness. Similarly, the implementation of this Plan will be guided by the policy directions stipulated in Chapter 2, as well as the development thrusts and strategies indicated in Chapter 6 of this Plan. However, the main approach in making this Plan workable for all stakeholders is for the TESDA Corporate Personnel to converge and partner with the various sectoral and institutional players of human resource development.
Plan Review, Approval and Adoption Process The formulation and implementation of the PTESDP 2010-2013 is an initial attempt to connect socio-economic and TESD approach of planning at the provincial level. Through Section 21 of the TESDA Act of 1994 (RA 7796), the formulation of the Plan is mandated from the national down to the provincial level where it endeavors to mainstream in the Provinces Provincial
Page 156
2010-2013
Development and Framework Plan during the cyclical provincial planning and development process. It should synergize with the Local Chief Executives development agenda as the technical education and Skills development (TESD) approach of interventions.
Once the Plan is completed, the initial draft of the Plan should undergo a review and enhancement by the sectoral champions particularly the members of the PTESD committee. When there is a need, the sectoral committees of the Provincial Development Council (PDC) maybe convened to revisit a particular section of the Plan in accordance to the mandate of the sector. The PTESDC will then approve the Plan, and endorse to the Provincial Development Council for adoption. This will serve as the blue print of the Council for TESD-related interventions since both the Provinces socio-economic and physical development approaches are synergized with TESD interventions in the Plan. A PDC resolutions will be needed to support the Plans integration into the Provinces development thrusts and interventions. This will give teeth to the Plan. The Plan maybe subjected to another endorsement for its subsequent replication at the City/Municipal level and adoption by the Sanggunaing Panlalawigan.
Plan Advocacy The general purpose of PTESD Plan advocacy is to generate broad-based support towards its implementation. Specifically, the advocacy activities seek to attain the following: communicate to stakeholders the contents and intentions of the Plan; generate stakeholder feedbacks on the implementation details which should be taken into consideration on the ground, and form support groups to assist in specific areas of concern. An advocacy plan for this purpose will be formulated with the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (PTESDC) and the TESDA-LDN Social Marketing and Advocacy (SMA) focal person taking the lead role. Important elements of the Plan will be featured in the quarterly monitor published by the TESDA- Provincial Office. The existing structures at the provincial level will be considered as mechanisms to advocate the adoption and implementation of the Plan. For the TESDA-regulated institutions, TVIs and other players that have stake in TESDAs existing programs and services will have to adhere the policies and strategies stipulated in the Plan, such as consideration of the Provincial Skills Priorities in terms of program offering, etc. As a support mechanism to the Provinces development agenda, it will rely solely on the efforts of the PTESDC to advocate the Plan to all sectors that have stakes in Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The move to replicate the TESDCs at the City/Municipal Level, as well as tapping of existing TVET partners (CTECs, TVI Association, Experts Panel, etc.) shall be the major approach in promoting and
Page 157
2010-2013
harmonizing efforts for implementing the Plan from provincial down to the barangay levels. Likewise, the Plan will also be presented to the different local special bodies and local leagues.
Institutional Arrangement
he effective implementation of the PTESD Plan can be futile if TESDA-Lanao del Norte will be left alone to carry out the tasks. As manager of the TVET Sector, the task of managing training and development interventions is enormous and multifaceted, the reason why TESDA is promoting partnership and convergent approaches in the delivery of its mandates. This limitation is also compounded by the scarcity of management resources, such as manpower, money and machine. Hence, to address the major constraining factor, which is budgetary in nature, there is a need to come up with a strong and vigorous partnership with various stakeholders. With this situation, a self-reliant approach through social mobilization and linkaging with the rest of the TVET stakeholders becomes a practical solution. Hence, an institutional arrangement will keep the Plan moving for the rest of the planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation periods.
Coordination with LGUs, NLAs and NGOs is of paramount importance. They are considered as co-plan implementers. While TESDA is the prime mover, regulator, enabler, manager and promoter of TVET in the country, the LGUs will be tapped as the principal implementers of the identified priority skills training interventions and other TESD programs and projects in their respective jurisdictions. These will be in terms of financial resource requirements and the identification of the priority trainers for specific skills. 16 Initiating the preparation of Provincial/Municipal Budget Proposal for TESD Programs of the Province will reinforce this through the strengthening and empowerment of the PTESDCs as active TESD Arm of the Provincial Development Council as well as replication of the TESDCs at the City/Municipal levels. The CTECs and other partners will be assisted by the TESDA Provincial Office in terms of capability building so they may become effective intermediaries at the local levels particularly on Sector Monitoring. The role of the National Government Agencies, the Non-Government Organizations, and the industries whose programs and projects dovetail the Provincial TESD Plan shall be brought into play in terms of technical services, conduct and financing of the priority skills training interventions. These should be augmented and complemented by the LGUs (Provincial and City/Municipal) local budgets once the Plan is integrated into their local development process. The following are critical actions to be considered inorder to fast track the adoption and implementation of the Plan at all institutional and sectoral levels in the Province of Lanao del Norte:

1. Expanding and Strengthening Convergence/Linkage with Critical Stakeholders17 As this plan framework only sets the general development thrusts on the TVET sector as it relates to the overall development vision of the country and in the region in particular, giving substance to the plan is left to the provincial and local level where actual implementation takes place. In view of the foregoing, there is a need for provincial/local level planning to address the concerns of the TVET sector at the local level. All the critical stakeholders at the local level including the private sector/TVET institutions and industries should actively participate in this effort. The provincial TESD plans, should among others support the development initiatives at the local level particularly those initiated by the local government units and other cause-oriented groups. With the implementation of the Local Government Code of 1991, the LGUs in coordination with other stakeholders are expected to spearhead to attain the objectives of their development plans, including the plan for the TVET sector. In view of this, TVET plans should be anchored or should be mainstreamed in the development process of the local development units so that funding support will be ensured.
2. Intensifying Social Marketing Advocacy (SMA) Activities Following a highly participatory approach in planning during the Plan Formulation, the adoption of the Plan needs a multi-sectoral acceptance, hence a strong Social Marketing and Advocacy Activities (SMA) at the Provincial down to the barangay levels is highly necessary. SMA activities will focus on the following: Presentation of the Plan by the PTESDC (as TESD advocates) to the Provincial Government via the Provincial Development Council up to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Replication of the Provincial TESD Committee at the City/Municipal Development level and organizing the same into City/Municipal TESD Council to serve as TVET Policy Making Body at the local levels and as an advocacy machinery Presentation/Briefing of the highlights of the Plan via Industry Fora, TVI Association Meetings and Inter-agency/Multi-sectoral meetings and conventions at the Provincial Levels Discussion on the highlights of the Plan in TESDA websites and in meetings of Lanao del Norte Association of Communicators, and other bodies involved in information dissemination such as the PIA, Iligan website, Lanao del Norte Provincial Government Website. Information education campaign (IEC) materials will be prepared such as brochures, flyers and audio-visual presentation of the plan. Executive summary of the plan will also be published in the existing newsletter of TESDA schools and publications of TESDA 18 Provincial Office

Utilization of existing organizations and associations as venues for discussion of the contents of the plan and to determine their role/share in the plan implementation. These will include the following19: 1. PTESDCs 2. Industry Boards 3. TVET Associations 4. Workers' Guilds 5. PTEPs 6. PCACs 7. Provincial Development Council and its Social Development Committee 8. League of Mayors 9. League of Councilors 10. CTEC Association 11. Provincial Development Councils 12. Provincial SMEDCouncils and other Local Level Organizations 3. Establishing and Strengthening Linkages with Members of the Legislature20 To ensure funding of special projects which are deemed necessary but not covered under the agency WFP, there is a need to reach out or build-up linkages with the legislators in their respective area of jurisdiction. Initiatives in fund sourcing should be intensified particularly in drawing support from congressional representatives. In order to sustain or strengthen relationship with the legislators, regular reporting/updating of the TVET situation in the area should be regularly done so that whatever concerns and issues relating to TVET will be facilitated or be given funding support/subsidy.
4. Capability-Building Programs of TESDA and Its Partners21 In view of the mandate of TESDA which has the Authority role in the TVET sector, there is a need to strengthen the capabilities of the TESDA corporate and institutional staff. On the other hand, with the full implementation of the Local Government Code, it is imperative for TESDA to beef up the capabilities of the LGUs as TESDA's partners or in the long run will assume as the direct providers of TVET services as TESDA assumes its Authority Role as Regulator, Enabler, Manager and Promoter which will focus in direction setting, monitoring, certification and setting of standards in the TVET sector.

Fund requirements and Sourcing Approaches
here is no specific amount required to carry out all the identified programs and projects in the Plan as there is still a need to come up with an investment Plan by LGU and institutional levels on an annual basis. This will be generated only once concerned institutions and organizations frame up their Annual Investment Programs from this Plan. Basing on the magnanimous development objectives identified by the Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte, there is a need for the Local Finance Committee to incorporate in their strategic financial plan the resources and resource mobilization approaches to finance the TESD-related programs and projects identified in the Plan. An investment and donors forum shall be undertaken for the sector with more urgent needs. The bulk of this investment requirement will be directed to pursue strategies and programs intended to address the need for more efficient and effective management of the whole subsector and the need to upgrade the quality and raise the productivity of the middle-level manpower in the Province and ultimately match with the demands of the global and local job markets. The TESDA-Lanao del Norte Provincial Office, on the other hand will need to exhaust its annual budget to coordinate and facilitate implementation, monitoring and evaluation of strategies and must-do programs, projects, and activities stipulated in the Plan which will be translated into workable Annual Work and Financial Plans. However, despite TESDAs regular annual budget, there is still a need to source out funds to support the thrusts and priorities of the TVET sector considering the government's meager resources. Thus, the following activities must be undertaken: d. Budget session among Local Finance Committees at the LGUs maximizing their Training and Livelihood Funds as approved by their Sangguniang Bayan Members e. "Pledging session" among the TVET stakeholders to finalize commitments and support on the program interventions; f. Encourage capability-building programs on Project Proposal Writing and Feasibility Preparation and packaging as basis to generate funds either for local and foreign funding particularly for special development programs not covered by local budgets

Chapter 8 PLAN MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Monitoring and Evaluation Logical Framework
egular and periodic monitoring of the plan will be conducted to thresh out concerns and problems in plan implementation. The findings and results of monitoring will be used as bases in the plan updating activities.
The implementation of the Plan by the Authority will be monitored through the usual Agency Monitoring System where the annual provincial accomplishment reports are reflected based on Key Result Areas. This Monitoring System will identify indicators of performance by all sectors involved in TVET implementation, particularly those reflected in the Agencys Work and Financial Plan. For other TESD programs not captured in the Work and Financial Plan, separate tools and instruments will be designed to capture the outcome and impacts of the development interventions. Below is a relationship framework of the Plans Monitoring and Evaluation System which revolves into three major components, namely: the Key Performance Indicators, the Tools and Instruments, and the Monitoring Structure.
A. Key or Performance Indicators/Statistics TESD Beneficiaries TESD Programs TESD Providers TVET Priorities vis--vis Partnership and Linkages B. Tools and/or Instruments Sector Monitoring System TESDA Monet Forms Web-based Monitoring System Other Monitoring System as designed/required by other Stakeholders
C. Monitoring Structure TESDA Provincial Office and PTESDC TESDA Regional TESDC and the Regional Office Inter-agency Monitoring Team
The Plan will be monitored and evaluated in terms of the following: 1) its impact to the target beneficiaries, 2) status of performance of its implemented priority programs and projects, 3) impact of the programs to the TVET Providers, and 4) TVET Priorities vis--vis the status of TVET partnership and linkages that help in the implementation of the PTESD Plan. To determine all the needed information on the above-stated, monitoring tools and instruments will be employed, such that, TESDAs existing Sector Monitoring System; promotion, adaptation and adoption of TESDA Monet Forms prescribed by the Regional Coordinating Office of TESDA Central Office; the web-based Monitoring System of TESDA; and other Monitoring tools designed and prescribed by TVET Partners will be employed to monitor and gauge the performance of the TVET Sector in the Province.
Page 163
2010-2013
Institutions and bodies tasked to do the monitoring and evaluation shall foremost of all be the TESDA Provincial Office since it its mandate to coordinate all skills training and development interventions in the country. This should be in partnership with the Provincial Technical Education and Skills Development Committee (together with its replicates at the city/municipal levels) as mandated in Section 19 of TESDA Act of 1994 (RA 7796). The TESDA Regional Office shall likewise monitor the Plan implementation using the prescribed Tools and Instruments which shall be the one to facilitate submission of TVET Sector Performance to the Central Office. On the other hand, for development interventions that involved TESD-related approaches, partner agencies or institutions prescribed M & E tools and instruments shall be adopted of which TESDA will translate said performance outputs into its prescribed Monet forms.

Sector Monitoring System 22

The sector monitoring is a manual processing which uses several monitoring forms coded like MIS 01, MIS 02, MIS 03, and MIS 04 depending on the type of information and data needed. It needs a careful input and processing of data by the user to provide reliable information. The sector monitoring system is designed to generate periodic updates on enrolment, graduates and other related information on TESD. This will cover public and private institution providing TESD programs at the national, regional, provincial, local and municipal levels. Public institutions include tech-voc schools, TESDA Technology Institutes, LGU-based training centers, and national government agencies with skills training mandate or functions: state universities and colleges (SUCs), higher education institutions (HEIs), and community colleges that offer nondegree courses. Private institutions include TVIs (private HEIs with non-degree courses), NGOs/foundations with training centers or offering TVET and entrepreneurship programs. The sector monitoring is intended to generate periodic information on the performance of the TESD providers/institutions. It also generates information on status of implementation of programs and projects identified in the PTESDP as anchored on the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (NTESDP). It also aims to generate information as to the type of sectors the skills training are conducted (e.g, agri-fishery, tourism, food & beverage, etc), the duration of the training, training costs, number of hours and age level of the trainees.
TESDA Monitoring Network (Monet)

The TESDA Monitoring Network or TESDA Monet is a web-based monitoring report system officially used by TESDA Offices and Operating Units lodged at the Management Information System (MIS) Units. The official data and reports on program accomplishments are sourced out from only those submitted through the TESDA Monet which will form part of the Agencys performance assessment. The TESDA Monet also makes use of the prescribed templates in generating the needed inputs for the database system. Forms and templates are coded per type of data such as MIS 02-01 for Competency Assessment and Certification (CAC), MIS 03-02 for Massive Training Reports, etc. The use of on-line monitoring system will enable the focal persons to have more time in gathering the data in the field and reduce the cycle time of processing the reports. The regional and provincial level can now function as a supervisory body to the TVET providers. Through the use of on-line monitoring system, it can provide timely reports and information for management decision making. However, there are data and information vital for the assessment of this Plan that cannot be captured by the TESDA Monitoring System. Hence, forms will be designed and customized according to types of development interventions to be monitored and evaluated. Most evaluative information such as changes in the behavior of people in the community as a result of TESD
22

2010-2013
intervention, impact of TESD programs on the lives of the beneficiaries, and other developmental and qualitative information may adopt several types of survey forms as follows:
Visitors Survey
The primary goal of the visitors survey is to gain feedback from visitors to be utilized to improve and adjust the programs being implemented by the stakeholders as necessary. The collected data should be a useful means of having a periodic update on the condition of the planning environment and progress on its activities. They mixes both quantitative and qualitative questions.23 It is comprised of six main categories: education, nutrition, water and sanitation, infrastructure, community engagement, and other, which asks for the visitors general impression and recommendations that they may have on the planning environment. The surveys primary strength is that it is a straightforward, yet comprehensive survey, which only takes a short amount of time to complete. Another pointperhaps not a weakness per seto keep in mind is that the great majority of the survey is based on personal impressions. While these impressions are indeed valuable information, at the same time, one must not forget that impressionsgood or badcan largely differ depending on factors such as country of origin, duration of stay, even weather, among others. It could thus make them potentially less effective as a basis from which to make improvements on the activities, or operation of the planning environment.
Household Survey
Due to time constraints in the field, the stakeholders may need a rapid appraisal technique that would be comprehensive enough to assess the clients backgrounds, to gauge what their needs are and whether they are being met. As such, the evaluators may opt to develop a brief household survey that would cover a few main question areas such as: community services, hygiene, general household information, income, educational background, health, and diet. The goal is to make the questions as clear and simple as possible so that they could be easily translated into the dialect, and readily coded and analyzed. The household survey serves two main purposes. First, it serves as a baseline data collection tool and second, it provides a clear and consultative way to assess the general needs of the community. Once compiled, this information will be used to modify current programming and develop future programming. In addition, it will serve as a beginning point from which to measure changes over time in order to assess whether the communities are doing better than they were before. This will be possible by developing follow-up surveys based on the same areas of questioning, administering them at set periods in the future, and analyzing the data over time. Through this, it will be helpful to know the progression of improvements in the beneficiaries quality of life over time. This information will also prove useful for securing future funding. Also, should the stakeholders seek to expand their reach into other geographic areas, it could modify the household survey to the new local contexts and use it as a baseline tool in conjunction with the follow-up surveys that would be developed afterwards.

Quantitative here refers to questions with answers that have been coded, hence making them easily quantifiable.
