In a move to institutionalize private sector participation in Technical Vocational Education &
Training (TVET), the Cebu Chamber of Commerce & Industry (CCCI) and AFOS Foundation have
developed the Chamber Assessment, Certification & Accreditation System (ACAS) for Dual
Training with support from the K to 12 Plus partner organizations, Philippine Chamber of
Commerce & Industry (PCCI) and the German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce & Industry
(GPCCI). The comprehensive ACAS shall cover a wide range of services which are meant to be
offered by the local chambers of commerce (LC) to ensure that dual training graduates indeed
meet the needs and skills requirements of Industry. Continued on Page 2

Industry-led TVET … Continued from Page 1 The implementation of ACAS calls for the creation of a unit in the LC’s management structure that shall see to the extension of required services to member companies and industry at large. The ACAS Unit will be responsible for doing the following: 1. Coordinate the existing TVET clusters composed of industry associations and their members, tech-voc institutions and senior high schools; 2. Plan, Initiate and facilitate the
creation of new TVET clusters as needed; 3. Facilitate the curriculum review
and development process; 4. Develop a pool of Master
Trainers; 5. Organize In-Company Trainers‘
(In-CT) Training; 6. Accredit participating
companies and In-CT; 7. Organize and facilitate the
Assessment & Certification of dual training graduates; 8. Maintain databases of certified graduates, participating companies and In-Company Trainers.
As the umbrella organization for
LCs, the PCCI shall be responsible
for quality control and national
coordination of the ACAS.
Business Plan
The CCCI will be piloting the
implementation of ACAS during
the 2nd Phase of the K to 12 Plus
project, which starts in October
2016. In preparation for this, the
Cebu Team has engaged the
services of a Local Expert to assist
them in developing a Business
Plan. This July 11-14, the
consultant conducted Key
Informant Interviews among
industry associations, CCCI
member companies, K to 12 Plus
pilot students and In-Company
Trainers. The interviews were
done to determine the
acceptability of an industry-led
certification system for the bundle
of skills acquired through dual
training, as well as to gather the
interviewees’ insights on the
proposed ACAS. The interviews
indicated that the ACAS is a
welcome development to
industry, schools and training
institutions alike.
Finally, on August 25, the ACAS
Business Plan was presented to
the CCCI Board of Trustees and
Management staff and to the
AFOS Project Management Team.
The Business Plan will serve as a
guide to the team in the piloting
and implementation of the ACAS.
The success of the pilot will
provide a model to other local
chambers.

Pilot Students in Construction & Tourism Achieve NC II Certification
As part of the requirements for their graduation from Senior High School, 50 pilot students of the Tourism Cluster and 18 from the Construction Cluster recently went through the TESDA Assessment and Certification process for National Certification (NC) II in Housekeeping and Tilesetting respectively.
The assessment of the Tourism students was conducted in batches of 20 and was completed by September 8, 2016. All 50 students who underwent the process were adjudged as competent in Housekeeping NC II and are, therefore, qualified to receive the national certification from TESDA.
The students are subsequently expected to be deployed to various hotels and resorts in and around Cebu City for their on-the-job training. The participating companies are all members of the Hotel, Resort & Restaurant Association of Cebu (HRRAC).
The Construction pilot students, on the other hand, went through the assessment process on August 29, 2016 with TESDA Examiner Sergio Barlizo. The venue of the assessment was the PSEFI-SKILLS campus.
Eighteen (18) out of twenty (20) students were present during the assessment and performed the necessary competencies required in the said qualification. All of them took the written examination, oral interview and skills demonstration. The core competencies that the students demonstrated were: basic tile setting work, tile laying and repair of floor and wall tiles, tile corners as well as tile curved surfaces.
Prior to their assessment, the students underwent industry immersion on tile-setting from July 7 to 31. Participating companies were Primary Structures Corporation and PLD Construction. They were supervised by In-Company
Trainers : Engr. Aileen Agravante of PLD and Engr. Phoebe Ortega of PSC. PSEFI-SKILLS Industry Coordinator Teddy Taray provided oversight for the entire deployment process.
These recent Assessment & Certification sessions are the third to be undergone by both Tourism and Construction Students. Prior to this, the Tourism students garnered National Certifications in Food & Beverage Service and Cookery. Earlier, the Construction students achieved NC II certifications in Carpentry and Masonry, as well.
Prior to their graduation in March 2017, the students of both clusters would have gained 4 NCs from TESDA. This completes the requirements under the Sr. High School, Technology & Livelihood Track. The competitive edge of the K to 12 Plus graduates will be the fact that their training was delivered through the Dualized approach.

Workshop on the “Plus Element” Conducted
The Plus Element in the K to 12 Plus Project aims to impart advanced skills to the Senior High School graduates of the 3 TVET Clusters’ pilot classes. It is a course designed to enhance and/or compliment a trainee’s existing set of knowledge and skills to further improve his job profile. The trainee profile contains the competencies that enable him/her to effectively and efficiently complete his/her tasks and produce quality outputs/ services.
In line with the Project’s industry-led approach, CCCI and AFOS organized the first Plus Workshop, with company representatives, partner tech-voc institutions and
industry associations in the Tourism, Construction and Food Manufacturing sectors.
It was evident in the group discussions that “soft skills” are a vital consideration for industry when selecting their employees. The company representatives were one in saying that the identified soft skills must be integrated into the technical training.
While it was relatively easy for the Construction and Food Manufacturing clusters to identify the specific advanced skills they required for their Job Profiles, the Tourism Cluster needs further sessions to establish the clear
direction for the enhancement of the Hotel & Restaurant Service Professional profile.
Cluster-specific workshops are scheduled in October to finalize the courses. The coming workshops will determine the training objectives, the learning outcomes and the course design employing the dual training format as this will be the focus of the second phase.
Active Industry participation in all phases of curriculum design or enhancement to ensure that the pilot classes produce work-ready graduates with skills that fit the requirements of the companies in each of the industry sectors covered.

ISTE on Agriculture Visits Dalaguete Farmers
On July 11-12 2016, ISTE in Agriculture, Dr. Rudolf Holtkamp through the facilitation of the K to 12 Plus Project and OURFood explored the potentials of offering dualized training in agriculture for the 2nd phase of the K to 12 Plus project.
Dr. Holtkamp together with the AFOS team met with Dr. Juanita Pinote, Campus Director of Cebu Technological University (CTU-Argao) to gather information on the school’s course offerings in Agriculture. He also inquired about the graduates, prospects for employment, on the job trainings and the number of enrollees in agriculture in the campus.
After meeting the CTU campus director, the group visited the farms in Dalaguete, Cebu where they met with the Dalaguete Vegetable Grower’s Association (DAVEGA) farmers and its president Mr. Reynaldo Lee. Farm visits were also done in the various farms of DAVEGA members. Dr. Holtkamp made a random interview of the farmers inquiring of their income, knowledge and skills, skills upgrading needs and the implementation of Philippine Good Agricultural Practice (PhilGAP) identifying the challenges and opportunities that comes with it.

DOST & AFOS Prepare to Formalize Partnership
A strengthened cooperation between AFOS and its
partners DOST, CCCI, and ANP together with the
concerned LGUs will be created through a new
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) detailing
enhanced partnerships in the various phases of food
production. The MOA finalization was conducted on
August 26, 2016 at Montebello Villa Hotel in Cebu
City with the attendance of all major AFOS partners.
The long-time cooperative efforts between
DOST and AFOS since its project beginnings in 2009
has borne significant results such as the building up
of 800 farmer-partners and 150 food processor-
partners. With the signing of the new MOU,
OURFood Project Manager Mr. Dietmar Speckmaier
expressed high hopes for more fruitful cooperative
work in food production, food processing and food
safety, as well as in education and training in the
coming project endeavors.
Dr. Anthony Sales, Regional Director of
DOST XI and incoming Undersecretary for Regional
Operations presented the rationale of the
cooperative efforts which primarily focused on: (1)
the global arena pursuing sustainable and inclusive
development with environmental protection and
Science and Technology enablement; and (2)
primary focus on agriculture, health and education.
The SME Development Plan will soon be crafted by
the SME Development Council which is primarily
geared towards promoting SME sustainability.
Thus, the DOST-AFOS cooperation is very timely for
its integration with the SME Development Plan.
The MOA signing is set on October 10,
2016 at Dalaguete, Cebu with the Strategic
Planning exercise to be done the following day in
the same venue. This will enable the DOST
Secretary to visit the various DOST and AFOS agri-
projects in nearby areas in Dalaguete prior to the
signing.

Agriculture Team Engages DSWD-SLP Beneficiaries in Training of GAP and
Organic Agriculture Production
A total of 180 smallholder farmers were funded
and assisted by the Department of Social Welfare
and Development (DSWD) to learn farming
according to the OURFood model. Under the
DSWD’s Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), the
beneficiaries are taught basic vegetable farming
using Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and
Natural and Organic Agriculture farming systems.
There are 4 demonstration farms currently under
establishment to serve as learning sites and hands-
on training centers for the beneficiaries.
For this type of partnership with DSWD, the
OURFood Agri Team needs more members to
conduct the above trainings. There is also a need
to offer new training services to augment the
farmers’ livelihood skills and thus, increase their
income potential. These bundled livelihood skills
could include Agritourism, Landscape Agriculture,
Urban and Container Gardening, Food Processing
and/or Food Service and other skills to create a
sustainable livelihood for the individual farmer
and/or the association.
The ANP-FEDI and DSWD partnership under the
OURFood project was documented through a
memorandum of agreement. In addition, ANP will
find ways to market the fresh produce of the
beneficiaries.

ASA Volunteers & SES Irrigation Expert Team Up for OURFood Farmers
A rare combination of ASA student
volunteers and a Senior Expert teamed
up to help the OURFood farmers in
Dalaguete, Cebu with their irrigation
problem. Dr. Heinz Sourell of
Germany’s Senior Experten Service
(SES) and three young water experts
from the ASA Basis Programme : Berit
Vosskaemper (Environmental
Engineer), Jan Hennigs (Environmental
Engineer) and Ruben Vagt
(Environmental Hydrologist) were
deployed to assist OURFood Farmers in
Dalaguete, Province of Cebu.
The synergy definitely created by the
team up with ASA Volunteers has
helped the DAVEGA farmers
understand their situation when it
comes to water. One of the challenges
that Dr. Sourell wanted for the farmers
to discover is if the ground water they
have in Dalaguete, a true ground water
or simply percolated water from the
rainfall. It has various implications in
the sustainability of the production
system of vegetables. The limitations
in water supply will definitely affect
their planned expansion via the
Unilever purchase of processed bell
pepper. Despite the challenge, farmers
continue to grow vegetables and
learned to optimize water use by the
recommendations suggested by both
the SES and ASA volunteers.
The 3 ASA volunteers also spent the
remaining weeks of their deployment
in the Municipalities of Ayungon and La
Libertad in Negros Oriental to similarly
help the OURFood farmers in these
areas. Their 3-month stay (August 1 to
October 30, 2016) in the Philippines
passed through like a breeze with the many recommendations for
addressing water sanitation, conservation of water sources,
protecting water sources, treatment and sanitation of waste water,
quantification and determination of capacity of water sources and
addressing expansion in crop production with limited water
capacity.
The farmers and the Agri-team will surely miss their presence in
the farms.
