TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

Region II, Carig Norte, Tuguegarao City

FOREWORD

This Annual Report of accomplishments for the Year 2015

presents the major programs and activities that were implemented to

address the growing demand of a huge number of clients from

various sectors of Region II.

The efforts of various operating units in producing the required

outputs in the areas of massive training, competency assessment and

scholarship programs have undoubtedly resulted to employment

facilitation for either wage or self-employment.

The 2015 regional accomplishments are attributed to the active

participation and support of TESD partners from the Local Government

Units, our industry partners, the Regional and Provincial Technical

Education and Skills Development Committee (R/PTESDCs), the organized

Associations of Technical Institutions in the region, other Government

Agencies and Non-government Organizations that have been working

with the different Provincial Offices and TESDA Technology Institutions

in moving to greater heights technical education and skills

development (TESD) in Region II.

For the succeeding year – 2016 we look forward to focus on the

development of higher level qualifications to be able to respond to

more challenges brought about by the ASEAN and global market

demands and the other external factors which require TESD

interventions.

May God Bless Us All.

FELISA A. CARAG, CESO IV

Regional Director
