THE Technical Education and Skills Development Authority said on Wednesday that it’s on track to meet the target of producing half-a-million graduates for its public-private partnership initiative that gives training to micro-retailers.
“Actually, we already surpassed the mark of more than 300,000 [finishers]. So by the end of this year, we will hit the mark of 500,000,” Aniceto D. Bertiz III, deputy director general for Tesda operations, told reporters in a sideline interview during the mass graduation of 500 iSTAR beneficiaries held at the Tesda Complex in Taguig.
Bertiz is hopeful to reach their goal since the program now caters not only to women but also across all genders and different sectors. In fact, he revealed that around 19,000 of the 20,000 displaced overseas Filipino workers who enrolled to iSTAR last December have already graduated. Apart from its education aspect, each graduate receives an initial capital of P10,000, either in kind or cash basis, for as long as they comply with the requirements. The amount helps start or expand the beneficiary’s existing business. Additional funding will be given to profitable enterprises for further expansion.
