To help ease the country's unemployment and job mismatch, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), led by Secretary Joel Villanueva, and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) have sealed an understanding for the training of potential workers. The Memorandum of Understanding will promote and expand the reach of technical-vocational training among business chambers, industry and trade associations and individual enterprises. PCCI President Amb. Alfredo Yao signed in behalf of the business organization.

Called the PCCI-TESDA Tech-Voc Project (PTTP), the partnership also aims to encourage individual enterprises to make training spaces in their respective establishments available to the trainees. The parties in the deal also pledged to cooperate by sharing their training facilities, trainers, assessors and training materials.

"With greater industry participation, through the PCCI, in honing the skills of the trainees, the result is a pool of talent armed with the qualifications that the companies need… This is public-private partnership at its best." 

“Sa TESDA, may choice ka.” – SECRETARY JOEL VILLANUEVA
