The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) continues to match the growing market demand for carpenters with a pool of skilled graduates.
From 2011 up to November 15 of this year, a total of 1,553 individuals have enrolled in the Carpentry NC II training in TESDA technology institutes and other private and public technical vocational education and training (TVET) institutions nationwide.
Of this number, 1,197 have already completed their courses.
The training was funded by the agency’s Training for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP) where 1,794 slots worth P13.454 million have been allocated by the government.
“Whenever jobs are available, we match them with our skilled carpenters,” Secretary Joel Villanueva, TESDA Director General, said.
Villanueva added that skilled workers are available for carpentry jobs amid the increasing market demand in the country and abroad.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz recently announced that a study showed that the high demand for carpenters is expected to continue in the next five to 10 years.
She also said that carpenters are needed for the country’s booming construction business, and in industries such as real estate, renting and business activities, public administration and defense, compulsory social security, and in private households.
Baldoz urged the youth in considering getting into the carpentry course, saying it could lead to better employment opportunities.
A Department of Labor and Employment study said that a carpenter in the Philippines earn P450 to P600 per day, depending on the level of his skills.
Carpentry NC II is one of the courses offered by TESDA that will train scholars in performing fabrication and installing and stripping formworks.
Graduates of this course are also expected to learn skills in preparing construction materials and tools; observing procedures, specifications and manuals of instruction; performing mensuration and calculations; maintaining tools and equipment; preparing, staking-out building lines; and installing frameworks.
The course is offered in 42 of TESDA technology institutions and other public and private TVET institutions. It takes a minimum of 120 hours to complete.
Aside from Carpentry, TESDA has also prioritized other construction-related training programs in their list of courses funded under the TWSP. This includes different types of welding, heavy equipment operation, masonry, scaffolding, tile setting, building wiring installation, and construction painting among others.
