Personal na bumisita si TESDA Deputy Director General for Administration and Innovation na si Galo Glino III sa Southern Luzon Technological Colleges Foundation ngayong umaga, Hunyo 16, 2026, upang makipag-ugnayan sa mga iskolar, trainees, learners at iba pang stakeholders.

Kasabay nito, personal niyang sinuri ang mga umuusbong na skills initiatives ng institusyon kabilang ang cybersecurity awareness, paggamit ng drone technology para sa disaster management, artificial intelligence-enabled learning, at iba pang technology-driven workforce development programs na nakabatay sa Provincial Skills Development Plan ng Albay.

Sa mensahe ni TESDA Albay Provincial Director Mariglo Sese, sinabi nito na nagsagawa ang kanilang tanggapan ng malawakang konsultasyon sa mga industriya upang matukoy kung anong mga pagsasanay ang higit na kailangan ng mga Albayanong naghahanap ng trabaho. Aniya, mahalagang matiyak ang kalidad ng pagsasanay upang maging handa ang mga trainee para sa employment opportunities, lalo na sa mga sektor ng turismo, konstruksyon at agrikultura na may malaking pangangailangan sa manggagawa.

Nagpahayag din ng suporta si DTI Bicol Regional Director Dindo Nabol, para sa patuloy na pagtulong sa mga maliliit na negosyo na nangangailangan ng pagsasanay. Binigyang-diin niya ang kahalagahan ng pagtutulungan upang mabawasan ang job mismatch at mapalawak ang oportunidad sa trabaho.
Samantala, ipinahayag ni Albay Governor Noel Rosal ang kanyang buong suporta sa mga programa at serbisyong isinusulong ng TESDA. Ayon sa kanya, bagama’t maraming job fair ang isinasagawa, nananatiling hamon ang hindi pagtutugma ng mga bakanteng trabaho sa kakayahan at kwalipikasyon ng mga aplikante.

Positibo naman ang naging impresyon ni DDG Glino sa mga programang kanyang nasaksihan. Ayon sa kanya, humigit-kumulang 80 porsiyento ng mga nagtapos sa TESDA training programs sa buong bansa ang nagkakaroon ng trabaho dahil sa pagtitiyak ng ahensya na ang bawat iskolar ay nakatatanggap ng de-kalidad na pagsasanay na direktang nakaugnay sa pangangailangan ng industriya at empleyo.
