The primary focus of the Training Needs Assessment was to pinpoint specific areas requiring skill enhancements to a diverse cohort of participants, all recipients of the DOLE SQIP initiative. TESDA, a key player in the development and refinement of technical education and skills in the Philippines, collaborated with DOLE to spearhead this initiative. The event emerged as a crucial platform for discerning the precise skill gaps within the DOLE SQIP beneficiaries.

Anna Katrina Guhiting, Administrative Officer of TESDA IX Regional Training Center in Zamboanga City, lent her expertise as the resource speaker, shedding light on the significance of identifying training needs to effectively bridge existing skill gaps. Her insights into administrative matters and training programs brought a valuable perspective to the event.

The participants, enrolled in the SQIP program, actively engaged in discussions, offering valuable input on their training requirements and the challenges faced in their respective fields. The interactive nature of the session facilitated a comprehensive understanding of the diverse skill sets and learning needs within the group.
