CAMIGUIN (PIA) — The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Camiguin Provincial Office has launched a series of Training Induction Programs (TIPs) to begin new skills training for aspiring electricians, drivers, and cooks under the Special Training for Employment Program (STEP).
On October 24, the TESDA Camiguin Provincial Office, in partnership with Camiguin Polytechnic State College (CPSC), hosted a TIP at the Camiguin Polytechnic State College (CPSC) campus to mark the start of the Electrical Installation and Maintenance NC II course.
“The TIP welcomed 25 participants who gathered from across the province to embark on their skill-development journey,” said TESDA Camiguin Provincial Director Mohaisen R. Manalao.

In a similar initiative, TESDA Camiguin conducted another TIP on October 14, this time hosted by the Camiguin School of Arts and Trades (CSAT) for the Driving NC II and Cookery NC II programs.
“The TIP welcomed 49 participants—25 for Driving NC II and 24 for Cookery NC II—who gathered from across the province to embark on their skill-development journey,” said Manalao.
The event, held at CSAT, was facilitated by Manalao and Supervising TESD Specialist Amores, along with CSAT’s Vocational School Administrator, Karol Sanggomay P. Ranalan.
