Globe makes accessible Tesda’s online skills training program
Industry giant Globe Telecom is offering all subscribers free data to access the government’s online skills training program.
This will allow users to pick up new skills or sharpen their knowledge across a range of areas such as computer systems, housekeeping and entrepreneurship while confined in their homes amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (Tesda) is open to all Globe and TM subscribers.
Users who access the Tesda Online Program (TOP) at https://www.e-tesda.gov.ph/ will not incur data charges.
In the statement, Globe said the program is an educational resource covering a variety of skills.
Free online courses include Computer Systems Servicing National Certificate (NC) II, Food Processing NC II, Bread and Pastry NC II, Housekeeping NC II and other courses from sectors such as automotive, agriculture, entrepreneurship and health care.
“With the uncertainties that we are facing, we need to be prepared to take on new challenges, making it important to continuously learn and explore new ways of doing things,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe chief sustainability officer and senior vice president for communications.
“By making Tesda’s online courses more accessible through free data, our Globe and TM customers will have another opportunity to improve their skills,” she added.
