IPE Global is supporting the TESDA: Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, Philippines, as the Project Management Consultant (PMC) for the Asian Development Fund (ADB)-funded Supporting Innovation in the Philippine Technical and Vocational Education and Training System (SIPTVETS) Project.
The PMC facilitated the first international benchmarking visit to India for 25 TESDA officials under SIPTVETS Project, led by Secretary and DG TESDA Jose Francisco Benitez.
In New Delhi, the delegation held discussions at Kaushal Bhawan with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship on India’s TVET ecosystem, key programs, emerging technologies, and collaboration opportunities. They also interacted with the NIESBUD – National Institute for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development, National Skill Development Corporation, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), and engaged with 6 Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) similar to the project focus areas to exchange knowledge and best practices.
The visit marks an important step toward strengthening a future-ready, innovation-driven TVET system in the Philippines through cross-country learning.
