Welcome to TESDA Region 1.

Our TESDA Region 1 website is an attempt to touch base with our numerous and varied stakeholders, customers and beneficiaries. It isour link to them for a better service delivery.

The various information contained herein will, hopefully, give inputs to sound decision making on policy formation, technical education and training investments, skills development planning as well as guides in the management of skills development programs.

We shall be constantly updating the website for we believe that this technical facility should be relevant and responsive. We believe that it would be useless if it is laded with stale and inutile information.

Our challenge therefore is to have this website useful to everybody who has the yen to learn.

Thank you.

          
                                                                  - Dir. WASHINGTON M. AGUSTIN

Ragucos (second from right) and provincial directors for the prompt and early compliance of TESDA I to the provisions of RA 9485 otherwise known as Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007. TESDA is one of the first NGAs in the region to have responded to the call for efficient public governance by eliminating red tape among its ranks.
