Globe helps TESDA go digital

Globe has forged a partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to provide the agency with internet communication support as well as substantial knowledge of digital citizenship and cybersafety through online training.

“The assistance that will be given to us will help our inspectorate committee in ensuring TESDA is well-functioning, and be on the lookout for corruption. Globe will also help us in digitization of our online courses and help improve our e-Learning courses,” said Isidro Lapeña, director general of TESDA.

“Our partnership with TESDA goes beyond connectivity support. It is about working together to help build a responsible digital nation. We’re extending support to digitize TESDA courses and learning modules. This includes digital literacy and online responsibility. We are also extending communication support to increase awareness and usage of the 911TESDA platform,” said Miguel Bermundo, head of citizenship & advocacy marketing in Globe.

Part of the partnership is TESDA’s recognition of Globe’s Digital Thumbprint Program (DTP) which promotes responsible online citizenship through free workshops for students and trainors. The modules involve taking a careful look at one’s online behavior and helping develop insights on how the online world can influence decision making.

Globe also provides TESDA with prepaid load credits that will be used in conducting a phone brigade for TESDA to verify attendees listed in its database. The mission is expected to be call-intensive so the communication support from Globe is expected to make TESDA’s investigation more efficient.
