TESDA (Technical Education And Skills Development Authority)
offers a wide range of courses, all of which are available for free – and the
students can even receive an allowance plus some tools or things that they
might need to practice that particular field.
Many people enroll in TESDA to learn a new skill and possibly
find a better-paying job or start their own business. There are also many who
take TESDA courses to find work abroad.
