Technical, Educational, Vocational and Entrepreneurial Center

The TEVEC is conceived as the Technical and Vocational Training (TVET) unit of the university under the Office of Community Engagement and Service-Learning, offering technical and vocational training programs for Filipino youth from low socioeconomic status to develop “skills for work and life” (UNESCO, 2022).

TEVEC adopts UNICEF’s definition of TVET “vocational education is defined as educational programs designed for learners to acquire the knowledge, skills, and competencies specific to a particular occupation, trade, or class of occupations or trades. Such programs may have work-based components (e.g., apprenticeships and dual-system education programs). Successful completion of such programs leads to labor market-relevant vocational qualifications acknowledged as occupationally-oriented by the relevant national authorities and the labor market”.

TEVEC closely works with Technical Education and Skills Development Authority.
