The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) signed the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of Republic Act 12063, the Enterprise-Based Education and Training (EBET) Framework Act.
In a statement, the Labor department said that the move aims to enhance skills training, improve worker employability, and bridge the gap between education and industry.
DoLE Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma and TESDA director general Kiko Benitez signed the IRR, which provides guidelines for implementing the EBET Framework Act.
The act seeks to strengthen collaboration between TESDA, enterprises, and technical and vocational education and training institutions to ensure the country’s workforce is equipped with skills aligned with industry demands.
Laguesma commended TESDA, led by Benitez and its board, for the timely crafting and issuance of the IRR, and thanked both houses of Congress for supporting the initiative.
“The prompt issuance of this IRR underscores the urgency and demonstrates the commitment of the Executive branch to work closely with the Legislature in realizing the objectives of the law to provide Filipino workers every opportunity to gain new skills and competencies to meet the demands of the labor market for a well-trained and adaptable workforce,” Laguesma said.
