THE IMPORTANCE OF TLE

ALICIA G. RUBIO

Technology and Livelihood Education or TLE is vital to becoming a productive member of the modern workforce. Choosing a career path, and then learning the technology and livelihood skills related to that field or industry, can be an excellent way to improve the chances of succeeding in a career endeavor.

In today’s K to 12 Curriculum, TLE has been given added focus on the education process---particularly techvoc tracks.

Technology and Livelihood Education training is simply another term for career training. In order to pursue livelihood training, a student must have some idea of the general career path they want to take. For example, a person may love to cook and bake, so they will attend a culinary school to learn the art of making gourmet meals and desserts. In time, they may decide to become a pastry chef, rather than a regular chef who prepares entrees, appetizers and so on.

In any case, beginning on a career path by attending a school that teaches skills that relate to a particular industry of field is an excellent way to receive the best livelihood training.

On another aspect, especially in this millennial age, technology is easy to learn, even for people in their later decades. In most cases, technology can even make livelihood training simpler, since using computers, recorders, gadgets and cell phones may help to get more information about livelihood training in a shorter period of time.

Technology and Livelihood Education in the global community as a subject allows students to gain knowledge and develop their skills that will transform their lives toward productive ends.

In TLE, they can maintain their skills in doing some chores like developing responsible parenthood to have a happy family relationship. It also includes developing skills in cooking and in poultry, meat and fish cookery.

This subject is important because it can help students to be more skillful in many ways and these things can help them in life in the near future. --oOo-The author is Teacher III at Justino Sevilla High School, Arayat, Pampanga
