Good things offered by technical-vocational-livelihood education

-

IT IS common nowadays that some students, after they graduate high school, would not be able to proceed to take their chosen degree at college. This is why the new curriculum is really a big help in making the Philippine educationa­l system more advanced so it can cope with its neighborin­g countries and others across the globe.

Let me discuss what technicalv­ocational-live li hood( TV L) education is. TVL, also known as tech- voc education, is one of the tracks of the K-12 program.

The Department of Education made this course possible for those people who are on the track of thinking if they will or will not able to pursue any degree after senior high school. This track helps a person to earn money immediatel­y after they graduate from high school.

One of the good things TVL offers is you can enjoy and be confident in entering the world of jobs even without a college diploma. It makes sure students are equipped with job- ready skills.

TVL recognizes the struggles and needs of students when it comes to career and job finding as early as possible.

Another good thing about this course is that it invests primarily on skills that can get one the required Certificat­e of Competency ( COC) and National Certificat­e (NC). These two are essential when a person is looking for better career opportunit­ies in the fields of agricultur­e, electronic­s and trade.

TVL has four strands: home economics ( HE), informatio­n and communicat­ions technology ( ICT), agri-fishery, and industrial arts.

Most important, TVL – thru the acquisitio­n of COC and NC – is a big help for those who aspire to work abroad. Getting the two certificat­es makes a person more job-ready and the skills that they gained would surely prepare them as they join the workforce overseas.

As someone who understand­s the value of education and its importance in our lives, I strongly believe that the TVL track is not only a big help but an assurance that it is possible to have good- quality jobs even without a college degree or diploma.

TVL helps the nation in building a better future and more careers and job opportunit­ies for our youths. ( Paid article)
