MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines has gone full blast with its preparations for the upcoming WorldSkills Asean Manila 2025 at the World Trade Center and the Philippine Trade Training Center both in Pasay City on scheduled from Aug. 25 to 30.
The biennial WorldSkills ASEAN competition brings together talented youth from across the region to demonstrate their expertise in a wide range of vocational and technical skills and set global benchmarks, while inspiring young people to pursue excellence in their chosen fields.
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) Director-General Kiko Benitez, who heads the interagency task force for the hosting of the event, visited the Filipino competitors during their final training sessions at the Tesda office in Taguig last Aug. 20.
Benitez said in his visit that Tesda's participation in WorldSkills was part of its mandate to ensure that its training was at par with the rest of the world since the event created "specific competency standards in selected or particular skill domains."
The preparations for the event are now in their final stages, covering infrastructure, logistics, competition, equipment, and coordination with ASEAN counterparts.
