TESDA
In a statement on Sunday, July 25, the agency said the number was higher by 7,980 compared to the 46,253 assessed applicants in 2020.
Secretary Isidro Lapeña explained that the rise in the number of domestic work assessments this year is being made possible by the accessible services provided by TESDA and the consideration made by the Inter-agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).
During the height of the restricted community quarantine last year, TESDA launched the online registration for assessment for outbound OFWs to ease the process they undertake in-order to start or resume their jobs abroad as quickly as possible.
