Enterprise-Based Training is a TESDA-recognized training delivery modality where technical-vocational skills are developed directly within the workplace, under the supervision of qualified industry practitioners and employers. This approach integrates learning with actual work processes, allowing trainees to acquire practical, industry-relevant competencies in a real production or service environment. Modalities under this category include apprenticeship, learnership, dual training, and other work-based arrangements that are governed by applicable labor laws and TESDA regulations.
By embedding training within enterprises, this modality ensures a direct alignment between the skills being developed and the actual competency requirements of employers — reducing the skills mismatch that often exists between TVET graduates and the labor market. Employers who participate in enterprise-based training programs benefit from a pipeline of work-ready talent, while trainees gain hands-on experience, industry exposure, and a stronger foundation for long-term employment or career advancement. Enterprise-Based Training reflects TESDA’s commitment to forging meaningful partnerships with the private sector in building a highly competent Filipino workforce.
