But, workers in enterprise-based companies or industries currently trained by their employers are not covered by the new law. “With the signing of Tulong Trabaho Law, we look forward to Tesda producing more tech-voc graduates and become skilled workers that our labor market needs. The next step here is to craft the implementing rules and regulations of the law so that the programs gets a headstart,” he added. The new law will take effect 15 days after its publication in the Official Gazette or in a newspaper of general circulation.
