OMNIBUS
AMENDMENT TO DEPARTMENT ORDER NO. 6, SERIES OF 1994, PROVIDING FOR THE
POLICIES AND IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE TESDA-JITCO
SKILLS
AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROJECT.
.
.
.
The Record of Discussion (ROD) between the former National Manpower and Youth Council (NMYC) and JITCO was signed in 1992. Since 1994, the Philippines was able to deploy less than a thousand workers to Japan for training. As it was few then, the number of accredited sending organizations increased. Sourcing of workers for the cross-culture technology transfer project extended beyond Metro-Manila and its suburban regions to cover practically the entire country.
The establishment
of the Technical
Education
and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) through R.
A. 7796 provides for the rationalization and coordination of all
public
and private training programs for a more efficient and cost-effective
delivery
system for our workers and enterprises alike. It is therefore in the
spirit
and intent of this law that the TESDA-JITCO Skills and Technology
Transfer
Project shall pursue its activities: to help enable our local
industries,
workers, and products and services attain greater degree of
competitiveness
in the global market.
.

For the purpose of enhancing opportunities to as many Filipino workers as possible, SOs may enter into such agreements/contracts with as many AOs as its organizational capacity can manage. In the same light, an AO may transact with one or more SOs as it may deem appropriate provided that TESDA is duly notified and arrangement made by AO to any contracting SOs do not result to any diminution of the trainees' welfare benefits.
3. Regionalization
The management of project implementation shall be regionalized.
4. Training Plans/Curricula
