TESDA is not the first government agency to embrace this modernization. The Social Security System, Department of Science and Technology’s Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (DOST-PAGASA) and Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHILVOCS) have all launched their own mobile apps to disseminate information and provide services faster for the Filipinos.
With this new technology, TESDA aims to effectively and conveniently share information and services, and get in touch with mobile users.
