Event Partners TESDA X, DOT X Rationale According to ASEAN (www.asean.org), the travel and tourism sector plays a very important role in the overall ASEAN economy. Based on the ASEAN Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2012, it is estimated that this sector accounts for 4.6% of ASEAN GDP. Thus, to ensure growth sustainability and greater contribution to the ASEAN economy, the ASEAN tourism attractiveness needs to be accompanied by excellent quality of services provided by the industry within the region. Having high-skilled tourism workers to deliver services should become a norm to guarantee satisfaction of tourists visiting the region. One of the ways to achieve this goal is through mutual recognition of qualifications of tourism professionals across ASEAN Members States. The purposes of this MRA mechanism are to facilitate mobility of tourism professionals within ASEAN based on tourism competency qualification/certificate, and at the same time, improve the quality of services delivered by tourism professionals. Since there are 32 job titles covered under this MRA, ranging from housekeeping, front office, food and beverages services, and food production for hotel division, to travel agencies and tour operator for travel division, it is important that all relevant institutions should understand what this is all about in fully operationalizing in successfully pursuing the important initiatives for the integration. In our quest for 2015 ASEAN Integration preparedness and readiness, SMI, together with other VET Institutions, is taking the lead in providing avenues where all technical vocational education and training institutions understand and prepare towards recognition of professional qualification, harmonization, and standardization within ASEAN Tourism employment and entrepreneurship framework. Moreover, it is for this reason that the Filipino workforce is faced with global, much less ASEAN, and domestic challenges and a changing workplace and economic milieu. With this, in accordance to the National Technical Education and Skills Development Plan (NTESDP) for 2011-2016, there is a need to strengthen partnership among stakeholders in achieving one of the major objectives that serves as anchors to realize 21st Century Skilled Workforce. Thus, in


3 | P a g e

achieving effective training management, there must be 1) sustainable research and development; and 2) mobilization of quality resource inputs.

Therefore, it is essential that all vocational education and training providers understand its effect to education industry in lieu to the agreed Qualifications Framework by having a forum geared towards having a clear understanding in operationalizing the Tourism Toolbox, and competency compliance. Further, in order to intensify gathering, analysis and dissemination of labor market information (LMI), this event will ensure closer, more active and purposive engagement with industry through regular consultation and dialogue with industry not only at the national level but sub-national as well to identify collaboration and integration of employability skills and developmental concerns. The data, after process validation, to be gathered will beneficial to the following:

a. Utilization of relevant data for in the conduct of periodic review of training regulations and curricula. Further, these data will provide an up-to-date current demands and trends from the ground-level which will “deepen the theoretical/knowledge, employability skills, promoting the use of automation/technology, power tools, strengthening safety and health and consideration of environmental/ecological concerns.”

b. Basis for “reviewing and enhancing the curricula in consonance with the changes in the TR and to enhance TVET delivery along both the competency-based paths and Mutual Recognition Agreement.

Objectives

At the end of the conference, participants are able to:

1) Understand curriculum in lieu of the latest curriculum innovation 2) Unpack ASEAN Tourism MRA Training Regulation 3) Recognize ASEAN Integration implications to TESDA 4) Identify standards for Trainers who will implement the MRA

Annex D: Sample Invitation May 20, 2014 MR. LEO V. VELEZ Director III Provincial Director, TESDA Misamis Oriental Dear Director Velez, Warm greetings! The advent of ASEAN Integration in 2015, Philippine attractiveness needs to have competitive edge among its ASEAN neighbors. Excellence or Quality Service should spell out the advantages of our skilled Filipino workforce. With the Mutual Recognition Agreement as an ASEAN norm and basis of standard to guarantee customer satisfaction among tourists in the region, it is deemed important that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of ASEAN Tourism Curriculum, Regional Qualifications and Skills Recognition Systems. Hence, Skills Mastery Institute is grateful for the partnership that Technical Education and Skills Development Authority and the Department of Tourism have provided. This partnership is taking the lead in providing the best avenue to prepare/ready all stakeholders of Region X understand this recognition mechanism of professional qualification, harmonization, and standardization in relation to ASEAN Tourism employability skills and competence. Thus, I would like to request your good office to make this Seminar and Workshop mandatory to all Misamis Oriental Tourism Trainers and Assessor in accordance to their Continuing Education and Training and Assessment Moderation activity . Further, we would like to ask also if you could endorse this activity to all TESDA Technology Institutions, DepED TLE, and CHED-Accredited schools providing Housekeeping course. This will ensure quality of the current pool of technical trainers/assessors with their competence to trade qualifications, training delivery and assessment methodologies in light of the ASEAN Integration 2015. I am hoping for your favorable response on this regard for the success of our upcoming seminar and workshop on Understanding Implication of Tourism MRA Toolbox to TESD on June 3-4, 2014 at the Mallberry Suites, Cagayan de Oro City. This conference will be attended by 80-100 participants in Region 10 from Higher Education, Department of Education, TESDA Technology Institutions (TTIs) and Technical-Vocational Institutions (TVIs), Tourism Organizations and Industries, like COHARA and IHARA, and Tourism Trainers and Assessors.
