Mutual Recognition Arrangements are arrangements between two or more parties to mutually recognise or accept some or all aspects of one another’s conformity with assessment results.

(in our case tourism certificates and qualifications).

1) To facilitate mobility of Tourism Professionals/Workers;

2) To exchange information on best practices in competency-based education and training for Tourism Professionals; and

3) To provide opportunities for cooperation and capacity building across ASEAN member countries

ACF Construction Standards Trade Skills Training (ACSTST) Program

Competency standards – refers to the list of skills/competencies available to the individual for his education and training

Training standards – set to provide the instructors with the information and other important requirements to consider when designing training programs for a specific competency standard

Assessment/certification arrangements – created to verify and validate the competencies of the trainees through a hands- on and written assessment; demonstrating the competencies they have learned in the Training Standards

The ACSTST Committee has agreed that there will be ten (10) priority trade skills across ACF member countries to be harmonized:

Where does technical education and training fit

in?

Scenarios

Greater mobility of people: ‘semi-skilled’ type

Key to mobility: proof of qualification

Implications:

Influence the MRAs to sectors (eg tourism professionals)

Perform key role in regional standard setting

Advocacy: with chambers, sectors where Philippine ‘labor’

has advantage

Imperatives on TESDA

Influence agenda setting – regional standards for ‘skills’

Partner with chambers to advocate for MRA:

construction, tourism

International Benchmarking on standards

Demand for labor from investments, short term

Mobility of ‘semi-skilled’ ; longer term
