"Greetings, I am Windows Operating System 7, I am built for your complete convenience. I can do everything for you students in no time at all. If you utilize me, I can process term papers, reports, periodicals, homeworks, illustrations without the need for drawing, sketching, aligning, indenting, maintaining consistent lines and paragraphs, and proper penmanship like you students do because it’s already part of my system. This is the 21st century!”

If only computers could taunt, the above would probably be the first line they would say if their owner was a student. Technology has taken a big leap forward in the 21st century; with computer programs, cars, electronics upgrading by the month and even by the day!

As a student, I know how valuable time is. Efficiency is certainly most needed when doing school works such as term papers, reports and illustrations.

With the introduction of text programs such as Microsoft Word, work time is greatly reduced. The computer programs practically “think” by themselves so that the student can minimize making errors.

The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) regulates and supervises the practice of professionals who constitute the highly skilled manpower of the country.

TESDA, on the other hand, is responsible for the professionalization of those in the skilled occupations – the middle-level manpower consisting of skilled workers and technicians.

TESDA’s competency assessment and certification program is the recognized mechanism to measure a worker’s knowledge and competence and help ensure the productivity, quality and global competitiveness of middle-level workers. This is being done through the Philippine TVET Qualification and Certification System (PTQCS).

TESDA-certified workers are conferred the equivalent eligibility by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to qualify them for a job in the government, including government-owned and controlled corporations and state universities and colleges.
