Background

The ASEAN integration in 2015 transforms the Philippines into a strong and dynamic competitor in the region. Identified as one of the Next Eleven countries, the Philippines is considered as one of the upcoming, largest and fastest growing economies. Implied with an increasing demand for skilled labour the Philippine government addressed this challenge with the educational K-12 reform by adding two years of senior high school. Aiming to align the basic education with international standards, the young workforce shall be prepared for the promising opportunities.

This this will not be enough to tackle the shortage of skilled labour. Thus, in October 2013, the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development mandated the German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry alongside other Partners to bring in dual training following the German holistic approach to serve as innovative solution.

There have been many attempts to implement dual approaches in the country. It is the first time in the Philippines that private sector actively involves itself and spearheads the innovation towards an exceptional educational system channelled through GPCCI.

Info Dual Training

The dual vocational training system is the most common form of vocational training in Germany. The core concept of the dual system is that training is conducted in two places of learning – companies and vocational schools. The company provides trainees with the practical part of the training for 3-4 days a week, whereas the vocational school delivers the theoretical part for the other 1-2 days. Depending on the profession, training lasts between two and three and a half years.
