TESDA CAREGIVER: Professional And Certified Caregivers
The motive and aim of this body is to educate, encourage and enhance technical education in the country. TESDA also trains and educates people to work in the health care centre as caregivers. Caregivers play an important role in the health care sector. With changing lifestyles and developing medical technology life expectancy has increased. This means that with increased development in medical care many more medically trained caregivers and nurses are required.
TESDA trains people to become qualified caregivers. TESDA certified caregivers are equipped and skilled to handle emergencies and provide relief. These caregivers have great demand in medical setups.
TESDA had on offer a number of courses which train people and also encourage healthcare education. Education helps answer a lot of questions and such courses pave way for these health care workers and caregivers to earn money and be independent.
Manpower is most important thing for any country to progress. And for any nation to progress it’s important that it has a well trained and a well maintained manpower. This is one attempt made by the Department of Labour and Employment.
The main aim of this initiative is to reach out to the people and train them in vocational courses so that they can live independent lives. The caregivers training programmes are set up all over Philippines and one can join the course in their respective city or towns. This course train them to work in medical setups in thee cities as well as the in rural setups. These caregivers have a great demand overseas especially countries like Canada, United Kingdom and the United States of America.
The various courses offered range from vocational courses such as plumbing, electrical works, sewing and even working at call centres. The idea is to reach out to all the people educated or uneducated so that they learn to earn a living for themselves. These courses are designed with a view to cater to every class and strata of the society.

what is the importance of professional skills development?
Essential! In any line of work, you’ve got to keep learning and developing yourself. For several reasons. First, the world/economy/customer trends/technology is changing so rapidly that if you don’t take the steps to constantly update your skills you’ll find yourself less valued by your employer or future employers. Second, a trend in organizations is AWAY from helping individuals build their careers. You’ve got to take charge of your own career, look at future trends in your line of work, and act on finding ways to build your knowledge and skills. Third, companies are increasingly looking for agile, self learning types of people when they interview. Sure, experience is important. But companies recognize that the best employees are the ones that can continuously learn new things and develop their skills in not only their specific line of work but around communication with others, building relationships, negotiating, working as part of a global team, making good decisions, etc. So take advantage of every opportunity for development that comes along. And be proactive in seeking out feedback from others, mentoring, and other development opportunities.
How important is it to you that your health care professional undertakes continuing professional development?
In the UK the majority of health care professionals (including Drs, nurses, physiotherapists, paramedics) now have to show that they continue to update their skills and knowledge on a regular basis. It’s not just enough for them to go on courses they have to reflect on what they have learned and show what impact this learning has had on their professional practise. Often they have to do this in addition to their full-time jobs. Do you think this is fair or should they be allowed time to develop their knowledge and skills during their working day?
I’m interested in the question and how you worded it as i suspect you have some insider knowledge. The CPD is a good idea but some of the barriers to it being effective are lack of funding to pay for external training courses (staff regularly pay themselves and do them in their own time) confused systems for monitoring competence (currently 3 bodies) over dependence on drug companies to pay for training, excessive bureaucracy in the CPD process and wide regional variations in the support for training. The reflective learning idea containes a major flaw- you could be refelecting on absolute rubbish but don’t realise it. Yes there’s a huge issue of being allowed time at work to do it but unless there is pressure put on NHS empoyers to prvide time and resources made available the current muddle will continue. Professional bodies and unions have been very weak on this issue
How can I contribute to the development of humankind?
I am 33. I am looking for ways I can contribute and/or dedicate my professional life to the development of humankind.
To narrow it down a bit, my skills are in software development (10 yrs professional experience), problem solving, communication skills and writing.
At the same time I need to support my family, and put bread on the table, so I can’t just give up the current income from my full-time job without an alternative.
Your answers and suggestions are much appreciated! Thank You!

if you don’t have money to invest in the companies with goals you believe in, many believe that prayer and meditation are equally as valuable … i’m endorsing no religion but just prayer and meditation in general
I would like to become a professional web developer in PHP. What do I know and How do I improve My Skills?
I am a php programmer. I would like to become a professional web developer. How do I develop my web development skills and what things are necessary to improve to become a professional web developer.
I really recommend Usenet (= news groups). There’s no better way to find out how much you really know and how much you still have to learn than reading about the challenges that other developers are facing every day. Usenet is a very old part of the internet, it predates the WWW by over 10 years, but it’s still running strong. You can access it with most email clients such as Thunderbird or Outlook Express. The advantage is that you’ll get the new messages just like e-mails, and don’t have to go to 20 different web forums.
You can also use groups.google.com to access news groups, but I don’t recommend it (except as an archive).
Subscribe to the comp.lang.php newsgroup, download the last 500-1000 posts, read whatever looks interesting, and from that point on, follow the discussions and participate wherever you can. Answer the easy questions, ask questions yourself, try to understand everything that’s said. Other groups that are worthwhile to subscribe to are comp.infosystems.www.authoring.misc (everything about (X)HTML and CSS) and comp.lang.javascript (very high level discussions there).
It’s quite likely that your ISP runs a news server, probably named news.providername.com, but many ISPs have dropped Usenet access lately to avoid legal issues. Usenet is and always was a little anarchic, but don’t let that stop you. If your ISP doesn’t run a local news server, use “aioe.org”. They’re free to read and post. They don’t allow binaries, but that’s okay since you’re only interested in the discussion groups anyway.
Before you post yourself, lurk a bit, read as much as you can so you can avoid some of the beginner faux-pas.
Other than Usenet, there are quite a few websites with interesting articles out there: webreference.com and weberdev.com would be two examples. But (IMO) nothing beats participation.
Hope that helps!
What area of your skills/professional development do you want to improve at this time?
