TESDA WOMEN'S CENTER
The establishment of the TESDA Women’s Center started in 1993 when former Senator Leticia Ramos-Shahani met with some members of the Japanese Diet. Between 1996 and 1997 the Exchange of Notes for the Project was done.
A total amount of Japanese Yen 2.620 Billion (USD 23.82M) was granted for the construction of the Center. This development was in sync with TESDA’s affirmative action policy of ensuring that women are trained in industrial courses traditionally dominated by men. The policy requires that at least 10 percent of the total TESDA annual training graduates are women. The turnover / hand-over ceremony and inauguration of the TESDA Women’s Center and its Dormitory was held in 1998.

The TWC Audio-Visual Presentation
The new TESDA Women's Center Audio-Visual Presentation (AVP) demonstrates the heart and vision of TWC.
While watching the AVP, we hope that you will be inspired by the commitment of TWC to be the lead Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Institution of Excellence in empowering Filipino women.
TWC earnestly advocates for gender equality and social inclusion in TVET by ensuring the equal participation of women, men, and different profiles and sectors in society through skills training and other opportunities for wage or self-employment.
With guidance from the TWC management, the AVP is produced by the TWC - Research, Advocacy, Systems, and Gender and Development Unit (RAGADU).
