This May, 16 personnel from various UP Diliman (UPD) units successfully earned their Housekeeping National Certificate II (NC II), while three qualified for their certificate’s renewal, through the Skills Training and Enhancement Program for UPD (STEP UP) on Housekeeping NC II.
Administered by the UPD Human Resource Development Office (HRDO) Human Resource Development and Benefits Division, the program is the office’s first collaboration with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority-National Capital Region (TESDA-NCR).
The HRDO recognized the 19 employees with a graduation ceremony on May 28 at the Balay Kalinaw Conference Hall.
UPD Chancellor Edgardo Carlo L. Vistan II said the event as historic for the University, noting that the training participants are the first batch of UPD personnel trained by TESDA for Housekeeping NC II.
“Ang inyong dedikasyon at hindi matatawarang komitment sa pagdalo sa ating pagsasanay at masusing paghahanda sa national assessment ay sumasalamin sa ating hangaring patuloy na mapabuti ang ating mga sarili, hindi lamang para sa pampersonal na kapakanan, ngunit lalo’t higit para sa ikabubuti ng ating pagseserbisyo sa kani-kaniyang opisina,” Vistan said.
For his part, HRDO Deputy Director Kristian July R. Yap said, “may mga hamon man tayong naranasan, matagumpay nating nalampasan ang mga ito hindi lamang dahil sa ating mga pansariling hakbangin ngunit lalo’t higit sa pagtutulungan ng lahat na maiangat ang estado ng bawat isa. Kaya naman nararapat lamang na pagpugayan kayong lahat para sa isang makabuluhan at kolektibong pagkatuto.”
Meanwhile, HRDO Planning and Research Division Chief Rogelio T. Estrada Jr. praised the participants and said “kayong lahat ay key players sa pagsisigurong natutupad ng UPD, bilang isang pang-akademikong institusyon at ahensiya ng gobyerno, ang mga hangarin ntio iba’t ibang miyembro ng ating munting komunidad.”
Melanie M. Dajan of the TESDA Women’s Center also delivered a message to the training participants.
