In an effort to address this challenge, a public-private partnership – between the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Bayan Academy, and the social responsibility arm of global banking giant J.P. Morgan – was formed with the objective of training TESDA trainers who can then teach ‘skillspreneurship’ or skill-based entrepreneurship to a broader population.
