The project is expected to impact 10,600 beneficiaries in four priority Philippine regions (NCR, Central Luzon, CALABARZON and Central Visayas) trained with area based, demand driven covering IT-BPM, transportation and logistics, construction, and manufacturing sectors, and ICT anchored training curricula. It also aims to strengthen the ties between industries and TESDA and produce area-based and demand-driven TVET knowledge resources and management tools for TESDA.

There are two beneficiary groups: a) low-skilled workers and b) TVET students. Since the trainings to be delivered are directly aligned to higher-level TVET priority programs, beneficiaries will have attained at least a secondary school diploma, which based on the Philippine Qualifications Framework, means they have gained the competencies that are taught within lower- level TVET programs.

For 2023, BA was able to serve 1,912 individuals via different tech-voc training courses in 4 regions to complete its total target of 4,600 (BASE-HRD) for the whole grant (2021-2023).
