Bohol to put up auto-servicing training hub at prov'l motor pool

 


TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, October 23 (PIA) -- Governor Erico Aristotle Aumentado is setting up the Capitol Motor Pool to become an automotive assessment and training center as a technical education and skills development training priority. 

This after the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) reported the need for certified automotive mechanics to run the government accredited auto-service shops.

The issue on the lack of automotive service technicians with national certification like the one which the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) can give to trained automotive servicing mechanics  from accredited automotive assessment centers surfaced as the industry is short of training and assessment centers.

"It is also expensive to set up and equip a training and assessment center especially for automotive servicing," said TESDA Bohol Supervising TESD Specialist Joan Sayon during the Kapihan sa PIA program. 

The Provincial Technical Skills Development Council (PTSDC) recently revealed that the plan for Capitol to acquire a separate lot for the said purpose has already been allocated with funds during the last budget hearing to address the DTI concern on the lack of automotive servicing mechanics holding NC II certification. 

“The governor’s plan actually helps a lot: it can allow the use of the extra hands from the trainees in getting the necessary repairs while it can also maximize on the repair accomplishment the motor pool direly needs, and then it can contribute to the need for more auto mechanics with NC II certifications and addresses the DTI Concerns,” said a member of the PTSDC.
