PHILIPPINES. TESDA (15 May 2025) - The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) announced Thursday the partnership it reached with GCash to expand the agency's online program's reach.

With the recent partnership, GCash users could view the TESDA Online Program (TOP) website through the GCash app's GJobs icon, making more people aware of the courses.

"Through the partnership, learners will be able to access industry-relevant courses and effortlessly explore employment opportunities via GJobs, powered by PasaJob. By linking skills development with job accessibility, this collaboration will help Filipinos move efficiently from education to workforce readiness, supporting their long-term career growth," TESDA said in a news release.

“By integrating TESDA’s programs within the GCash platform, we are empowering individuals with the tools they need to build financial independence and secure meaningful job opportunities in the digital economy," G-Xchange Inc. vice president and head of Innovations Leonardo Ferdinand Byron Perez was quoted as saying.

TESDA and GCash will also conduct consultative meetings to explore how financial technology tools and innovations can improve TOP and digital learning.

“Through this collaboration with GCash, we can reach more Filipinos and equip them with the industry-relevant skills and opportunities they need to succeed in today’s evolving job market,” TESDA Secretary Francisco Benitez said.
