A Response to the need of the marketplace… • ADB: Skills shortage in Asia could hamper economic growth (Phil Star-April 3, 2008) • Impacted substantially by shortages in other parts of the world. The US alone, forecasts a shortfall of 200, 000 welders by 2010 (Wall Street Journal, 26 May 2007) • Micro: JG Summit Group - aircraft maintenance and pilots for Cebu. Pacific - engineers/technicians for JG Petrochem

TEACHER TRAINING: Our GBF Experience FOCUS ON TECHNICAL TRAINING How we procure and develop our technical faculty • RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION • PRE-EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION • IN-SERVICE UPGRADING N. B. Applicable only to regular and organic teaching staff as differentiated from on-call faculty.

RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION Personal Basics: male/female; 25 -50 yrs old required medical certification Academic Qualification: minimum BS degree Engineering/ Industrial Ed/Industrial Tech Experience: at least 3 years in a relevant field Teaching/HRD/Tech Operations Tech Maintenance-Logistics

PRE-EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION DIDACTICS INDUSTRY IMMERSION Psychology of Learning and Instruction 8 session days inclusive of a 3 -day MICROTEACHING 2 to 6 weeks shop floor internship in one of our plants/operations focusing on subject competence

IN-SERVICE UPGRADING ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION Dean of Instruction’s CLINICAL INTERVENTION ADVANCED TRAINING & OVERSEAS FELLOWSHIP Leybold Didactics, GERMANY; SAI Engineering, SINGAPORE Airbus Industries, FRANCE; JAVADA, JAPAN; AWS.

All of the teacher training efforts mentioned are focused on INSTRUCTIONAL COMPETENCE in: 1) underlying theory (CONCEPTS & PRINCIPLES CLARIFICATION ) 2) skilled performance (CBT) 3) collegial problem solving (TEAMS)

The other advanced HRD competency areas are developed as a function of job growth and experiential exposure without any formal structure: Job Evaluation Training Needs Analysis Curriculum Design HRD Systems Design Behavioral Modification & Attitude Change Comparative Learning Modalities Organizational Development (OD) Career Planning Human Performance Improvement Learning Management Systems (LMS/ blended & e-learning) WE ARE CONTENT AT HAVING WITHIN OUR CORPORATE HR ORGANIZATION A FEW SENIOR STAFF WITH THE EXPOSURE AND COMPETENCE IN THE ABOVE AREAS AND WE ENLIST THEIR HELP AS NEEDED.

TRADE TESTING AND SKILLS ASSESMENT 1) As a rule… we submit our graduates to assessment by the hiring company with our industry liaison officer serving as observer in required qualification activities. 2) In frequent practice, however…we involve the prospective hiring companies at various stages in the training process such that they forego any assessment on hiring of graduates. 3) A necessary exception are trade areas and technologies with stringent supervising authority: • AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE RATINGS – Air Transport Authority • ELECTRICAL TRADES – Electrical Code compliance per PSPEE • WELDING – AWS/API or equiv codes JIS/DIN In these trade areas we submit our graduates to 3 rd Party Inspection and Assessment duly certified by authority.

towards a more demanding cognitive age…more will be expected of graduates; and even more will be expected of teachers and trainors… COROLLARY: “Globalization is real and important. But it is not the central force driving economic change…The chief force reshaping manufacturing (and business) is technological change hastened by competition…” More central is “skills revolution. We are moving into a more demanding cognitive age. ”

“ In order to thrive, people are compelled to become better at ABSORBING PROCESSING and COMBINING Information” and CONVERTING these into needed products and services.

“Information can now travel 15, 000 miles in an instant. But the most important part of information’s journey is the last few inches – the space between a person’s eyes or ears and the various regions of the brain. ”

• Does the individual have the capacity to understand the information? • Does he or she have the training to exploit it? • Are there cultural assumptions that distort the way it is perceived?

This cognitive age paradigm explained by David Brooks in The New York Times emphasizes psychology, culture and pedagogy - the specific processes that foster learning. It emphasizes ‘that different societies are being stressed in similar ways by increased demands on human capital. ’

‘If we understand that we are living at the beginning of the cognitive age, we are focusing on the real source of prosperity. And, hopefully, understand that our anxiety is not being caused by a foreigner, not by China, not by India and not by globalization. ’ As you can see, the schools…the TVET system… are at the center of this development.
