TO ADDRESS LABOR MISMATCH

In a move to address the persistent labor mismatch in the Philippine construction industry, contractors in Cebu, in collaboration with business leaders and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), are set to launch mobile training centers to bring technical education directly to underserved communities across the province.

The initiative, which was officially unveiled during “Philconstruct Visayas 2025,” aims to upskill young workers in trades such as masonry, plumbing, painting, welding, and electrical installation—skills that remain in high demand among local contractors.

“We want to reach far-flung municipalities where employment opportunities in construction are out of reach simply because training isn’t accessible,” said Engr. Rizalito Casinilio, Chairman of the CEO Forum and a key organizer of Philconstruct Visayas 2025.

“Instead of asking young people to travel to Cebu City and bear the costs, we will bring the training to them,” Casinillo noted.
