Ordinance No. 2023-082

Summary/Additional Info:

This ordinance strengthens the Manpower Skills Training Center under Metro PESO by institutionalizing the Community-Based Training for Enterprise Development (CBTED) methodology in Naga City. In partnership with TESDA, it promotes inclusive, area-specific tech-voc training to address unemployment and foster grassroots entrepreneurship—particularly in economically vulnerable communities.

Key provisions include:

• A 3-phase training program: community mapping and planning, training delivery, and post-training support
• Establishment of a new plantilla position: Manpower Development Officer II (SG-15) as focal point for CBTED implementation
• LGU–TESDA partnership through a Memorandum of Agreement, subject to SP ratification
• Creation of enterprise-linked training pipelines with support for access to credit, marketing, and technical assistance
• Mandated consultations with barangays, private sector, and NGOs to generate community-responsive livelihood models
• Initial implementation via reassigned city personnel while waiting for a permanent appointment
