Collaboration with the TK foundation – helping improve training in the Philippines – GlobalMET TK foundation Project in the Philippines
From 2013 to 2015, the TK foundation, GlobalMET and its members organized and conducted workshops to help trainers from various maritime institutions in the Philippines in upgrading their knowledge and skills, understanding the OBE requirements that have been incorporated in STCW and alligning their practices to the latest requirements of CHED and MARINA. This consisted of a series of workshops conducted at the campuses of one of our members – MAAP, located in the scenic location of Bataan.
(extract from the TK foundation summary of grants):
The mission of GlobalMETt is to promote, develop and support in the spirit of cooperation thecommon interests of its members in matters concerning the development and quality of MaritimeEducation and Training. There is a gap of what trainers are training at maritime schools
(especially in the Philippines) and what is needed by the industry hiring those schools' graduates.TK Foundation funding would help support a pilot program course in the Philippines that offersreliable training components, assesses skills, enables nationally recognized qualifications andencourages flexible training that would suit both student graduates and industry requirements.
