system of companies, establishments, and other related employing
agencies to increase the qualifications of their applicants.
Specifically they are looking for employees who are equipped
with the highest core competencies and essential skills to
perform effectively and efficiently in the work field. The study
sought to find out the relevance of TESDA National Certificate
II on the career of BSHRTM Graduates of Saint Paul University
Philippines Tuguegarao City. The research approach, design, and
method that were used in the study was the descriptive design
using the survey method. In this descriptive survey, the
researchers floated questionnaires to the selected BSHRTM
Graduates of SPUP Tuguegarao City. The study was conducted from
November 2017 to February 2018. It investigated whether having a
TESDA NCII is relevant in the career of BSHRTM graduates of SPUP
Tuguegarao City.

THE PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Introduction

College education gives people the advantage to lead

themselves in any direction they want to proceed in life. It is a

time that students can truly become individuals. They have the

opportunity to become more independent and to take on new

responsibilities. The bonuses of a college education include more

self-confidence, greater economic stability and security, and it

makes you a major contributor to the greatest nation on earth.

Having a college diploma is an achievement to be proud of

by the students and by the parents as well. But today, if we try

to consider that tertiary education is more of a privilege over

being a right, then we can conclude that not all have equal

opportunities in getting a diploma.

Over this issue, the Government has always struggled to

give more opportunities to help its people earn a diploma which

is clearly manifested through the existence of the Technical

Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). The

Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is

the government agency tasked to manage and supervise technical

education and skills development (TESDA) in the Philippines. It

was created by virtue of Republic Act 7796, otherwise known as

the “Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994”.

SPUP School of Business Accountancy and Hospitality Management

This agency issues National Certificate after completion of a

chosen course which can now be considered as a diploma for those

individuals who can`t afford to be enrolled in college. Having a

TESDA national certificate is highly beneficial. It gives

quality assurance to its graduates in terms of knowledge,

skills, attitudes, and values. Competencies along the middle

level skilled occupations. The certificate will cement the fact

that the student has been thoroughly assessed through a series

of demonstrations, observations with oral questioning, written

test, interviews, third party reports, and work projects.

National Certificate II, is a certification offered

by our government, with only minimal amount of tuition fees.

Wherein, an individual could learn and enhance their knowledge

and skills through the course or field they`ve chosen. It is

issued when a candidate has demonstrated competence in all units

of competency that comprised a qualification. National

Certificate II performs prescribed range of functions involving

known routines and procedures. It has limited choice and

complexity of functions and has a little accountability. A

national certification is given once you've successfully

demonstrated that you have the necessary skills and knowledge to

perform the [Link] develops competency standards for

middle-level skilled workers. These are in the form of units of

competency containing descriptors for acceptable work

performance. These are packaged into qualifications

SPUP School of Business Accountancy and Hospitality Management

 St. Paul University Philippines
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan 3500 9

corresponding to critical jobs and occupations in the priority

industry sectors. The qualifications correspond to a specific

levels in the Philippine TVET Qualifications Framework

(PTQF).The competency standards and qualifications, together

with training standards and assessment arrangements comprise the

national training regulations (TR) promulgated by the TESDA

Board. The TRs serve as basis for registration and delivery of

TVET programs, competency assessment and certification and

development of curricula for the specific qualification.

The tourism industry is a major contributor to the world

economy as well the hotel and restaurant industry is the

combination of the institutions, supporting human resources,

financing mechanisms, information systems, organizational

structures that link institutions and resources that cater to

the needs of domestic and foreign travellers. For the Philippine

tourism industry to be “competitive” in line of the ASEAN

Economic Community (AEC), it must advance its strategic planning

and effectively utilize its labour and capital. Manpower

competitiveness is a necessary requirement to provide employment

the growing demand for tourism and hotel and restaurant courses.

Having a college diploma is a big advantage but having an

additional certificate like TESDA NCII is a big plus factor when

it comes to applying for a job. Because employers are looking

for more knowledgeable, skilled and experienced individual/s

SPUP School of Business Accountancy and Hospitality Management

 St. Paul University Philippines
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan 3500 10

whocan be a part and can contribute for the success of their

companies. NCII can be one of our weapon for employment. The

more NCII we have, the more knowledge and skills we acquire and

opportunities to come. Certificates will enhance your

employability, it refers to your ability to gain initial

employment, maintain employment, and obtain new employment if

required and having a set of skills, knowledge, understanding,

and personal attributes. Completing your studies as an

investment in yourself to improve your productivity and

opportunities to work in roles that are aligned to your unique

needs, interests and values that will improve your prospects to

have a more fulfilling and rewarding career life.

This organization goal is to create a positive

change to brighten the students who haven't know the advantages

of the certificate. The effect of the certificate or the

training program will provide information that will help the

students to get through their training. This paper will tackle

the topic about the importance of the NCII into the career

opportunities of the BSHRM and BSTM students of Saint Paul

University Philippines.

Related Literature and Studies

DR. AugustoSy (2016), stated that “TESDA is mandated to

provide relevant, accessible, high quality and efficient

technical education and skills development in support of the

development of high quality Filipino middle level manpower

responsive to and in accordance with the Philippine development

goals and priorities”.

Lyons (2015),express that in the hospitality industry, change

is an accepted and necessary part of doing business. Whether it

is to stay ahead of the curve in everything from menu

development to recently enacted legislation, hospitality

operators must be able to position their business to be agile

enough to remain competitive in the today's world. Hospitality

program has to provide their graduates with the tools necessary

to be successful in the ever changing world.

Dopson and Nelson (2014), have looked at industry perspective

regarding the importance of various skills and abilities

necessary for success, none has taken that information and woven

it into the academic arena through identification of a process

for monitoring real time growth for students through assessment

for hospitality programs housed in accredited colleges of

business.

Swanger (2010),said that several researchers examined

existing curriculum using data gathered from industry

SPUP School of Business Accountancy and Hospitality Management

 St. Paul University Philippines
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan 3500 12

professionals, faculty and students regarding the skills

necessary for success in the industry and proposed revised

curriculum stated.

According to Zao (2011), said the current look at

hospitality and tourism education in China's colleges and

universities, there has been a boom in the tourism industry in

China within the last ten years. Hospitality and tourism

education, especially higher education, has undergone rapid

development. In 1978 there was not a single course offered in

hospitality and tourism at any higher education institution.

Today 69 institutions of higher education offer different

programs at varying levels, including two-year diplomas, three-

year certificates, and four-year Bachelor's and Master's

degrees. This paper examines the development of higher education

in hospitality and tourism, outlines the problems it faces, and

discusses the possible solutions to the problems. In the

article, Job Competency Expectations for Hospitality and Tourism

Employees present the findings of a central Florida study of

hospitality and tourism management practitioners. It reports the

findings of practitioner perceptions of desired knowledge,

skills, and attitudes. It further demonstrates the overall

impressions of practitioners concerning levels of preparation

for entry-level positions in the industry.

According to Wen (2008), the study on the factors associated

with hospitality students' satisfaction with internship programs

and the relationships between training, job satisfaction, and

confidence about future careers in order to provide schools and

industries with suggestions regarding course development and

training during internships. Training classes made a significant

difference in satisfaction with the supervisor and educational

program. The regression analysis showed that training

satisfaction played a positive role as a predictor of

participants' job satisfaction and confidence about future

careers. The effect of satisfaction with training on

participants' confidence about future careers was mediated by

their satisfaction with the internship.

Ylagan Al (2013), emphasize that competencies are identified

behaviours, knowledge, skills, and abilities that directly and

positively impact the success of employees and organizations.

Competencies can be objectively measured, enhanced, and improved

through coaching and learning opportunities. Through this,

interns know that competence indicates sufficiency of knowledge

and skills that enable someone to act in a wide variety of

situations.

According to Laguador (2013), Learning takes place in

different avenues and forms of human existence. Formal education

from academic institutions is basically the proper venue for

SPUP School of Business Accountancy and Hospitality Management

 St. Paul University Philippines
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan 3500 14

acquiring appropriate knowledge and skills necessary for future

employment.

Fournier (2012) stated that, Skills and competencies required

by food and beverage service management interns were assessed by

surveying their Swiss hotel and restaurant supervisors'

opinions. The survey comprised 48 skills and competencies,

compiled from literature and curricular learning outcomes.

Supervisors rated the importance of each competence and then

assessed their interns' performances on each item. A comparative

analysis of the data highlighted areas in which trainees

exceeded the supervisors' expectations and uncovered

developmental needs. According to supervisors' ratings, the most

important competencies comprised personal qualities and inter-

personal skills; students' highest performance ratings were

reflected in their positive attitudes towards work colleagues.

Given its mandate, TESDA envisions to be the leading

partner in the development of the Filipino workforce with world-

class competence and positive work values. Its mission on the

other hand is to provide direction, policies, programs and

standards towards quality technical education and skills

development. TESDA has also a quality policy which states that,

“We measure our worth by the satisfaction of the customers we

serve.”

SPUP School of Business Accountancy and Hospitality Management

To facilitate the delivery of its mandate, TESDA defines

its Core Business which is comprised of three planks: Direction

Setting, Standard Setting and Systems Development and Support to

TVET Provision.

The core business defined further TESDA’s role as

authority, enabler, manager and promoter of TVET which primarily

involves ensuring sufficient provision of skilled workers and

technicians to meet international work standards as well as the

needs of local enterprises and ensuring access to technical

education for the greater majority of the Filipinos.’

NC2 or TESDA gives you a great opportunity; it allows you to

enhance your knowledge and skills. NC2 has many benefits which

make it better.

Tourism – B.S. in HRM; B.S. in Travel Management; B.S. in

Tourism

Three degree programs were considered as model curriculum-

- Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management (BSHRM)

with five exit points: Housekeeping NC I, Food and Beverage

Services NC II, Commercial Cooking NC II, Front Office NC II and

Bartending NC II; Bachelor of Science in Travel Management

(BSTM) with two exit points: Commercial Cooking NC II and Travel

Services NC II; and Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management

SPUP School of Business Accountancy and Hospitality Management

 St. Paul University Philippines

(BSTM) with two exit points: Tour Guiding NC II and Commercial

Cooking NC II.

According to TESDA (2016), graduating from the programs

given by TESDA will ensure the trainee a National Certificate

from TESDA Assessment that comes with benefits that include a

quality assurance that the graduate has acquired proper

knowledge and an understanding of the task at hand from

undergoing a series of practical and hands-on demonstrations,

positive attitudes from interviews with people who contribute to

the job and work projects. Not only that, but the certificate

will also guarantee that the graduate has acquired the values

that can help his/her skills needed for the said occupation and

for future opportunities that can follow from the success of the

current project.

According to Susan Kihn (2013), career planning is

essential for those in the mining industry to succeed,

particularly as the mining industry has been in so much turmoil

in recent years which has resulted in job opportunities having

shrunken tremendously. For this reason planning and setting

milestones for your desired career path in mining is essential.

Doing this will give you a sense of direction, the opportunity

to reflect on how your career path is progressing, whether you

are achieving the milestones that you have set yourself, and the

opportunity to recognize where things may be going wrong. In

SPUP School of Business Accountancy and Hospitality Management

 St. Paul University Philippines
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan 3500 17

order to progress in your career and achieve the goals that you

have set yourself, you will need to plan forward, and work on

developing your skill set. You will also need to actively pursue

employee development opportunities that may arise and to ensure

that you gain the relevant work experience needed.

Cleo Louw(2010), said thatcareer planning is the

continuous process of thinking about your interests, values,

skills and preferences, exploring the life, work and learning

options available to you and ensuring that your work fits with

your personal circumstances.

Career planning is essential in order to succeed. Setting

long term goals with no thought process as to how you are going

to achieve them often ends in failure. Lack of experience and

knowledge can create pitfalls that make achieving these goals

highly unlikely. For this reason it is better to set short term

goals which are far more specific and easier to formulate. By

ensuring that the short term goals are achievable, and relate to

your long term career goals, gives you the best chance to

succeed.

Shanaz Smith (2014), emphasized that focuses on guest

satisfaction and comfort, while upholding the high quality

standards of service we require. This department is full of

seasoned professionals who focus on even the smallest details in

SPUP School of Business Accountancy and Hospitality Management

 St. Paul University Philippines
Tuguegarao City, Cagayan 3500 18

order to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and guest

service.

Career tracking keeps you in charge of your development

and performance and will assist you in measuring your progress

against the goals that you have set.

Michelle Levendal (2010),stated that in order to fast

track your career, you will need to learn and demonstrate good

leadership qualities. There are some jobs where these skills are

not important, but the majority of the more senior jobs require

good leadership qualities. These skills are especially important

for jobs that would be in supervisory, management or

directorship levels. It is up to you to be able to prove that

you have good leadership skills, and you will need to be able to

make difficult decisions, to be able to be objective, honest and

to always stay focused, and to be able to lead and for others to

be able to respect and trust you. If you feel you are lacking in

these areas, track where you feel you are going wrong and work

on building these areas. There are also training programs

available for those needing help in learning the skills required

to be a leader.

Ultimately there are many ways available to help you along

the way in your chosen career, and tracking your progress along

the way will help you stay focused, measure your progress and

help to achieve your dreams and goals.

Conclusion

Based on the findings of the study, the following

conclusions are drawn

The profile of the respondents as to age, sex, and monthly

income are irrespective from each other. Even though majority of

the respondents were 22-24 years old, this doesn’t have any

effect on their monthly income. While most of the respondents

are female, this isn’t a guarantee that they receive a higher

income than the male participants.

Majority of the participants preferred being a restaurant

manager as a career. This shows that their knowledge in

restaurant management will likely be utilized. This can be also

attributed to their abilities in line with their field of

specialization.

As to the relevance of TESDA NC II in their career

opportunities, the participants majorly emphasized that having a

TESDA NC II is relevant because it will help them receive and

respond to workplace communication. This is attributed to the

importance of communication to employees when it comes to their

workplace.

Generally, the participants put up a great extent on the

relevance of having a TESDA NC II in their career opportunities

denoted by a general weighted mean of 3. 63. This shows

Tuguegarao City, Cagayan 3500 44

thatthere is a great relevance of having a TESDA NC II in the

career opportunities of BSHRTM graduates of Saint Paul

University Philippines Tuguegarao City.

Recommendations

In the light of the findings and conclusions made, the

following are recommended:

BSHRTM students of St. Paul University Philippines

Tuguegarao City may encouraged to enrol in a TESDA Course

to have a TESDA NC II. Their time of enrolment are upon

availability of time for as long as it does not conflict

with their class schedules.

Graduates of BSHRTM of St. Paul University Philippines may

enroll in a TESDA Course to secure a TESDA NC II because

it is relevant in their career opportunities.

Graduates of BSHRTM who already hold a TESDA NC II may

still encouraged to enrol other TESDA Courses in order to

increase their knowledge and level of competencies.

Number of TESDA NC II may considered by employers so that

more graduates of BSHRTM may be encouraged to enrol and

take up TESDA NC II courses.

Employing agencies may increase their standard in

employment considering the TESDA background of employees.
