2022 FIN & FIS Technical Directors Summit

In an effort to bring together technical directors from Don Bosco TVET centers across the country, Don Bosco-One TVET Philippines, Inc. organized the 2022 FIN & FIS Technical Directors Summit. Fr. Jose Dindo Vitug, SDB, the Executive Director of DB1TVET, lead the summit by discussing the agendas that tackled a review of DB1TVET’s Vision and Mission, updating and revising DB1TVET Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, presenting DB1TVET’s sustainability plan. The main focus of the TD Summit is to draw up a draft sustainability action plan for each TVET center. As time passes by, catching up to the changes and trends is important for an organization, this is one of the reasons why DB1TVET hosted the said event. The summit was also an opportunity for the attendees to network with one another and exchange ideas, which can help the TVET centers improve and cope with the changes.

Held at the Emerald Boutique Hotel, Legazpi City, Albay last Nov. 10th-11th, the 2022 FIN Technical Directors Summit was attended by the technical directors and representatives from different DB TVET Centers in the North. Fr. Jose Dindo Vitug, SDB, opened the summit with a quick “kumustahan” and a brief introduction of the agendas for this event. A review of DB1TVET’s Vision and Mission and an activity, followed by his discussion on DB1TVET’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, were his agendas that the FIN technical directors were able to hear and discuss on their first day attending the summit. Drafts of the sustainability action plans from 2 types of TVET centers (attached and stand-alone) were presented by the technical directors and representatives of FIN on the last day.
