Learning Resource Center (TESDA)

LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER (TESDA)

The USPF Learning Resource Center was established in 1996 to respond to a great demand for certificate-based non-formal education for learners who cannot pursue four-year courses or bachelor’s degree programs. At that time, it was termed “Blue Collar Job” preparation.
The vision was initiated by then Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs L. D. Jereza, who was also the President of ANTEP (Association of Non-Traditional Education in the Philippines) at the time. ANTEP opened opportunities to network with schools’ associations, hotels, restaurants, resorts, and other business establishments.
From 1996 to 2000, the program highlight was providing manpower supply to Singapore, specifically training domestic helpers. By the years 1998 to 2000, USPF became the sole trainer for domestic helpers bound for Singapore. Accredited manpower agents for Visayas and Mindanao enlisted their candidates for the USPF LRC training, which was by batches of 50 to 80 persons for Singapore deployment. However, the program was suspended after the execution of Flor Contemplacion.
When the National Manpower & Youth Council (NMYC) changed its name to Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), which was geared to providing Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) Projects, LRC applied to be accredited to offer several programs, including Food & Beverage Services NC II, Hotel Housekeeping NC II, Bread & Pastry Production NC II, Cookery NC II (formerly known as Commercial Cooking).
USPF LRC’s partnership with TESDA has since progressed, including the granting of accreditation to USPF as a TVET (Technical Vocational Education Training) center.
The highlights of the center are as follows:
    • 1. Mobile trainers for resorts (i.e. White Sands in Mactan; Maribago Bluewaters in Mactan, San Remegio Resort with Service Plus on designing Operations Manual),
    • 2. Recipient of scholars in Cookery from Congressman Salimbangon and others in batches of 50 learners,
    • 3. Partnership with HRRAC (Rizal Hall) thru USAID selected chef of top restaurants for upgrading Cooking Skills,
    • 4. Scholarship grants to selected bakery owners in mixing dry ingredients for prospective franchiser (LRC-Building), and
    • 5. MOA with Japan endorsing USPF as center for caregiving with Niponggo language skills for Japan hiring.
USPF also received accreditation as a TESDA Assessment Center for Cookery NC II, Food & Beverage Service NC II, Hotel Housekeeping NC II, Bread & Pastry Production NC II, Barista NC II, and Trainers Methodology Level I.
USPF is the only Barista Training Center and Assessment Center in Cebu City and the province. This recognition was concretized by the USPF Board with the establishment of the Centro Caffe’, which was inaugurated in 2018.
For more than 25 years, the Learning Resource Center has been and still is channeling best efforts and competency skills for human development.
