The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) of Negros Occidental launched TESDA Spesyalista Technopreneurship Program in the province.

The agency hired nurturer who is tasked to identify and coordinate with partners for the support and assistance required in the implementation of the TSTP, search for and identify the TESDA Spesyalista that will compose the aggrupation, organize the aggrupations, orient the Spesyalista and provide appropriate advice that will strengthen the values, develop and introduce simple and practical methodologies in managing their self-employment or enterprise endeavors.
