How to become a Factory Worker
While a particular degree is not required to become a Factory Worker, many companies prefer senior high school graduates, ideally those who have graduated under the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track, or those who graduated from a course accredited by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). Depending on the complexity of the job and the specialization needed to perform a skill or operate machinery, a company may also require further specialized training.
- Obtain a senior high school (SHS) diploma, preferably in the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track to earn Certificates of Competency (COC) or a National Certificate (NC) in a particular field.
- Alternatively, finish a technical-vocational course accredited by TESDA in the field that you plan to enter.
- Be on the lookout for specialized training by TESDA or TESDA-accredited centers that can equip you with more advanced skills.
