Abstract
Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has been
continuously gaining much relevance as an approach to sustaining
economic growth and increasing global competitiveness of the country's
labor force. Thus, this study gaged on determining the significance of the
number of TESDA-accredited TVET providers or TVIs in a region on the
number of TVET enrollees to examine the relationship between the latter
and the demand for TVET. With this, the paper presents a hypothesis
that the number of available TVI positively affects the number of TVET
enrollees within that region. Panel data method is applied to determine
the impact, alongside other regional factors like financial aid grants and
regional population. Results from the random-effects models suggest
that the quantity of TVIs in a region is indeed significant and the
breakdown furthers to the outcome that private TVIs have more impact
on the demand.
