EITSC promotes awareness in innovation, technology and science to the Filipino youth and develops linkages between academe and private sector.

“There is a distinct need for a platform where senior high-school graduates can acquire the skills and tools necessary to be employed. We want this project to align the academic curriculum of educational institutions in the country with what the various industries require,” EITSC Executive Director Dominic Sabado said.

Under the K+12 program, the last two years in high school that will be called senior high school provides sufficient time for students to prepare themselves for tertiary level, middle-skills level development, employment and entrepreneurship.

With the dual-training program, senior high-school students will take knowledge and experiences in two venues: the school and the company.
