ASAI CEBU REVITALIZED
DRAFT
ASAI – CEBU is back and revitalized!
In a meeting with the leaders of the Automotive Service
Association Inc. of Cebu, it was agreed on June 1, 2013 that the Association
will be reactivated and a new set of officers be installed. This means that the
previous officers provide policy directions while a new set of officers be commissioned
to perform the tasks with full authority and responsibility. It is incumbent
upon the new set of officers to ensure that all official requirements to run an
organization, documentary reports as needed by SEC , BIR , DOLE and TESDA be
complied with.
It may be recalled that ASAI- Cebu, which was organized
in the early 1990’s provided many support programs for the development of Human
Resources in Region VII specifically on the Automotive Sector.
The Philippine National Skills Olympics, which was then under the National Manpower and Youth Council was conducted in Cebu City, Region VII.
It was during that time that the skilled workforce of Cebu captured most of the national awards.
This was the result of a strong logistical and technical support from the various organizations in
Cebu. Most notable during that activity, held at Ayala Grounds, in July of 1993
was the effort of the leaders of ASAI who have unselfishly offered their
services and facilities to ensure that the program run as properly as possible.
It is also important to mention here that the Metalworking Industries
Association of the Philippines MIAP, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning
Association Skills Olympics Foundation
Inc. among others made great contributions to the affair. These associations
were organized to support the programs of NMYC/ TESDA and true to form and substance were always
there to support the activities of NMYC/TESDA in planning, development of
curriculum, training and provision of training supervisors, trainors and use of industrial plant
facilities equipment and materials.
The leaders of the industry associations earned the respect
of the leaders of NMYC/TESDA as an important partner in Human Resources Development.
The philosophy of private –led TVET was well understood and implemented in
Region VII.
After years of partnership in training and resource
generation, the Industry Associations and TESDA, which was bound through a
Memorandum of Agreement has lapsed and a new partnership scheme evolved.
As of this writing, the Industry Associations which have
contributed to the growth of TESDA have located itself in other areas to
provide better access to other Government Agencies such as DTI, DOST and DOLE and other NGOs to its support services.

THE NETWORK OF MEMBERS
The members will be invited and briefed on the new method
of organizational operations.
All reports will
be uploaded in the net and officers be given password to access information on
developments of ASAI
As a start this note is posted in www.asaicebu.blogspot.com
Next steps
1. Draft
a news item for ASAI
2. Get
a radio or tv interview regarding developments in ASAI
3. Inform
as many members as we can
4. Inform
as many graduates for recognition of skills and achievement
The main purpose is
to get as many people to know that ASAI is now back. Second, is for the
graduates to have an alumni homecoming, third. we want to know if there are
areas that ASAI still needs to respond to . This will give us a clean slate to
start anew the new and revitalized ASAI.
ASAI TRAINING SCHEME
ASAI
TRAINING SCHEME
The
New ASAI is basically an information sharing team. This is based on the concept
of learning and application of knowledge in the performance of skills and
competencies in the automotive industry.
Standards
of performance of automotive workers are usually based on the Philippine
National Skills Standards under the TESDA Trainng Regulations for the
Automotive trade. Under the new scheme of learning at ASAI, an automotive
skilled worker becomes a technician whose major competence is searching for
knowledge through the net and discussions with supervisors. Discussing with the
supervisors on how a job is to be done and apply the correct procedures is a
major step in the process. It is important that a technician performs 100% quality
work to ensure costumer satisfaction of the performance of the service center.
The
training scheme starts from the intent, need and passion to share information,
knowledge and skills of the owner or management of an automotive service
center. This intent can be translated into action to conduct a work-based
learning program inside the work place
under the processes of the Department of Labor and Employment, Technology -
driven system of DOST. Likewise, the Industry standards of the Department of
Trade and Industry and competency-based
system of TESDA be applied in the Technician learning scheme of ASAI
The interested
ASAI member shall be encouraged to become a training venue for one specific
area of core competency, such as perform diesel engine tune-up.
Another
ASAI member may allow to be the training venue for gas engine tune-up. And a
third member can be a venue for auto electrical ignition system. Until all the
core competencies can have a training and assessment venue. The ASAI Technical
Management team shall track the progress of each learner and how the trainee performs
in the training venue as per core competency listed in the TESDA training
regulations.
This
means that the network of venues of ASAI can contribute to the development of
worker technician of specific competencies.

An ASAI
member company may opt to accept 2 or 3 trainees based on the request of the trainees
where it is perceived that the learner needs further learning.
As
each competency can be learned in a few hours, a learner may not stay beyond
the prescribed training hours in an ASAI venue as per TESDA Training
Regulations and competency accomplishment chart of ASAI
It
is also important to note that the basic
and common competencies can be acquired outside of a training venue under the
recognition of prior learning scheme and dual training system approaches.

The ASAI
training center can be the central information system hub where the learner
makes a self-assessment of skills and competencies acquired in the training
venues and outside of the workstation.
This
system is ASAI industry –based and can run parallel in a school-based or
center-based system of instruction. This system, however, is superior in
approach to training and higher competency acquisition in view of the
availability of shop floor trainors with specific and limited time of training
engagement.
