The agreement aims to achieve competencies within the first 2 years of the MOA’s effectiveness.
In a LinkedIn article released by CyberQ Group, CEO-APAC Mr. Roberto Tayag stated, “Cybersecurity is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. Through this partnership with TESDA, we aim to build a more cyber-aware and cyber-resilient Philippines by equipping trainers and students with the skills needed to defend against evolving threats.” (https://hubs.li/Q035KC4x0)
