EDC's tech-voc school is Region 8's best anew

For the second year in a row, the Kananga EDC Institute of Technology (KEITECH), the technical vocational school established by geothermal leader Energy Development Corporation (EDC), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and the municipal government of Kananga, Leyte, received the Kabalikat Award for being the best among TESDA's institutional partners in Region 8.

TESDA cited KEITECH, which offers training programs in construction, tourism, and health and other services, for its exemplary contribution in the advancement of technical-vocational education and training in the country.

KEITECH has so far produced 530 graduates since 2009, 92% of whom are already employed here and abroad. It has also consistently maintained a 100% assessment rate in TESDA's National Certification.
