TSC Will Train Teachers for One Week; Schools Will Choose OCS
The TSC will begin one week of teacher training; schools will select OCS. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is preparing to begin a one-week training program for teachers in charge of offering career help in their respective schools.
A TSC memo mandating them to assist school administrators in establishing an Office of Career Services (OCS) within their schools has already gotten positive feedback from a number of TSC County Directors.
As part of this initiative, schools must nominate a teacher to direct the Office of Career Services.
Following selection, these teachers, now known as OCS coordinators, will participate in TSC-led training sessions in their respective counties.
TSC sent a memo to all County Directors on August 16, 2023, with the title “Office of Career Services” and the reference number TSC/DQAS/MEMOS/CD/40/VOLII/89.
CAREER SERVICES OFFICE
The State Department for Labour and Skills Development is in charge of overseeing the development of skills across a variety of industries, as well as creating and maintaining the institutional structure that links industrial skill development and training, according to Executive Order No. 1 of 2021.
In accordance with its mandate, the Department is committed to promoting career guidance in order to reduce skill gaps, improve the transition from school to work, increase employability, promote labor mobility, and reintegrate vulnerable and marginalized groups into educational and labor market services.
To achieve this purpose, the Department established Offices of Career Services (OCS) and a National Policy Framework.
As a result, numerous universities, national polytechnics, technical vocational schools, and basic and secondary educational institutions have formed Career Services Offices (OCS).
You must make the following arrangements as a result of this communication:
 Establish an Office of Career Service at each of your institutions, and appoint a teacher to oversee OCS activities.
The approved curriculum Community Service Learning (CSL) program is taught.
This instruction should be communicated to all institution managers, and any comments should be sent by the County Directors’ office by September 10, 2023.
