Industry skills training
PTRI provides technical training to help produce a high-quality, skilled workforce in the textile and garment industry and allied micro, small, and medium-scale enterprises to ensure reliable and efficient work performance, production, and increased employment. The Institute extends technical support and expert assistance on manpower and skills development programs of DOST, the Department of Trade and Industry, and other government and non-government agencies for countryside development.
Upon request, the Institute conducts in-house seminars and workshops on textile and textile-related training courses for reasonable fees or sends experts to the regions under the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program of DOST.
Actual production machineries are used during the in-house courses and/or on-the-job training on textile processing and quality assurance.
The training courses, based on continuous Training Needs Analysis, have significantly contributed to improved production and quality of textiles, decreased unemployment rate of the country, and generation of additional dollar earnings.
