The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and Amazon are offering courses in cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI), according to a report by BusinessWorld Online.

TESDA is the Philippine government's lead agency for technical-vocational education and training. Established under the TESDA Act of 1994 (Republic Act No. 7796), the agency sets skills standards, oversees certification, and delivers training programs designed to prepare Filipino workers for employment at home and abroad.

Amazon provides its cloud computing services through Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the world's largest cloud providers. AWS maintains a broad portfolio of global skills initiatives, including AWS Skill Builder, AWS Academy, and AWS re/Start, a free training program aimed at preparing learners for entry-level cloud roles. In the Philippines, TESDA and AWS previously worked together in 2023 to make the AWS re/Start program available to Filipino learners; the newly reported offering extends the partnership's training scope to cover AI alongside cloud computing.

Cloud computing and AI rank among the most in-demand technology skills worldwide, and governments across Southeast Asia have increasingly partnered with global technology companies to expand digital skills training. The TESDA–Amazon offering places the Philippines' national training and certification system within that regional trend, giving learners a structured pathway into skills that employers across industries continue to seek. Further details on the TESDA–Amazon course offering can be found in the original report.
