On April 6, 2026, Tiaong, Quezon, inaugurated its first Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) center located in San Manuel Homes, Barangay Lagalag. The center's pilot course, Welding NC1 (National Certificate 1), has enrolled 21 students who will undergo 34 days of training. Charie Pagcaliwangan, the school officer-in-charge, expressed satisfaction with the interest shown by local youth, including one female student. Each participant will receive a daily allowance of ₱150 (approximately $2.70 USD) upon course completion. The mayor also announced plans to introduce additional courses in massage therapy and electrical installation. He encouraged out-of-school youth to seize the educational opportunities offered by TESDA, emphasizing the demand for skilled workers abroad. The TESDA center was established in a renovated building funded by the local government, which will also cover instructor salaries until TESDA funding is secured.
