The Commission on Higher Education’s International Affairs Service (CHED IAS) recently concluded a successful Onboarding Session for Project Technical Staff III (PTS III) from August 28 to 30, 2024. The event aimed to equip the PTS III with the necessary knowledge and tools to support the CHED’s internationalization agenda effectively.

The PTS III plays a crucial role in assisting the designated CHED Regional IZN Focal Persons on Internationalization in implementing various internationalization projects, such as the Transnational Higher Education (TNHE) initiatives and the National Center for Academic Information and Mobility (NCAIM). Their contributions are vital to the success of these programs and the achievement of the CHED’s internationalization goals.

The Onboarding Session was meticulously designed to achieve three key objectives. First, it aimed to provide the PTS IIIs with a thorough understanding of the programs and projects managed by the CHED IAS, ensuring they are well-informed and aligned with the strategic objectives. Second, the session sought to establish clear expectations for the PTS III on how they will integrate into and enhance the processes of the CHED IAS, while also outlining the support and guidance they can expect from the CHED IAS to facilitate their success. Finally, the session fostered a sense of camaraderie and cooperation among the CHED IAS staff members and the PTS III through interactive group activities and exercises that promote teamwork and problem-solving skills.

The session was met with positive feedback from the participants, who valued the opportunity to gain deeper insights into the CHED IAS and its programs. The interactive activities proved beneficial in fostering connections with their colleagues and the CHED IAS staff.

The CHED IAS is optimistic that this Onboarding Session will significantly contribute to building a cohesive and effective team capable of driving the CHED’s internationalization agenda forward. The PTS III are now better equipped to support the CHED Regional IZN Focal Persons on Internationalization and contribute to the success of the various internationalization projects.

The CHED IAS extends its gratitude to all the participants for their active engagement and enthusiasm throughout the Onboarding Session. The CHED IAS also acknowledges the invaluable support of the CHED Regional Offices in facilitating the participation of the PTS III.
