Senior High School TVL – Caregiving NC II
According to the Department of Education, the Senior High School Technical–Vocational–Livelihood (TVL) Track equips learners with industry-aligned competencies based on TESDA training regulations, enabling them to enter the workforce, start micro-enterprises, or pursue further education upon graduation. At Liceo de Davao, we expand this vision by weaving compassionate leadership and community service into our Home Economics Strand. Our Caregiving NC II specialization not only trains students in essential healthcare skills but also instills values of empathy, integrity, and cultural sensitivity—preparing graduates to serve families, institutions, and communities with professionalism and heart.
