Gonzales Memorial School of Arts and Trades (JZGMSAT) as part of the ISEC Project: "Leaving No One Behind – Improving Skills and Economic Opportunities for the Bangladesh Community and Rohingya Women and Youth in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh." The project aims to economically empower Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) youth, women, and other vulnerable groups in the Cox’s Bazar district of Bangladesh.

The benchmarking activity focused on the Dual Training System (DTS), one of JZGMSAT’s training modalities that combines theoretical instruction with practical, onsite training. The visit highlighted the crucial role of private industry partners in providing employment opportunities.

Among the facilities toured were the Internet of Things (IoT) Laboratory, Mechatronics Workshop, Automotive Workshop, Solar-Powered Coffee Shop, and Tourism Sector workshops.

The Bangladesh delegation, led by Dr. Gazi Md. Saifuzzaman, Director General of the Department of Youth Development, Ministry of Youth and Sports, and Ms. Ruchika Bahl, Chief Technical Adviser for ILO Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, was warmly welcomed by CALABARZON Regional Director Archie A.
