Tarlac State University College of Technology VISION The Vision of the College of Technology is to be the seat of technological dedication empowering individuals to be skillfully literate, knowledgeable and qualified manpower who are locally and globally competitive in the labor market. PHILOSOPHY The College is responsible on the development of human’s hidden potentials with the sense of creativity and resourcefulness with the application of relevant technology so as to become self-fulfilled, responsible and productive citizen. MISSION STATEMENT The primary concern of the College of Technology is to provide instruction and prepare efficient and effective skilled workers and technologists along technological field imbued with desirable work ethics, leadership skills, entrepreneurial capability and work competencies in response to the ever-changing demands for productivity organizations and other skilled services both in the government and private sectors. GOALS The College adopts the following goals embraced by the different curricular offerings: 1. To develop quality skilled technicians, paraprofessionals, mentors and technologists as agents in attaining the national objectives (NIC-hood status): & 2. To elevate the morale of manual labor by educating the youth with quality technological education and skills development. OBJECTIVES The College of Technology of the Tarlac State University aims to develop skilled technicians, paraprofessionals. Entrepreneurs, mentors and technologists who: 1. Understand the national goals and objectives on development demanded by modernization, and 2. Equip with knowledge and skills necessary for technical-vocational instruction, entrepreneurship, and industrial and service shop management. 3. Obtain adequate industrial training and seminars for the enhancement of technical capabilities in the preparation for employment. 4. Possess desirable work attitude leading to the attainment of high productivity of carry-on the socio-economic thrust of the government. 5. Capable of conducting research study and apply new knowledge for the improvement of academic programs as well as the individual’s life. Have the interest in doing extension services to help improve people’s lifestyles.
