Abstract

This article highlights how science underpins the core skills taught in Technical-Vocational (TechVoc) education in the Philippines, particularly in mechanics, food safety, and electronics. By connecting theory to hands-on practice, students not only acquire technical expertise but also develop a deeper understanding of scientific principles, making them safer, more efficient, and more effective in their future professions.
