WELCOME TO
It started with a
Problem!
2003
The business industry was rocked by
migration of workers.
Worldwide demand for Filipino blue and
white collared workers suddenly surged ,
with attractive and irresistible job offers
abroad.
Among those badly hit was the
construction industry.
The Philippines has always
been a rich source of highly
skilled construction workers.
Training institutions for construction
related trades could not produce
the quality that the industry
needed.
After formal education, their graduates still
have to undergo another industry training
to fill the wide gap between what they
learned in school and what the
construction industry required.
The highly skilled workers in the market were
not products of formal training schools. They
were products of non-formal training under
the tutelage of their parents.
2004
Primary Structures Corporation
embarked on an ambitious
journey to actively train
construction workers for its
own needs.
The company, with the assistance
of Technical Education Skills and
Development Authority (TESDA),
developed a training curriculum
patterned from the academe but
tailored fit to the industry.
In three months, Primary
Structures Corporation
started its training for
Heavy Equipment
Operations, producing the
1st batch of lady Heavy
Equipment Operators in
Cebu.
Since then, Primary Structures Corporation has
developed, trained , and employed hundreds of
Drivers, Riggers, Light Equipment Tenders, Heavy
Equipment Operators, Masons, Carpenters,
Welders, and other construction related trades.
2008
Primary
Structures
Educational
Foundation, Inc. (PSEFI), the training
arm
of
Primary
Structures
Corporation, was established.
A year after, it was certified by TESDA
as a training and assessment center for
all
Heavy
Equipment
Operation
qualification.
Since its founding, PSEFI has revolutionized the
technical training by forming combo courses which
bonded related trade course into one single course,
producing multi-skilled
graduates with better
employable skills, and breaking down long courses
to shorter but employable skills.
PSEFI is committed to
train and certify Filipino
workers to help build the
world today and
tomorrow!

Skills’ supply couldn’t meet market demand
Salaries keep going up
Social problems
Employment mismatch
Higher mortality during employer assessment
Competent but not-qualified workers
Qualified but incompetent workers
Local skills standard do not pass employers’ standard
When the global economy recovers the skilled workers
market would be worst than what we’ve seen in the past
