MESSAGES
Human capital development is crucial for the competitiveness of any economy. It helps increase and sustain the
productivity of industries as we advance towards our goal of becoming an industrialized nation.
With the facilitation of the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC), the Philippine Skills Framework (PSF) on Human
Capital Development has been developed by the HR industry not only for their own industry, but to benefit other
industries as well. It will strengthen the HR development capabilities of stakeholders in addressing the mismatch
between education and industry requirements in this era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and as we navigate our
way to sustaining our economic gains in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The PSF can guide education and training institutions in crafting human resource development curricula that is
responsive to the different job roles to support the growth of industries and workers. Moreover, individuals would be
able to make better decisions for HR career options. Likewise, this can be a handy reference for businesses in their HR
management functions in order to attract and sustain talents that are ready for the 4th IR.
As referenced from the Singapore Skills Framework, contextualized by selected Filipino HR experts, and therefore HR
industry-validated, the PSF has skills documents for the following tracks: People analytics and technology, HR Business
Partner, Labor Relations, Performance and Rewards, Talent Attraction and Talent Management, Employee Engagement
and Experience, and Learning and Organizational Development.
With our dreams for a brighter and prosperous future, we look forward to an environment that will prepare our HR
practitioners and managers to be well-equipped for the demands of the industries as a responsive and competent
workforce.
Mabuhay po kayo!

Department of Trade and Industry
The Memorandum of Understanding signed between Singapore and the Philippines, Skills Future Singapore and, DTI and
TESDA as Singapore and Philippine signatories respectively, on Skills Development cooperation in 2019 has scaled. With the
Project Direction Unit assigned to the DTI – Philippine Trade Training Center, we deemed it appropriate to also develop Skills
Frameworks on Business Functions that we are mandated to develop and deliver. This is going beyond the sectoral skills
framework that we identified to develop when 10 government agencies signed the MOU in 2020.
The Business Functions are cross-sectoral and the Singapore Skills Framework doesn’t have all these yet – Business
Development, Human Capital Development, Operations Management and Business Management, Financial Management
and Accounting, Information Management. But as a Global MSME Academy that we are, mandated to develop the skills
frameworks for the said Business Functions, we need to level up our curriculum and modules to help our MSMEs become
globally competitive.
The experience of Singapore in the Skills Framework was very helpful in this journey, unpacking from the existing frameworks
documents that are useful.
Thus, in 2021, PTTC launched the first-ever cross sectoral skills framework for Business Development with sub-tracks
Marketing and Sales and Partnership. This was prioritized because the marketing activities and business processes drastically
changed resulting from the restrictions brought about by the pandemic and the need for MSMEs to go digital and use
technology.
This time, we are introducing the Human Capital Development and the skills documents that can be used by Filipino Human
Resources (HR) practitioners, business owners, educators, students, labor associations and career-driven Filipinos who are
captured in this e-book.
This is a very credible reference document that can help in individual career planning, school curricula development and
organizational strategic planning. The PSF-HCD allows Filipinos to grow and achieve milestones in their respective careers,
thereby contributing to higher productivity in their respective organizations, which in turn, impact Philippine industries. It
also facilitates collaboration of PTTC with institutions to co-develop, improve and adopt the PSF, as well as to utilize the PSFs
for programs that contribute to the development of our country’s greatest capital, the Filipino workforce.
Congratulations to all stakeholders for their commitment and sharing of valuable years of expertise in the development of
this PSF for Human Capital Development Version 1.0.
In the PSF- HCD, we were able to improve and further refine the methodology that we have developed in creating
the skills frameworks. From the study and review of the Singapore Skills Framework, we segued to the formation of
the different teams to harness specific capabilities. We then embarked on the contextualization phase to transform
the Singapore Skills Framework to the Philippine Skills Framework, harnessing the knowledge and know-how of the
Contextualizers. The validation stage involved Validators, who are Human Capital/People experts, to verify and ratify
the work of the Contextualizers. The integration that followed consolidated all the efforts until the final launch phase.
This cross sectoral skills framework featured the participation of Human Capital or People or Human Resources
professionals, who are key figures in the efforts to train, specifically re-skill and upskill the members of the workforce.
For enterprises and other organizations, they perform vital roles of planning, training, nurturing and developing the
talents of people. The group of Contextualizers paid painstaking attention to the harmonization of the various job
roles identified in the tracks, seeing to it that they formed a cohesive progression and alignment. The lively discussions
during the Validation Workshops were the result of the numerous questions, suggestions, and comments of the
engaged Validators who had a fine eye for detail, aside from their appreciation of the larger picture.
The resuting cross-sectoral PSF for Human Capital Development has a wider reach than industry-specific skills
frameworks, since it spans all industries and addresses the main exponent of skilling and training in organizations. All
organizations have an HR Department, regardless of the number of people it contains. It is our hope that this PSF for
HCD is a catalyst for the greater realization of the value of the skills frameworks and its implementation to develop the
country’s workforce . Once again, we are humbled and honored to be a part of this endeavor.
The Philippine Skills Framework (PSF) Initiative is a Philippine government inter-agency effort to build the skills and
competencies of the country’s human capital and to better prepare the workforce for the future economy, particularly
for Industry 4.0. The PSF Initiative’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by ten departments and
agencies, namely, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on Higher
Education (CHED), Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), Department of Information and Communications
Technology (DICT), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Tourism (DOT), and the
Department of Agriculture (DA). The PSF Initiative prioritizes the construction, creatives, food (agriculture and fishery),
health and wellness, IT-BPM (Information Technology and Business Process Management), logistics and supply chain,
manufacturing, and tourism industries.
The Philippine Skills Framework for Human Capital Development (PSF-HCD) is an endeavor developed for the
Philippine workforce of all industries to address skills mastery and continuous learning in the cross-sectoral function of
Human Capital Development. It is a collaborative development effort initiated and spearheaded by the Philippine Trade
Training Center together with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, Department of Labor and
Employment, the Thames International Business School, and Accelebator SG, and in cooperation with the stakeholders
of the Philippine Human Resources field — employers, practitioners, industry associations, particularly the People
Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP), education and training providers, and unions.
The seven tracks of the PSF-HCD consist of (1) HR Business Partner, (2) Operations and Technology, (3) Talent
Attraction and Management, (4) Labor Relations, (5) Learning and Organization Management, (6) Performance and
Rewards, and (7) Employee Engagement and Experience. These verticals were chosen by the Philippine Human
Resources Experts, with the Singaporean Resource Persons and Philippine Consultants after thoroughly reviewing the
Philippine human capital development function, and comparing it with that of Singapore. It was a judgment call made
after a thorough conduct of studies, desk research, and review. The PSF methodology consisted of the referencing
of the Singapore Skills Framework, and formation of the various teams. Then the contextualization by Filipino subject
matter experts, the contextualizers, was done to adapt it to the Philippine industry scenarios. After, the validators — HR
subject matter experts from the various stakeholders of the Philippine industry — practitioners, members of industry
associations, government, and academe — worked together to ascertain the validity of the draft PSF-HCD framework
to local best practices. After several drafts and the concurrence of the government representatives, consultants, and
resource persons, the PSF-HCD Version 1.0 was created, approved, and finally launched on May 6, 2022.
The Skills Framework for Human Capital Development provides useful information on:
Importance of PSF-HCD:
Employers can assess their manpower requirements, adapt or modify the standard guidelines for work performance, key
tasks, skills and competencies, for purposes of recruitment and selection, hiring, job rotation, and promotion.
Organizations can create training programs to address skills gaps as well as training for the acquisition and upgrading of
skills and competencies. Education and training institutions to educate students and learners about the sector as well as
make curricula for the facilitation of learning of required skills and competencies that are more aligned to industry needs.
Individuals are equipped to make informed decisions about career choices, as well as take responsibility for skills upgrading
and career planning. They can assess their career interests; find avenues to close skills gaps; and renew, upgrade, and
deepen skills with the quality programs offered by training institutions or academe that are guided by the PSF-HCD.
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the glaring effects to all affected sectors. One of the impacts brought by the
health crisis is the immense unemployment and workforce downsizing from different industries. Employees whose
skills were not ready to answer the call for a rapid pivot of the organization were reskilled, upskilled, or worse, got
laid-off in order for employers to keep their businesses afloat. This health crisis is a wake-up call for everyone —
government, industries, and private sector — to keep an inclusive effort to fast track the development of our Filipino
human capital agenda.
As we move towards more advanced automation, digitalization and expanded innovation, more jobs, tasks, and skills
are redefined. Skills development is essential not only in moving the country towards industry 4.0, but also in enhancing
the quality of life of Filipinos. Imagine a worker whose skills set can answer the demands of the growing market and
potential employers. Having a ready set of skills, knowledge, values, degree of independence and qualifications will
enable the worker’s mobility to be fluid as he or she has displayed a certain level of learning outcomes that is primarily
recognized and being sought after by the market.
As part of the validation panel, the People Management Association of the Philippines is honored to be given the
opportunity to share our decades long experience in the practice of the Human Resources profession in the crafting
of the Philippine Skills Framework for Human Capital Development (PSF-HCD). Now more than ever, we need to uplift
the status of the HR professionals and the importance of the role they play in organizations, as gleaned during the
COVID-19 pandemic. It therefore becomes imperative to hasten and strategically provide technical assistance to the
initiatives undertaken by the national government and other concerned stakeholders through the crafting, approval,
and eventual adoption of the PSF-HCD.
Organizations are gearing toward maximizing the so-called triple Bottom Line (BL) + 1 (Planet, People, Profit +
Purpose). The triple bottom line is a business concept that posits firms should commit to measuring their social and
environmental impact—in addition to their financial performance—rather than solely focusing on generating profit, or
the standard “bottom line” (Miller, 2020). The fourth bottom line provides a means to measure, value, and assess the
addition of culture, spirituality, and faith in reporting. It adds navigation of important goals without compromising core
values (Sood and Tulchin, 2014).
Maximization requires a robust way of measurement to ensure organizational excellence and efficiency.
The first BL, our planet: there are solid attempts to put a playbook for the ways to measure
the planet bottom line as 93% of the world’s largest 250 companies and 75% of the top 100
companies in 49 countries report on sustainability (The Road Ahead. The KPMG Survey of
Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2017). In the Philippines, the SEC issued the Sustainability
Reporting Guidelines for Publicly Listed Companies in 2019.
Planet
The third BL, the profit: (don’t look back, I skipped the second BL for a reason). There are
countless frameworks from astute businessmen, management gurus, and financial experts
on how to measure the profit bottom line. I am pretty sure you are aware of what income
statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows are.
The fourth BL, the purpose: as the newest dimension in the 3+1 BL, the exact way to measure
this bottom line is not yet uniform in expression. Prime movers of organizations will eventually
Profit agree on the scope for objective measurement of the purpose BL, which will include culture
and/or spirituality.
And now, the second BL, our people: I put the second BL as the last one to write about because
this is where the use of PSF-HCD falls.
We currently measure the people BL through the numbers we yield in attraction, retention,
attrition, and engagement and satisfaction surveys. A new wave of people BL measurement in
Purpose terms of happiness quotient is slowly becoming popular among organizations and nations as well.
Jenn Lim in her 2021 book, Beyond Happiness, identified CONTROL, PROGRESS, and
CONNECTEDNESS (belonging) as the levers of scientific happiness. Employers (ER) and
Employees (EE) look at Human Resources (HR) or Human Capital Development (HCD) or People
as a function to provide happiness. The HR role holders are humans, too. They, too, need to be
happy. They cannot give what they do not have. The PSF-HCD will provide HR practitioners with
the control, progress, and belonging they need to be happy. Through the PSF-HCD, ER can ensure
People that the people holding the role to ensure the happiness of EE are also happy. We want our
people to be happy because happy people bring the (happy) results we need.

I appreciate the significant input of all the Validators during the validation period and the Betty Ann C. Tan
endless support of our Singaporean counterparts and our Project Manager and Scribes in
bringing the framework to life.
Working as a validator for the PSF-HCD project was a tough but fulfilling
experience. Collectively, our experiences as People Managers and HR experts
were woven together by some notable people in the industry in order to form
a uniquely Filipno point of view (POV) on what our practice is and should
be. What was particularly interesting was how diverse and complimentary our
skillsets were — there was no singular POV that was focused on —which allowed
for what I believe is a truly rich conversation. I enjoin anyone to view this project with
Franz Magallanes as much excitement as we did, knowing that the experts that worked on this are and
continue to be at the forefront of People Management.
I feel grateful and honored to have been part of the Philippine Skills Framework
- Human Capital Project as a validator. It was a pleasure to discuss ideas,
share thoughts and insights, and learn from very passionate people in the field
of human capital development. It was a great honor to be in the company of
practitioners, professionals, professors and experts in crafting the Philippine Skills
Framework which I hope will help people and greatly impact the future of human
capital development in the Philippines.

This technical guide provides a brief on how to use the PSF-HCD to establish performance requirements by human
resource practitioners. It also gives educators a handle on how to use the PSF to develop curriculum outlines for
subsequent development of training programs. More information will be provided through industry engagement sessions.
Part 1
Establish Performance Requirements for Job Roles
How can a human resource practitioner utilize the Philippine Skills Framework for hiring, training,
and developing performance requirements and identifying skills gaps?
In an ever-changing and fast-paced economy, establishing performance requirements, abilities, and skills for job
roles is essential. Utilizing the PSF will help an organization have a systematic process that can be used to identify
candidates or applicants and match their abilities to job requirements to demonstrate their fit for the job. Moreover,
by using the PSF, one can build a robust talent selection foundation wherein your organization can reap benefits
that will drive organizational success. On the other hand, organizing proper training and development sessions for
employees must also be done for them to acquire new skills, sharpen existing ones, and become better leaders to
ensure relevance of skills currently needed by the industry and for the future economy.
Identify Identify
Critical work functions and key tasks of job role Functional and enabling skills and competencies
of a given organization context required to address given critical work functions
and related key tasks
It is important to be able to identify critical work functions and key tasks of a given job role of specific organizational
context. After, it is then essential to identify the Functional Skills and Competencies (FSC) and Enabling Skills and
Competencies (ESC) required to address given critical work functions and related key tasks.

Requirement
To be able to gather critical job information for defining job roles, you first need to review how to establish targeted
jobs by means of identifying what job roles are needed in a certain organization. Knowing the actual employments
needs ensures a positive outcome that can help an employer find a suitable candidate, and reach short-term and
long-term company goals.
This analysis process can be supported with the use of the Career Map, which forms the first important document of the PSF.
The Career Map provides various information: industry sector, sub-sectors or tracks, job grades; and the job roles
themselves. In this case, the industry is the People (Human Capital). The seven sub-sectors that are depicted as seven
verticals are HR Business Partner; Labor Relations; HR Operations & Technology; Performance & Rewards; Talent
Attraction & Talent Management; Employee Engagement & Experience; and Learning & Organization Development. The
horizontal bands represent the job grades or occupations. From top to bottom, they represent 1) Management; 2) Head;
3) Manager; 4) Specialist; 5) Associate job or occupational grades. Within the Career Map are the different job roles and
their equivalents within the various tracks. The arrows show how someone can move between the job roles (horizontal
mobility) and vertical arrows show vertical progression.

Requirement
As an employer, you need to profoundly evaluate the skills and performance abilities of the person you are planning to
hire. His/Her skills and experiences must be aligned to the job role needed. Determining the performance requirements
for a job role are helpful because they provide a clear understanding of what the duties and responsibilities for a
particular position are. This is helpful not just for applicants interested in the role, but also for management to better
determine the actions needed to achieve organizational goals.
Using the skills map as a guide and by looking at the job role, one will be able to identify the position needed; aligning
with the job role description provided, these can become useful communication tools to tell employees exactly what
tasks you expect them to perform. Hiring managers, can use the job description and contextualize it for their own
organization’s job requirements. The critical work functions and appropriate key tasks can be adapted for use in job
advertisements as well.
Select relevant Critical Work Functions and Key Tasks / Required Knowledge from the Skills Map for inclusion in the
job requirement determination template below.

Functions (CWF)
Expectation
Based on the relevant Critical Work Functions and Key Tasks, one can indicate the specific organizational performance
requirements or expectations. Appropriate or relevant functional and enabling skills and competencies can then be
selected from the list of FSCs and ESCs.
Step 3: Gather Critical Job Information for Specifying the Skills and Competency Requirement

Requirement
One needs to review the skills and competencies (FSCs and ESCs) to identify what is required to support the job
performance where the level of technical skills and competencies are also specified. Functional Skills and Competencies
(FSCs) are more technical in nature while Enabling Skills and Competencies (ESCs) are usually the core, critical,
essential, or soft skills, or what we call as Skills to Build Skills.

Communication (Basic)
Upon completion of the three steps, you would have successfully developed a well-defined and well-scoped job
requirement for a specific job role in your organization. This job requirement document can then be used for preparing
the job advertisement, preparing the selection process, and even for hiring purposes (e.g. preparing the employment
agreement). It can also be used by educators to develop industry- or company-specific training programs based on the
PSF.
Part 2
Develop a Program or Curriculum Outline from Skills Framework
The Philippine Skills Framework (PSF) is also especially useful for the academe to develop curricula and/or
realign existing curricula to industry requirements. The current best-practices of academe in developing industry-
relevant curricula are tedious–they usually involve a faculty team having to first develop the curricula based on
internal academic syllabus and teams, and then convening an industry panel to validate the curricula. The latter
process is very cumbersome, as many faculties do not have good industry connections. Even so, if every faculty
and academe were able to reach out to the industries, there might be engagement-fatigue experienced by the
industry stakeholders, and consequent hesitance, if not resistance. The PSF is designed to provide the industry
skills language academe can use to develop industry-aligned curricula, as the PSF directly communicates what the
industries are looking for. This significantly reduces time needed to develop industry-relevant curricula.
Create
a simple curriculum outline using the PSF reference documents
You can create a simple curriculum outline, and develop an expanded curriculum using the Philippine Skills Framework
as reference.
What is a curriculum?
It is necessary to first understand what a curriculum is. These are a collection of some of the more familiar definitions:
What is curriculum?
B C
D E
Basically, a curriculum is the combination of instructional practices, learning experiences, and students' performance
assessment designed to bring out and evaluate the target learning outcomes of a particular course. It is essential to
both teacher and student because it serves as the fundamental guide of the teacher to be able to teach and make his/
her target learners graduate with sufficient knowledge and skills that they can use in the future.

Requirement
The PSF documents can be used during the Analysis Phase of ADDIE to gather critical job information for curriculum
development. These documents provide curriculum designers with industry-relevant skills information. Similar to
how a human resource practitioner would use the Career Map and Skills Map to gather information of a specific job
role, a curriculum developer can make use of these documents to gather macro-perspectives of the job requirements
and decide how the entry and exit (graduate) requirements should look like. This is known as the learner profile and
graduate profile, respectively. The curriculum is expected to improve or enhance the profile of the learner.
Step 2: Decide What the Learner Will Become / Be Able to Perform as a Result of
Completing the Curriculum
Having determined the graduate profile of the learner, the FSC and ESC references can then be used to provide the vital
link between the industry and the academe. Curricula that meet the industry requirements will equip the graduates
with skills that match the needs of industry. The Proficiency Levels indicated in the Skills Map show the Level that the
learner is expected to possess after going through the curriculum for a specific FSC, such that he/she can perform the
task to expectation.
To help the Developer decide what the learner should become or graduate with, the following curriculum structure can
be used:
Determine level of proficiency What are the overall proficiency levels and FSC References
to be attained which qualification levels do they map to?
*The above features are only part of the entire curriculum structure
It is often helpful to use the A.B.C.D approach to scope the outcome/purpose of the curriculum:
A B C D
Audience
• Describes the intended learner or end user of the instruction
• The audience is often identified only in the first level because of redundancy
• Example: The human capital practitioner...
Behavior
• Describes learner capability
• Must be observable and measurable (you will define the measurement elsewhere in the goal)
• In the FSC document, it is the Skills Application statements
• The ‘behavior’ can include demonstration of knowledge or skills in any of the domains of learning: cognitive,
psychomotor, affective, or interpersonal
• Example: … should be able to write a report…
Condition or Context
• Equipment or tools that may (or may not) be utilized in completion of the behavior
• Environmental conditions may also be included
• Example: ... on the learning needs of the line managers ...
Degree
• States the standard for acceptable performance (time, accuracy, proportion, quality, etc)
• Example: ... accurately.
Here is what a completed outcome/purpose statement for the Digital Art and Animation Sector could look like:
STEP A STEP B
Refer to the relevant FSC reference Review the FSC Proficiency
document and locate the details of description of the desired
the competency reference competency and use the key words to
create a suitable module title
By referring to the relevant FSC reference document, the Developer can locate the details of competency statements.
These competencies are presented as six levels, from basic (1) to advanced (6). The Proficiency Level Descriptors
are the same descriptors as that of the Philippine Qualification Framework. This is to allow for subsequent ease of
articulation of PSF certifications to PQF qualifications.
The Developer should reference the Underpinning Knowledge (UK) and Skills Application (SA) statements from the
appropriate FSC and ESC Proficiency Levels. Note that since we are referring to competency-based programs, UKs
should always be supported by SAs. The UKs and SAs can be clustered according to the Developer’s formulation of the
learning outcomes.

Use the
keywords

a suitable
module title
Use the keywords to create a suitable module title. For instance, the word ‘gather’ has been used in the proficiency
description under Level 2. The proficiency descriptor draws similar parallel to the Blooms Taxonomy descriptors, hence
appropriate verbs (Blooms) can be selected to phrase the module title.
Here is an example using a module for Associate, Learning & Organization Development:
*The above features are only part of the entire curriculum structure

To develop a full set of curricula with the associated content requires much more resources and effort. Subject-matter-
expertise is required to cluster the UKs and SAs into meaningful outcomes with appropriate content. These will then
have to be constructively aligned with the assessment criteria to assess the knowledge and skills transfer. There could
also be articulation of modules in other programs to facilitate learning progression and mobility. All these are beyond
the scope of this Technical Guide. More training programs will be introduced to equip the various stakeholders with the
skills and knowledge to utilize the PSF to develop full sets of curricula and associated content.

The Philippine Skills Framework-Human Capital Development (PSF-HCD) is a collaborative effort of various sprint
teams under the helm of the Philippine Trade Training Center-Global MSME Academy in its effort to update and align its
Business Function Courses
The PSF-HCD was developed by referencing from various Singapore Skills Frameworks as there were no frameworks
specific for Business Functions. The development process involved selection of the initial draft documents, and on to
review, contextualization and validation.
PSF-HCD is a cross-sectoral framework that applies to any industry sector. Before this, PTTC-GMEA spearheaded the
development of the framework for Business Development (PSF-BDE), In the pipeline for development as this e-book is
published are the frameworks for Production and Operations Management and Business Management.
