The head or large blue dot represents Filipino skilled workers. The body or three lines connected in the center represent the base of the technical and professional training system (TVET), that is, private training institutions, industry and government.

The entire logo, made up of the human figure surrounded by a gear-like image, signifies that by focusing on manpower development, we will enable industrial progress.

According to its official website, the institution was enacted as the Skills Development and Technical Education Act of 1994 or Republic Act No. offers school-based, center-based, community-based, and company-based programs.
