Who We Are 

The Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) is a non-profit organization established by the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) in 1966.

Founded in 1965, SEAMEO is a chartered international organization whose purpose is to promote cooperation in education, science and culture in the Southeast Asian region. Its highest policymaking body is the SEAMEO Council, which comprises the Ministers of Education of the 11 Southeast Asian countries.

The Center derives its juridical personality from the SEAMEO Charter and possesses full capacity to contract; acquire, and dispose of, immovable and movable property; and institute legal proceedings. Moreover, SEARCA enjoys in the territory of each of its member states such privileges and immunities as are normally accorded United Nations institutions. Representatives of member states and officials of the Center shall similarly enjoy such privileges and immunities in the Philippines as are necessary for the exercise of their functions in connection with SEARCA and SEAMEO.

SEARCA has embraced the rhythms of change. Its Tenth Five-Year Plan (FYP) has directed SEARCA to move away from "business-as-usual" strategy as it no longer suffices in coping with the increasing complexities, uncertainties, and nonlinearities of its constantly changing environment. The "new normal" conditions in Southeast Asia compels SEARCA and all of its key partners to initiate anew a paradigm shift towards accelerating transformation through agricultural innovation (ATTAIN) in its Eleventh FYP.

SEARCA Priority Areas:

1. Agri-Business Models for Increased 
2. Productivity and Income
3. Sustainable Farming Systems and Natural Resource Management
4. Food and Nutrition Security
5. Transformational Leadership for Agricultural and Rural Development (ARD)
6. Gender and Youth Engagement in ARD
7. Enhanced ARD towards Climate Resilience

This test unit measures the ability to identify patterns and inconsistencies in visual representations of data

With the vast information employees need to process and retain every day, attention to detail becomes a critical skill to have because of the efficiency it gives. Also, because thorough employees have more initiative to understand the cause and not just the effect, they do less of the unnecessary rework and produce more complete output. This test measures ability to identify patterns and inconsistencies in visual representations of data.

Attention to Detail

This test unit measures the ability to be brief and concise in written communication by avoiding redundancies

Efficient communication is effective communication. The more direct and accurate the message is, the clearer and the faster it gets to the receiver with little to no misinterpretation. And because businesses have more important tasks to do than read long-winded text or documents, hiring employees with this skill is a smart choice. This test measures the ability of the candidate to compose concise communication.
