COTABATO CITY, Mar. 20 (PIA) -- Some 1,411 jobs are available for students and out-of-school youth across the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao courtesy of the Department of Labor and Employment.
DOLE-ARMM Secretary Muslimin Jakilan said the program is open to all qualified high school, college or vocational course students and out-of-school youth living in areas covered by Health, Education, Livelihood, Peace and Governance, and Synergy (ARMM-HELPS) program.
“We prioritize those students who most need summer jobs,” Jakilan stated.
The job offerings, he added, is part of the DOLE’s Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES), a flagship program designed to provide income opportunities to out-of-school youth and students from underprivileged families.
“We want to help the students and out-of-school youth to earn money that they can use to pay for next school year,” Jakilan further said.
Registration of employment applicants has already started and will end in the last week of March. Students will work for a period of 25 days.
Student applicants should bring birth certificate, barangay clearance, certification by the school registrar or Form 138 or original class card, certificate of good moral character, and parent’s income tax return, which shows an annual income not exceeding P85,000.
For an out-of-school youth applicant, a certificate of good moral character issued by his/her barangay will be required.
Applicants may visit DOLE-ARMM’s regional office at the ARMM Compound in Cotabato City or labor department offices in their respective provinces.
In 2018, DOLE-ARMM has earmarked P3.8 million for the program. Under the SPES, the Labor department shoulders 40 percent of the salary of the beneficiaries, while the employers – government agencies, such as local government units, and private companies as well as other sponsor institutions – pay the 60%.
