LINGAYEN, Pangasinan June 23 (PIA) – Determined to generate more jobs for youth and indigent Pangasinenses, the provincial government here will soon hire government interns in its different offices under the Government Internship Program (GIP).

On Monday, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan here passed a resolution authorizing Governor Amado Espino, Jr. to enter into and sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)-Regional Office 1 for the implementation of the GIP in Pangasinan.

The resolution, authored by Board Member Generoso Tulagan, Jr., said the internship program will give an opportunity for Pangasinense-applicants, who should at least be high school or technical vocational graduates and unemployed college graduates aging 18-25 years old, to obtain work experience in government office.

Tulagan said in order to implement the internship program in the province, the board authorized the governor to enter into an agreement to set forth the duties and obligations of the provincial government and DOLE.

Espino will sign the MOA with Grace Ursua, regional director of DOLE-Regional Office 1.

Under the guidelines of GIP, DOLE will provide technical support to the provincial government, monitor the progress of the program implementation and provide forms and templates for the implementation of the internship program.
