THE Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has tied up with an academic start-up
to heighten student awareness on online jobs and help improve their decision-making with their parents in getting the right education for the careers they want.
“We are excited to be working with Edukasyon.ph in sharing with our thousands of senior high-school students the career information they need to get the right skills for the jobs,” Labor Secretary Silvestro H. Bello III said. “As early as now, we want our students to know the different job possibilities out there for their chosen career path.”
As per the partnership, the DOLE’s Philjobnet and Edukasyon.ph will be linking up their portal systems to jointly share school and job information with senior high-school students and parents.
Available employment opportunities can be found in the various professions listed at the Discover Careers section of Edukasyon.ph.
Edukasyon.ph Founder and CEO Henry Motte-Munoz said this alliance will help students explore all work opportunities related to their specific choice of course for college or senior high-school track.
“Job seekers will also be given a chance to know more about how they can be able to expand their opportunities by providing them with information about educational resources that are available for them,” he said.
