Cotabato
City (March 14, 2018) – The Department of Labor and Employment in the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DOLE-ARMM) has announced 1,411 summer
jobs currently available for students and out-of-school youth across the
region.
Secretary
Muslimin Jakilan of DOLE-ARMM 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, a development convergence initiative of the
regional government covering 553 recipient barangays.
“We
prioritize those students who most need summer jobs,” Sec. Jakilan said adding
that the drive 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 during summer,
or Christmas break.
He
said the DOLE-ARMM has earmarked P3.8 million for the program. Under the SPES,
the Labor department shoulders 40% of the salaries 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%.
“We
want to help the students and out-of-school youth to earn money, which they can
use to pay for next school year,” he said. The registration for employment
applicants has already started and will end in the last week of March. Students
will work for a period of 25 days.
A
student applicant is required to submit the following: birth certificate;
barangay clearance; certification by the school registrar, or Form 138, or
original class card; certificate of good moral character; and parents’ 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.
Secretary
Jakilan said applicants may visit DOLE-ARMM’s regional office at the ARMM
Compound in Cotabato City, or the Labor department offices in their respective
provinces. (Bureau of Public Information)
