BAGUIO CITY – A total of 100 JobStart Philippines beneficiaries from the city started their 10-day soft core skills training on Friday.
Michelle Agbuya, Public Employment Services Office-Baguio manager, said the training is to develop the behavior attitude and values of JobStart trainees which will enable them to plan better their career path and deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life and work.
JobStart Philippines is a program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) that aims to prepare young Filipinos for employment and does this by providing youth with career coaching, life skills and technical training and internship with employers.
"Partnering with the private sector, the program helps employers meet their manpower needs with well-prepared, talented, and enthusiastic young men and women," Agbuya said.
PESO Baguio, meanwhile, implements the program.
