1,826 Bacoleños benefit from SPES
The City Public Employment and Services Office (PESO) recorded 1,826 youths in the city who will be benefiting from Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES) this summer.
City PESO head, Moises de la Cruz said these 1,826 will be assigned in their respective barangays to do surveys, skills map and manpower pooling. There are 500 and 1, 326 of them will be working for 22 and 15 days, respectively.
Mr. de la Cruz also said SPES is a program of Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) that aims to develop the intellectual capabilities of out-of-school-youths to update the skills map and labor force inventory.
“This program allows the students to work this summer, so they can have the money for their enrollment in the opening of classes”, de la Cruz said.
Mayor Evelio “Bing” Leonardia said this program of the national government is really beneficial to our students. “Not only the program will help harness their potentials towards industrialization, this will also provide them with income to subsidize their studies’, Leonardia added.
The 1,826 will undergo orientation this afternoon, April 8 at the BAYS Center for their summer jobs that will start April 12.
