CEBU CITY – The Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE)-Region VII, in a meeting on October 21, strengthened its
partnership with the Cebu City government to support initiatives for youth career
development and livelihood for community workers.
DOLE-7 regional director, Atty. Roy Buenafe with
the Department of Education--Schools Division of Cebu City (DepEd-SDCC) and the
Cebu City Public Employment Service Office (PESO), launched the Career
Development Support Program (CDSP) for Grades 10 and 12 students.
Buenafe bared that DOLE-7, DepEd-SDCC with Schools
Division Superintendent Dr. Nimfa Bongo and Cebu City-PESO with Mayor Nestor
Archival signed the memorandum of agreement on October 10, making Cebu City the
first local government unit (LGU) in the country to implement the program
locally.
“I commend Cebu City’s proactive move to
empower the PESO to ensure that career guidance and employment readiness reach
every learner where it matters most, at the community level. This initiative reflects our commitment to
building a future-ready workforce starting with today’s youth,” Buenafe said. (Photos: DOLE7)
Under the CDSP, the Cebu City PESO will lead
activities on career coaching, labor market orientation, and employability
skills training to help young learners make informed choices and prepare for
future work opportunities, Buenafe added.
In similar developments, DOLE-7 and the Cebu
City Government also joined forces for the “PasiLimpyo NA!” project under the
Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged Workers (TUPAD) program.
Buenafe and Archival had a comprehensive discussion
on how to institutionalize the clean-up project to maintain cleanliness in Cebu’s
coastal areas. This means that aside from
50 TUPAD workers initially hired for the said project, an additional 20 TUPAD
beneficiaries are deployed in three phases to conduct a coastal cleanup and
solid waste removal at the mouth of the Guadalupe River in Sitio Mahayahay,
Pasil, Cebu City. (Photos: DOLE7)
