“HANDOG SA MGA KABATAAN SA KANILANG PAGTATAPOS”
is a new program of the Department of Labor and Employment
(DOLE) which adopts a new strategy in providing employment
assistance to the 2008 graduates in the secondary and collegiate level.
This new strategy consolidates in one program package:
• the career advocacy/guidance and pre-employment counseling services
• the jobs fair component of the job search assistance services.
Part 1
THE PROGRAM
Department of Labor and EmploymentBUREAU OF LOCAL AND EMPLOYMENT
Handog derives from the traditional practice in the conduct of
job fair wherein jobs are offered to the applicants/jobseekers in
“smorgasboard” manner, i.e. all job vacancies are announced in
one venue. Under the new approach, a job fair by occupation will
be undertaken where companies needing similar skills
requirements for their job vacancies will be grouped and invited
schools which shall serve as venue for the job fair for a particular
occupation. Thus, with this approach, job search will be easier
and less costly for the graduates.
