ARMM opens over 1,400 summer jobs for students, OSYs

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 (OSY) across the region.

DOLE Regional Secretary Muslimin Jakilan said the program is open to all qualified high school, college or vocational course students, and OSY living in areas covered by the 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,” Secretary 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.
Under the SPES, the Labor department shoulders 40 percent of the salaries of the beneficiaries, while the employers like government agencies, local government units, private companies and other sponsor institutions pay the 60 percent.

Secretary Jakilan said the DOLE-ARMM has earmarked P3.8 million for the program.

“We want to help the students and OSYs to earn money, which they can use to pay for next school year,” he cited. 

The registration for employment applicants has already started and will end on the last week of March. Students will have work for a period of 25 days.

Students applicants are 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 OSY, a certificate of good moral character issued by his/her barangay is 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-ARMM/PIA-10)
