TABUK, Kalinga, April 1 – The 20-day summer job under the Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES) here starts on April 11 and qualifying examination for applicants is ogoing.
Provincial Labor and Employment officer Avelina Manganip said target date for the start of the summer work is ideal to give enough time for employers and students to accomplish needed documents.
The 20 days exclude Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
Manganip explained there is a need for a qualifying examination to screen the number of applicants since there are only limited slots.
Kalinga has only 334 job slots this year, but the number of applicants reached more than 700.
There are six municipalities except Lubuagan and Pasil that have yet to finish their qualifying examinations with the provincial government and Kalinga Apayao State College (KASC), as partner employers.
The job slots are distributed to hiring agencies with the provincial government hiring 56, Rizal – 40, Lubuagan – 34, Balbalan – 30, Pasil – 25, Tabuk – 17, Tanudan – 12, Tinglayan – 9, and Kalinga Apayao State College (KASC) – 6.
Interested applicants may apply directly to designated public employment service officers (PESO) of hiring agencies.
DOLE opens the yearly program in coordination with other local government units and agencies, for the employment of students pursuant to Republic Act 7323, which provides financial assistance to poor students.
As tie-up program, hiring agencies pay 60 percent of the student’s salary, while the 40 percent is shouldered by the department, which is supposed to be released before the start of classes in June.
For 2011, hiring agencies submitted 640 job vacancies to DOLE, but because of the limited allotment for salaries given to Kalinga in the amount of P500,000, the number was cut to 334, Manganip said. From the figure, hiring agencies share a counter part of P750,116 to the salaries of students.
Salary rates of students under the SPES vary according to the income class of hiring LGUs, ranging from P168/day – P207.91, while KASC as state college offers the highest rate of P231/day.
Manganip urged students to submit their documents on time to avoid delay in the early release of salaries before classes open in June. *(PIA-CAR/Kalinga)
