LEGAZPI CITY, June 2 (PIA) -- The Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES) of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will soon be in full swing that will benefit some 6,500 across the Bicol region with a total budget of P12.4 million this year,
DOLE Bicol regional director Nathaniel Lacambra said that this year’s SPES has kicked-off in the provinces of Albay, Camarines Sur and Sorsogon during first week of May while the Camarines Norte, Catanduanes and Masbate will follow suit not for long.
Lacambra explained that some 2,925 or 45 percent of the 6,500 slots are allotted for the SPES Baby Program, that is, beneficiaries who will be continuously enrolled in the program until graduation from school
The SPES Baby was developed to provide continuity and to achieve a long term effect of the program to its beneficiaries.
“In fact, we are proud to say that 4-SPES babies are now connected with DOLE-Bicol and PESO offices.” he said.
In DOLE Bicol regional office alone, 11 SPES beneficiaries under Public Employment Services Office (PESO) Albay are already reporting to work while the same scenario can be seen in DOLE Camarines Sur and Sorsogon.
DOLE expected that by end of May, all SPES beneficiaries would have been placed on-the-job so that they could get their salary before enrolment
DOLE’s SPES Program is one of the most highly rated programs of the agency that provides opportunities among poor but deserving students a chance to earn, while on vacation, to be able to pay for tuition fee during school time.
The DOLE shoulders 40 percent of the total pay of the student-beneficiaries while the sponsoring LGUs or private firms shoulders the 60 percent.
DOLE Bicol reiterated that SPES application is lodged at the PESO offices of LGUs and not at DOLE offices. Interested applicants must inquire at the nearest PESO office in their area. (MAL-PIA5/Albay)
