Government and academe level up job and skills matching, DOLE to observe Career Guidance Week every July.
“With the continuous improvement of the country’s business climate and the labor market situation, the government will brook no obstacles and will be twice as intense in the previous years in addressing the job-skills mismatch in the country.”
This was the statement of Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz, as she sounded anew the government’s intensified efforts to create a competent pool of workforce through one of many strategies—the observance of Career Guidance Week for secondary students.
“The government is steadfast in conducting roundtable discussions and consultations on policy inconsistencies and administrative inefficiencies that hinder job creation; and one way to show that we are moving forward is the observance of Career Guidance Week on month of July.
The observance of Career Guidance Week is part of the Career Guidance Advocacy Program (CGAP), a convergent program of spearheaded by the Human Development and Poverty Reduction (HDPR) Cluster. The CGAP seeks to address the job-skills mismatch problem.
Its implementation is led by the Department of Education (DepED), in collaboration with the CGAP-Working Group—composed of the DOLE, Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Department of Education (DepEd), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Professional Regulations Commission (PRC), and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
Citing DepEd’s Department Order No. 25, s. 2013, which declares the observance of the Career Guidance Week, Baldoz said “the direction of one’s career path can be strengthened in the presence of career advocacy program that defines various jobs which are considered marketable.”
“The observance of Career Guidance Week in all High Schools starting the year 2013 is envisioned to prevent too much waste of resources in producing graduates in the tertiary level, as well as in technical vocational level who could not meet the qualification standards for the labor market,” she added.
At the end of the five-day event, as stated in the guidelines, the students shall have acquired information on the following: (1) discovering one’s strengths and developing awareness; (2) the qualification standards for all types of career jobs; and (3) making informed decisions on a career choice.
It also aims to develop awareness and appreciation on the available jobs in the labor market which is in lined with their needs and interests.
“Ultimately, the event seeks to make the students experience the careers they are aiming at,” Baldoz said.
“Through this observance, we expect hundreds of thousands of students trooping to colleges and universities in the next school year to already have a fair idea of the labor market that will gear them up towards right career choices,” she added.
The conduct of Career Guidance Week is in-line with the goal of the K-12 Basic Education Program to produce graduates who are ready for higher education, middle level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.
High school students from Grade 7 to 12are required to participate, accompanied by their parents or guardians, academe, and other stakeholders. From here on, the event shall be held every last week of July of every academic year.
In order to prepare Career Guidance Week implementors, the Professional Regulation Commission will host a Capacity Building Seminar-Workshop for public and private guidance counselors, principals and school superintendents from the different regions, teachers and other career guidance advocates this 24-25 June.
At the of the 3-day seminar-workshop, the participants will be able to achieve the following: (1) discuss the different career development student competencies, models and implications to the Career Guidance Week activities; (2) demonstrate facilitating skills relevant to and appropriate for the CGW activities; (3) apply the decision-making steps/procedures; (4) use and integrate the needed information about the students/clients, regulated professions, technical-vocational jobs and current LMI for coming up with adequate and well-informed career decisions; (5) explain the appropriate ethical standards related to the CGW activities; and (6) demonstrate the ability to be culturally sensitive and responsive to students/clients.
Towards this end, the labor and employment chief said she anticipates sustained positive action from the government and its tripartite partners, saying that by working together, inclusive economic growth and sustainable development can be fast achieved.
“With the right knowledge about the labor market, we make our students—our future workforce—armed and ready.”
The efforts of DOLE in addressing jobs and skills mismatch is in-line with President Benigno S. Aquino III’s 22-point labor and employment agenda, whose overarching goal is to invest in the country’s human resource to make them more competitive and employable. # Adapted News - DOLE

BRING ALTERNATIVE LEARNING SYSTEM (ALS) TO MORE LEARNERS
Newly-sworn in Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Leonor M. Briones is pushing for a more vigorous implementation of Alternative Learning System (ALS) to bring education to more learners across the country.
Herself a product of informal basic education during World War 2, Briones said her passion for ALS is shaped by the advocacies of a non-government organization Social Watch Philippines where she was Lead Convenor, as well as her own life experiences. Social Watch’s main thrust is increasing people’s awareness and participation in promoting social development concerns with government.
Speaking before DepEd employees during her first flag ceremony at the DepEd Central Office in Pasig City, Briones said that one can get educated in a non-traditional way. “The Department of Education had not invented ALS then but my own experience showed that one can get educated without formal schooling,” she recalled.
She shared that when the Japanese came to invade the Philippines, a university in Southern Philippines founded by American missionaries closed its facilities and its American and Filipino faculty fled to the hills.
The teachers set up a jungle university and continued to teach the mountain communities. Amidst the war, they never lost sight of the fact that they were primarily school teachers.
She said that her family also escaped to the hills where her mother, a teacher, gathered the children from the mountain villages and taught them how to read and write. “My mother, who was a teacher, did not let the horrors of war deter her from teaching,” she explained.
Her students used banana leaves with their natural lines as writing pads and sharpened bamboo sticks as their improvised pen. She was then three years old and listened to the lessons which her mother imparted.
When the war was over, children were tested to determine their grade equivalences. “The district supervisor tested me and decided to promote me by two grades. And I was not even enrolled!” Briones enthused. # www.deped.gov.ph

WORLD HEPATITIS DAY
World Hepatitis Day, 28 July 2016 is an opportunity to step up national and international efforts on hepatitis and urge partners and Member States to support the roll-out of the first Global Health Sector Strategy on viral hepatitis for 2016–2021, which was approved during the Sixty-ninth World Health Assembly in May 2016.
The new strategy introduces the first-ever global targets for viral hepatitis. These include a 30% reduction in new cases of hepatitis B and C, and a 10% reduction in mortality by 2020.
Key approaches will be to expand vaccination programmes for hepatitis B; focus on preventing mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B; improve injection, blood and surgical safety; “harm reduction” services for people who inject drugs; and increase access to diagnosis and treatment for hepatitis B and C.
Know hepatitis, act now On World Hepatitis Day 2016, WHO will call on policy-makers, health workers and the public to "Know hepatitis, act now".
The Organization urges them to inform themselves about the infection, take positive action to know their status by getting tested, and finally seek treatment to reduce needless deaths from this preventable and treatable infection.

MAGING BLOOD DONOR NG MAILIGTAS ANG BUHAY NG IBA
Tara na’t iligtas ang kapwa sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng dugo.
Tuwing buwan ng Hulyo, ipinagdiriwang ang National Blood Donor Month. Samatalahin natin ito upang tugunan ang panawagan ng Department of Health (DOH) at World Health Organization (WHO) sa publiko na magbigay ng dugo.
Kinakailangan ang boluntaryong pagbibigay ng ligtas ng dugo upang magkaroon ng sapat na suplay para sa mga pasyenteng ang buhay ay nakasalalay dito.
Sa bawat blood donation, tatlo hanggang apat na katao ang maaaring mailigtas sa bingit ng kamatayan.
Maaari kang magbahagi ng dugo kung ikaw ay:
•Edad 16 hanggang 65 taong gulang
•May timbang na hindi mas mababa sa 110lbs (50 kg)
•May pulse rate sa pagitan ng 60 hanggang 100 tibok kada minuto (beat/minute) at regular na ritmo
•Blood pressure sa pagitan ng 90 hanggang 160 systolic at 60 hanggang 100 diastolic
•Hemoglobin na hindi bababa sa 125 g/L
•Ang isang taong may malusog na pangangatawan ay maaaring magbigay ng dugo kada tatlong buwan.
Kabilang sa maaaring makinabang sa dugong ibinahagi ay mga pasyenteng nawalan ng maraming dugo dahil sa aksidente o operasyon, mga pasyenteng may leukemia o hemophila, at mga nanay na nagkaroon ng komplikasyon sa panganganak.
Bukod sa kasiyahan o “sense of significance” na naidudulot nito sa blood donor, ang pagbibigay ng dugo ay nakabubuti rin sa resistensya at sirkulasyon, nakatutulong sa produksyon ng bagong red blood cells, at nakabababa ng tiyansang magkaroon ng mga sakit tulad ng kanser at sakit sa puso.
Pinakakaraniwang blood type ay ang Blood Group O, kasunod ang A, B, at AB. Mahigit 99% ng mga Pilipino ay Rh positive, at mas mababa naman sa isang porsyento ang Rh negative.
Sa mga gustong magbigay ng dugo, maaaring magtungo sa blood service facilities (BSF) ng mga ospital at mga nongovernment organizations (NGO), pati sa mga local government units (LGU), Philippine Red Cross, at Philippine Blood Center. Puwede rin kayong mag-abang sa iba’t ibang blood donation activities.
Kung may tanong pa tungkol sa pag donate ng dugo. Kontakin ang Philippine Blood Center, Quezon Avenue, Quezon City. (02) 709-3792 or 709-3703 ,or mobile: 0943-314-2873. # Source – www.doh.gov.ph
