Labor officials urged local government units (LGUs) to register their constituents in the government’s Skills Registry System (SRS) to help them find jobs more easily.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said the registry system and the LGUs’ Public Employment Service Office (PESOs) would help people find jobs.
“An efficient nationwide manpower skills database will bring a lot of benefits to LGUs, enabling their constituents to locate and choose quality work and employers,” Baldoz said in an article posted on the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) website.
“For the government, it will help solve the problem of skills-jobs mismatch and improve the quality of the Philippine labor force, thus enabling us to be more productive and globally competitive,” she said.
She said the SRS will encourage investors to set-up businesses in communities where there are workers who possess the skills they need.
The SRS aims to classify the following details by province, city, town, and village:
# names of workers and their skills;
# establishments, and
# employers.
The SRS will be connected to PhilJobnet, the government’s online job portal accessible to jobseekers, recruitment agencies, and local and foreign employers.
The SRS is envisioned to be the repository of information on skills certification and accreditation, licensure, and local and overseas employment.
The SRS is now being piloted in 42 areas in the 16 regions nationwide.
The DOLE’s Bureau of Local Employment’s trained SRS technical people are leading the implementation.
“A ‘live’ Register of Skills, which is the SRS, will be readily accessed by clients nationwide and worldwide through the info-bahn or the digital information superhighway,” Baldoz said.
The SRS is part of the DOLE’s effort to develop an integrated data of labor information together with the:
# Bureau of Local Employment (BLE),
# the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA),
# the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA),
# the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC),
# the Maritime Training Councils (MTC), and
# the National Maritime Polytechnic (NMP).
