DOLE: 392 mining jobs available for Pinoy repatriates from Libya


At least 392 jobs in the mining industry are initially available for overseas Filipino workers repatriated from Libya. Department of Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said the DOLE solicited the vacancies from mining firms that attended a recent forum in Surigao City. “These jobs are now posted online in the Phil-Jobnet, the government’s official job matching and jobs search portal," she said in a news release posted on the DOLE website. She expressed elation at the support of the mining firms for the DOLE’s employment facilitation program. Baldoz said this is an example of public-private partnership at work. For her part, DOLE-CARAGA regional director Ofelia Domingo said job solicitation, referral, and placement are part of the DOLE’s reintegration program for OFWs. Domingo said that during the forum, the DOLE requested company representatives to provide a list of job vacancies that the secretariat promptly posted to the Phil-Jobnet. The DOLE said the forum was a follow-through initiative of the Mining ITC after it had adopted the mining industry is Voluntary Code of Good Practices. It sought to assess the extent of implementation of the Code and identify workable strategies for replication among small mining companies. — LBG, GMA News
