THE Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is implementing soon the Pre-Employment Seminar for Local Applicant (Pesla) to provide the job seekers in the region better employment opportunity, both local and overseas.

DOLE regional director Ofelia Domingo said the job seekers, through the Pesla, will be assessed to determine what intervention can be given to them, the “do’s and don’ts” during the interview, among other needs.

Domingo said the Pesla will not be the typical lecture-type seminar but will include sharing of experiences.

She said they will train the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) managers for them to handle the conduct of the seminar for the job seekers.

One of the benefits of the Pesla is to provide job referrals to those who has attended the seminar, she added. (Bong Garcia/SunStar Philippines)
