ZAMBOANGA CITY — The Department of Labor and Employment in Region 9 (DOLE-9) is set to implement the Pre-Employment Seminar for Local Applicant (PESLA) to provide job-seekers better employment opportunities, both local and overseas.

“We are going to provide the necessary intervention for job-seekers, so they can have more chances of getting employed,” DOLE Regional Director Ofelia Domingo on Monday said.

Through the PESLA, Domingo said job seekers will be assessed to determine what intervention can be given to them, the “do’s and don’ts” during the interview, and 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 seminar for job seekers.

PESLA has already been institutionalized in Region 11, she added.
