ILOILO – The provincial government’s Public Employment Service Office (PESO) was adjudged best in Western Visayas (1st Class provincial category) during the Regional Search for Best PESO of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
PESO chief Francsico Tirador Heler Jr. attributed the win to teamwork.
“Our partnership with the private sector, national government agencies, non-government organizations, civic organizations, and academe proved vital in the implementation of our programs and services. The support we get from Gov. Arthur Defensor Sr. and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan is a strengthening motivation and enabling factor for our office, too” said Heler.
With its regional win, the PESO is set to compete for its second national title for best PESO, 1st Class provincial category this October.
The PESO, a consistent regional awardee, has been in existence since 1992 but was formally created only in 2015 and has since garnered several recognitions and commendations for programs and services, including the 2015 Regional and National Best PESO for 1st Class provincial category.
This year’s award covered the 2016 performance of PESO.
PESO core services included Local Market Information, Career Coaching and Employment Orientation, and Placement and Referral.
It also maintains a workforce database accessible to employers, facilitates special recruitment activities, and conducts job fairs.
DOLE programs and other special projects such as Special Program for Employment of Students, Government Internship Program, JobStart Program, Migration and Development Initiative, Training for Better Access to Job Opportunities, and Customized Employment Project are also handled by PESO.
The Search for Best PESO is an annual activity that recognizes the significant role of the country’s almost 2,000 public employment offices in the implementation of DOLE-initiated employment facilitation programs at the grassroots level. (Iloilo Capitol/PN)
