The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) here has pushed for the implementation of the Enhanced on-line Skills Registry System (SRS) to strengthen employment mechanisms and to address job-skills mismatch problem in the region and Isabela province.
Director Grace Ursua said that Santiago City in Isabela has launched its SRS recently and was able to record more than 1,000 SRS registrants from the 37 barangays of the city.
Of the 1,000 SRS registrants, 255 were placed in banks, department stores, fast foods, retailing companies and schools.
Ursua said the SRS is an electronic system that captures and updates uploaded data such as workers skills, qualifications, among others, as well as the roster of establishments and vacancies in the cities, towns and barangays in a repository of 'live' register of skills accessible to reflect the relevant labor market information needed in every area in the region.
Under the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Memorandum Circular in 1994, Ursua said that Public Employment Service Office (PESO) officers, the local chief executives and the barangay officials were enjoined to provide efficient employment assistance to the unemployed through referrals for local and overseas employment, self-employment and livelihood, including skills enhancement training.
