The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in Davao is now accepting interested students, college graduates and graduates of vocational courses who are unemployed, to apply for summer jobs under the expanded Government Internship Program (GIP).
Regional director Ester A. Versoza said the DSWD will be hiring 90,865 youths nationwide with a budget allocation of more than P1.3 billion. It is a continuing program being implemented as regular Government Internship Program.
For Davao Region, she said interested applicants can get application forms at DSWD Regional Office at the corner of R. Magsaysay Ave. and D. Suazo St., in this city. Application forms are also available at the city or municipal social welfare offices.
Versoza said the expanded GIP is also open for out-of-school youths who would want to take part in nation-building. It is part of the Aquino administration's efforts to strengthen youth participation in nation-building, expose them to government service, train them on life skills, and contribute to their economic well-being.
Interested applicants, aged 18 to 30 years old, can go to the nearest DSWD office nationwide to submit their applications together with a photocopy of their birth certificate and a barangay certification of indigence.
Under the program, qualified applicants may start work immediately and have to complete 52 days of work.
The qualified applicants can be assigned in the DSWD central office, or in the various regional offices including centers/institutions. Interns will be asked to perform not only actual office work but also assist in the implementation of the numerous DSWD programs and projects. They may also do direct service through field work in communities where DSWD programs and projects are implemented in partnership with local government units.
