INSIGHTS ABOUT THE DOLE AND LEGS SEMINAR

 The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Labor Education for Graduating Students (LEGS) are conducting a seminar to the graduating students in Nabunturan National Comprehensive High School Senior High School. Participants in the DOLE's LEGS seminars will have a better understanding of their roles and responsibilities while looking for jobs, the industry they want to work in, and the career they want to follow. The purpose of the LEGS seminar program is to inform "would-be workers" on their obligations and rights at work. It aims to educate students on the application process for jobs both domestically and abroad. In addition to that, this is an aid for graduating students, workers in the formal sectors and employers as well in guiding them to address problems/ issues confronting employer-employee relationship.

About the seminar I can say that it is a very important seminar, as a graduating student this will help me to know about job and opportunities that will be good for me. It will prepare me as a future worker on work ethics, the culture of productive and decent work, and other dynamics in the workplace. I've learned through the program that finding a job is a lot like shopping in a market where companies buy the skills job seekers are selling. Self-packaging is important since making a good impression early on is important for landing a job. Knowing all of these are a great opportunity for me because it really helps me to know my rights and what should I do for the future. I also learned about the labor standards. Labor standards sets out the minimumterms, conditions and benefits of employment that employers must comply with. 

The Seminar talked also about the rights of employees and employers to achieve the aim of labor laws which is Social Justice. The seminar will help me become familiar with DOLE’s services on employment facilitation, workers protection and social security coverage for the employees. All throughout the seminar we understand the importance of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on how they care about the employee and how they give the workers the protection. Also, the Labor Education for Graduating students (LEGS) aims to give the graduating students a right direction on how to be familiar on their obligation and rights at work.
