The document discusses the challenges young Filipinos face in finding employment, revealing that college graduates take an average of 2 years while high school graduates take 4 years to secure jobs, with a significant portion remaining not in employment, education, or training. It outlines the JobStart program aimed at facilitating youth employment by offering training, job matching, and employer partnerships, aiming to reach over 50,000 out-of-school youth by 2020. Success stories from training programs in the tourism sector highlight improvements in operational costs, employee retention, and customer satisfaction.

Editor's Notes
- #2: My presentation will cover two areas with a focus on the Philippines – first briefly discuss the youth school to work transition, and second on two programs that are designed to facilitate the transition; one on youth employment program and the other on industry skills grant scheme. Some lessons are drawing for other economies in the ASEAN region
- #3: The school to work transition describes a series of events by young people in finding a job – can include short term skills training, periods unemployed or economically inactive, temporary work. I would like to present some statistics that describes the youth stw transition. GO TO SLIDE
- #4: Highlight very slow transition for high school graduates – uncertain and full of anxieties for many
- #5: Another way at looking at lm performance related to this transition is the NEET rate. More frequent and longer in NEET the more likely you’ll be trapped in low paying jobs throughout your life. Talk about some risk factors
- #6: Gender gap Men are one in five
- #7: Education gap
- #8: Low income households Typically low education, les likely to do skills upgrading during the transition, lack life skills and have poor quality social contacts and rely on family and friend for fining a job.
- #9: Consequences for many young persons – low education translate to low wage. ADB statistical study on earnings differentials
- #10: Gender wage gap larger for low education – to some extent due to interruptions in women’s LM participation
- #11: Now let me turn to programs piloted in Philippines that have had success and long term promise for helping t faciliate the stw transion. First is JobStart Philippines JobStart offers a number of pathways for young perons between 18 and 24 years to find decent jobs. Services offered: Client assessment done at application/registration Life skills training for 8 days including one-on-one career coaching Job matching Referral to wage employment (job ready) Referral to TVET training up to 3 months, if necessary Referral to internship with employer up to 3 months Jobstart fully funds lifeskills and provides a stipend to the JobStartr during life skills and provides a grant to employer to cover technical training, stipend to JobStrter and admin costs. Employer pays 75% of MW during the internship. How do employers participate? 1. Employers can register for the program anytime during the year through contacting DOLE or the participating PESO. 2. JobStart consults with interested employers on requirements and procedures. 3. After JobStarters complete life skills training, they are referred to employers for interview. 4. Employers advise JobStart on successful applicants accepted for internships in their firms, then submit a training plan. 5. Employers sign a Memorandum of Agreement with JobStart at the local PESO. 6. JobStarters undergo technical training with the employer or with a TESDA-accredited institution. 7. Upon completion of technical training, JobStarters undertake internship with employers. 8. Employers evaluate JobStarter performance during the internship.
