1ST Senior High School TVL Jobs Fair

The Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) together with the members of the private sector has formalized a partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) to support classroom-building efforts through “Bayanihang Pampaaralan” (BP) that was launched in 2011.

BP is an initiative of the 57-75 Movement pushing for the construction of 10,000 classrooms in two years. It aims to consolidate classroom building efforts and direct funds to the construction of classrooms in areas that need the most assistance. The project encourages coordination of private sector efforts in education to help avoiding duplication of efforts and to rationalize funding for projects. From the experience, BP discovered that providing classrooms is not sufficient to meet desired its outcomes like improvement in academic performance so the consortium decided to rethink and expand its focus, and specify a focus intervention with focused results. The focus has now shifted to the senior high school (SHS) program when it was about to start, and BP’s focus was to help DepEd fulfill the promise of the SHS program. This gives birth to BP Visayas SHS Steering Committee that will look into the implementation of SHS specifically for the Technical Vocational and Livelihood Track.

BP Visayas Steering Committee has always believed that collective impact in education reform is best achieved when there is strong collaboration between the private sector, the academe, and other government agencies. One of its pioneering projects is the holding of the 1ST Senior High School TVL Jobs Fair on March 24, 2018 from 8am to 5:00pm at Abellana Sports Complex. This event is in partnership with the Cebu City Government through the Department of Manpower Development and Placement (DMDP) with the support of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Department of Overseas Employment and Authority (POEA) and Department of Education Cebu City Division. Among the media sponsors for this event are ABS-CBN and DYAB.

Part of the job fair’s output is the generation of data which will evaluate the readiness of SHS graduates to enter the workforce. As the first senior high job fair to be undertaken in the country, it is hope to create collective impact to better address the competency and critical skills requirements among graduates. Moreover, the results will aid stakeholders in developing approaches to improve the SHS curriculum and develop strategy on how industry players can collaborate with the academe in preparing senior high school students/graduates for work.
