1M jobs in areas under post-Covid-19 recovery plan: DOLE
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is crafting a post-COVID-19 recovery plan aimed at generating one million jobs, primarily in provinces and rural areas.
This plan includes a three-month wage subsidy for workers in micro and small enterprises, as well as those in the gig economy and media.
DOLE will enhance its Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD) program to employ returning workers and community members.
The recovery plan is linked to the 'Balik-Probinsiya' concept and will involve hiring new graduates and nurses for occupational safety and health programs.
DOLE will also issue joint guidelines with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) for workplace protection in the new normal.
DOLE is coordinating with other government agencies, including the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), to integrate workers into public works projects.
