PRE-EMPLOYMENT ORIENTATION SEMINAR
One of the City’s initiatives is the conduct of Pre-Employment Orientation Seminar (PEOS). The PEOS is given to aspiring migrants which tackles the realities of migration and how to prepare themselves for work abroad. It also warns them on the modus-operandi of traffickers and illegal recruiters. The PEOS is an important phase of the pre-migration stage which aims to provide knowledge and brief the migrants on the scenarios and realities of working abroad and the application process for overseas jobs. It helps the potential migrants to make a sound decision and prevent them from being victimized by criminal syndicates. QC-PESO continuously conducts various sessions of PEOS in Quezon City Hall and in different barangays of Quezon City.
A total of one thousand three hundred nine (1,309) aspiring OFWs have given Pre-Employment Orientation Seminar for the year 2018. Five hundred forty-one are male and the remaining seven hundred sixty-eight (768) are female. The table below shows the schedule of PEOS conducted in the year 2018.
ANTI-ILLEGAL RECRUITMENT (AIR) SEMINAR AND ANTI-TRAFFICKING IN PERSON
Another City’s initiative to protect the migrants’ welfare and interest is the conduct of the Anti-Illegal Recruitment (AIR) and Anti-Trafficking in Person Seminar. It is held twice a year targeting the Barangay Councils and their staff as participants. They are being oriented on what constitutes illegal recruitment and how to address the situation if their constituents have been victimized. As foot soldiers in the fight against illegal recruitment, village officials are at the forefront of Quezon City’s strong commitment in protecting migrant Filipinos. The seminar is held together with POEA and the Local Government of Quezon City through the Public Employment Service Office. For the year 2018, two hundred fifty-two (252) barangay officials and staff have engaged to AIR Seminar. The table below shows the schedule of seminars conducted in 2018.
