DIPOLOG CITY – The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in Zamboanga del Norte through Provincial Director Henry P. Tianero has distributed computer sets to local government units (LGUs) in the province for the National Skills Registry System (NSRS).
NSRS is a program which aims to create a readily available database that shall aid in addressing the country’s growing problem on talents mismatch.
“This is for job facilitation by registering people with ages 15-60 years old stating their personal identification, contact number, educational background, job experience and their preferred occupation,” Butch Jayson Tormis, NSRS focal person said in an interview.
The cities of Dapitan and Dipolog were the first wave recipients while the municipalities of Liloy and Sindangan were the recipients for the second wave and the third batch of beneficiaries were the municipalities of Polanco, Piñan, Labason and Manukan.
Recipients for the fourth wave are the municipalities of Osmeña, Gutalac, Salug, Jose Dalman, Katipunan, Siayan, Tampilisan and Rizal.
Salug town received said computer last March 3. The entire computer set is worth P23,300.
Tormis explained that the NSRS is important in the aspect of skills mapping.
“The Bureau of Labor and Employment (BLE) provided us with software for the registration of the workers within the LGU. The website of philjob.net will be the main repository of all the data being gathered from all LGUs in the country,” Tormis added.
Tianero also made it clear that this program is intended to create a pool of workers registered from each barangay of every municipality/city.
“You will see how many unemployed in barangays. With this system of registration it would be easier for employers to access qualified workers to particular job,” Tianero stressed.
