|| CSU PARTNERS WITH DOLE R02 TO STREAMLINE JOB PLACEMENT FOR STUDENTS AND ALUMNI
Cagayan State University and the Department of Labor and Employment Region 02 (DOLE R02) are strengthening pathways from higher education to employment through an agreement establishing the Cagayan State University–Job Placement Office (CSU-JPO).
The partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Agreement, brings together DOLE R02, represented by Regional Director Imelda E. Romanillos and Cagayan State University, represented by Officer-In-Charge University President Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez.
The CSU-JPO will form part of the National Employment Facilitation Service Network (NEFSN) and will provide non-fee charging employment facilitation and related services for CSU students, graduates, and alumni.
Among the services to be provided are employment testing, job referral, placement, career development support, and other related employment assistance. The office will also establish and maintain a Labor Market Information database and coordinate with government agencies, employers, business and industry associations, the academe, and other organizations in sourcing job opportunities and identifying emerging workforce requirements.
The CSU-JPO will initially be housed at the CSU Alumni Affairs Office in Andrews Campus and may eventually be linked to satellite hubs in other CSU campuses, allowing employment facilitation services to reach more members of the University community.
The CSU-JPO will likewise help disseminate DOLE programs and services and submit reports on its operations in accordance with the applicable rules and guidelines governing the Public Employment Service Office framework.
Through the partnership, CSU and DOLE R02 seek to strengthen the University's employment support system and help ensure that students and graduates are better connected to opportunities in the labor market.
