The Department of Labor and Employment is encouraging new graduates to register with the PhilJobnet, DOLE's online computerized jobs and skills matching system, to gain access to thousands of vacancies and prospective employers.

About half a million students from 1,647 colleges and universities in the country are graduating this year. DOLE said in a press release that it entered into a memorandum of agreement with the Commission on Higher Education last month for the registration of Batch 2007 with the PhilJobnet before the CHED issues the Special Order to the graduates.

The CHED has already asked its regional offices and covered higher education institutions to implement the agreement with the DOLE.

Graduates may register with the PhilJobnet through the Internet facilities in their schools or at the nearest CHED and DOLE regional office.

Schools without Internet facilities will be provided offline version of the PhilJobnet and the data will then be sent through e-mail to the DOLE regional offices that assist the CHED and colleges and universities in the use and maintenance of the PhilJobnet system.

The Phil-Jobnet System, at http://phil-job.net, functions as the country's basic Labor Market Information system under the supervision of the DOLE's Bureau of Local Employment.*
