The International and External Affairs Director, Dr. Josefa G. Carrillo together with her Secretary, Ms. Marriane C. Veracruz, representedthe University of Perpetual Help System Laguna to the launching of the first online Employment Facilitation Platform - the PESO Laguna Employmentand Information System (PLEIS) which was successfully held at the Time Plaza, Laguna Capitol Compound, Sta. Cruz, Laguna last February 5, 2021.

The PLEIS aimed to: provide a platform to facilitate both the candidates seeking jobs and employers looking for employees for their companies; identify the needs of the companies and jobseekers which will be incorporated in a management system with updated information on available services of PPESO; provide an on-line referral/recruitment and placement system as one of the core functions of PPESO; provide a platform where employers can post their job advertisements where jobseeker can refer to when looking for jobs; provide a reliable and efficient source of data in monitoring the labor market trends; and provide a solution to the limitations being experienced by both jobseekers and employers in adherence to the safety protocols set by IATF to battle COVID 19 pandemic. The said event was attended by the various representatives from the Academe, Government Agencies and Industries.

Present during the occasion were Hon. Ramil L. Hernandez, Governor of the Province of Laguna who delivered an inspirational message and led in the symbolic activation of PLEIS; Atty. Dulce H. Rebanal, Provincial Administrator who with her welcome remarks; Ms. Mary Jane Banasihan-Corcuera, Laguna PESO Officer; Mr. Guido R. Recio, Provincial Director-DOLE Laguna; Ms. Dina F. Gotis, HR Manager of Daiwa Seiko Phils. Corp.; Mr. Verge; Rapin Jr., HR Supervisor of Motorcentral Group of Companies; Mr. Arvin M. Delmo, HR Business Partner Manager of Franklin Baker Company of the Phils.; jobseekers representative, Mr. Ronald Allan E. Paduada to mention a few. Moreover, with this kind of program launched by PPESO, it would be easier, not only on the part of the jobseekers to hunt a job, but likewise on the part of the industries to hire people that would fit to the qualifications they are looking for. Educational institutions would be of great benefit on this project wherein their graduates can access job opportunities in just a finger away. Lastly, a dream comes true to the Provincial Public Employment Service Office (PPESO) of Laguna for launching PLEIS to create more jobs among Lagunenses amidst this COVID 19 pandemic.
