The role of Filipino youth in the workforce is foreseen to be vital in the next few years. The increasing number of youth in the labor force is envisioned to produce a new generation of workers who possess advanced skills such as IT, research, among others, that are highly needed by employers due to advances in technology. Further, technological advances are expected to increase demand for highly-skilled workers across age group, not just only on the youth group.

The Institute for Labor Studies (ILS) hosted the 3rd Inter--Agency Committee on Research and Statistical Matters (IAC-RSM), held on September 30, from 1 PM to 5 PM at the Local Governance and Learning Center (LGLC), DOLE Building, Intramuros, Manila.

As the Secretariat of the IAC-RSM, the Institute helms the quarterly meeting of the IAC-RSM members, which serves as the venue for all member agencies to provide updates on their research agenda for the year.

In support of the President’s order for the people’s right to information and disclosure in the public service, the Institute for Labor Studies (ILS) maintains its compliance status under the Philippine Transparency Seal.

As part of its advocacy in promoting the importance and career opportunities of policy research for students, the Institute for Labor Studies (ILS) undertakes improvements in its on-the-job training (OJT) activities to attain a more results-oriented training of practicumers.

The ILS Internship Program, or INTERNi, is the Institute’s response to the requests by higher educational institutions (HEIs) that require their graduating students to undergo immersion in an actual work setting.
