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.

The Institute for Labor Studies undertakes a research titled “A Typology of Returning OFWs” in partnership with the National Reintegration Center for OFWs (NRCO)

The aim of this research is to generate data on returning Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), which includes potential returning OFWs and actual returnees based on their: (1) migration experiences; (2) motivation to return; and (3) accumulated resources (financial capital, human capital and social capital). The generated data will be used in the creation of a typology of returning OFWs which will form the basis of government intervention either in the form of assistance or developmental initiatives.
