MANILA CITY, METRO MANILA – High school graduates have a good chance of becoming employed right away if they enroll in courses related to the business process outsourcing or BPO industry.
Filipinos who work in the cyberservices industry can earn monthly salary ranging from P13,000 to P40,000 per month, and could even go up to P50,000 for highly-trained workers, said Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) chief Rosalinda Baldoz.
High-demand and high-paying jobs in the cyberservices industries include web developers, network engineers, computer programmers, program analysts, systems-analysts, technical support representatives, and software engineers, among others.
Even jobs that require “short-time” studies exist in the growing industry, such as online web marketing or search engine optimization, content writing, legal transcription, online office suite, web development solution and technical drafting, said Baldoz.
“It takes only three to six months of apprenticeship to obtain knowledge and skills about these jobs, but I advise jobseekers who are armed with these courses to train, pick-up very good communication skills, and a serious work ethic to be able to land a job,” Baldoz explained during the launch of DoLE’s 101 Career Guide.
The 101 Career Guide, which is updated every two years, is a list of careers that would be in-demand over the next ten years in the country’s key employment generating sectors.
Based on the guide, other key job-generating industries include agribusiness, health and wellness, hotel, restaurant and tourism, mining, construction, banking and finance, manufacturing, real estate, transport and logistics, wholesale and retail, trade and overseas employment.
“Our work at the DOLE is to inform jobseekers what jobs are out there, what qualifications they should have, and then to reduce process time, through a systematic mechanism, for them to land a job,” said Baldoz.
Interested parties can request for copies of the 101 Career Guide from DoLE.
