	* Round 1: The State of Youth Employment* Youth employment in the Philippines is not stable. We have a lot of State Colleges and Universities and private run Universities including Technical School run by the Government. Year after year we witness successful graduations. But after graduation, here comes the reality that graduates are hard up in looking for a job. There are a lot of jobs in the Philippines but it requires special skills that were never tackled in school. Universities for instance, Teaching courses like Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEeD), and Banchelor of Secondary Education (BEED). We have thousand of graduates in this area but we do not have enough school to accommodate them as teachers. -The only employment the Government can offer if to become a military man, but the entrance is like "you are welcome but you are not welcome". In some way I see a one sided kind of employment. For instance, a CEO only hires employee who are a graduate of his own university. We have a lot of competent graduates but they resorted to work as a 6 months contractual sales lady in a supermarket. What the school teaches has nothing to do with the real world. There are a lot of opportunities to development yet graduates lack the training there opportunities require. For example, call center industry in the Philippines are booming, they need a good English speaker, communicator and writer. For a 100 applicants only around 2-5 can pass the screening. So where will the other 95 goes? Philippines lack executive workers. We need managerial people with years of experience, but where will can we find them? They are already working abroad. All we have are blue collar workers that receives a very low salary. Imagine receiving a 150 Php a day? Education/ Training -As of the moment accent training schools are also booming. This is because call centers needs good English speakers. However, these schools are concentrated only in the cities. We don't have such kind of training in the provinces where majority of graduates come from. -We have also training for blue collar like heavy machine operations but it is also concentrated in the city. -Executive developmental training are mostly given to the people who are already in the position. National Policy -Government give microfinance in the form of loans but it is only granted to the people connected to the loan officers. The real marginalized people who have the best ideas are deprived from loan opportunities. -Labor code is only for the people who have the capacity to pay a lawyer. Common employees are not given the full benefit. Mostly, common employees are denied of their claim. -- ROMMEL T. BRILLANTES
