The DOLE Kabuhayan Starter KITS Project is a livelihood formation strategy that
is intended to uphold improved socio-economic well-being of workers in the
informal economy, in groups or sectors with special concerns, and displaced wage
workers (local and overseas) and their families. The project will provide a
livelihood starter KITS inclusive of a package of services that will enable the target
beneficiaries to start quickly a livelihood enterprise and become self-employed. It
aims to engage them in sustainable self-employment through easy to learn
livelihood undertakings. The project solely targets the poor and long-term
unemployed especially the out-of-school youths, women, parents of child laborers,
Indigenous People (IPs), physically/occupationally disabled, urban poor, elderly
persons, landless farmers/fisherfolks and other workers in the informal economy,
and displaced wage (local and overseas) workers, OFW returnees and their
dependents, either individually or as groups. Starter KITS also includes trainings,
provisions of materials and equipments, handbooks and consultancies.

 National Skills Registry System (NSRS)
National Skills Registry System or commonly known by its acronym SRS is the
governments online manpower database. The government invites workers all over
the country to register in SRS to make themselves visible to the employers. SRS is
launched to ease poverty through substantial employment. Using the SRS, the list
of available workers in the country could be easily tracked down as well as the
lists of establishments with vacancies. The said program is connected to the
PhilJobNet, the governments online job portal, which is open for public access
thus bringing job seekers, recruitment agencies, and local and foreign employers
all in one place. SRS will serve as a bank of information on skills and
accreditations, licensures, and local and overseas employment.

 It was indeed a great opportunity for us Students to meet, interview
and have some funny talk with the Provincial Head of the Department of Labor
and Employment (La Union, RO1), Mrs. Agnes Buccat Aguinaldo who was
also a Louisian, graduated on the year of 1980 with a Degree in Accountancy
and was employed as clerk at the Department of Labor and Employment at the
same year. She is about to celebrate her 37 years in Public Service. She is a
kind accommodating Head of the field. She even showed us some of the
Departments books regarding Labor Laws and even gave us advices in our
studies and encouraged us to enter Law School afterwards and even
recommend the Department for us to work on while we are studying Law, she is
undeniably adorable!
