SCHOOL-TO-WORK TRANSITION
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT | REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES

The school-to-work transition for many young Filipinos is associated with change, waiting, and uncertainty.
It takes a high school leaver up to 3 years to find a first job and 4 years to find a
permanent wage job.
It takes a college graduate 1 year to find a first job and up to 2 years to find a
permanent job.
The youth’s educational attainment, age, behavior towards job searching, his family, social network, minimum wage, regulations and restrictions on employment arrangements are as strong factors influencing their school-to-work transition
The Filipino youth’s slow transition from school to work reduces their chances of finding a good job because their ‘employability’ diminishes.
The transition period may include the following: Job search behavior Short term skills training Temporary work, household duties Inactivity – staying at home out of employment,
education and training (NEET)

“Timid at first, my exposure to first-hand work experience
helped boost my self-confidence. Now, I enjoy
working in a team.”
“I learned to serve honestly and with integrity my
obligations not only at work, buy for my family and my
fellows as well.”
“I got promoted after my internship! I now earn a little higher than before
which I save for the repair of our home.”
“For an undereducated or under-skilled, a young
single mother like me, good thing I have gotten greater
chances of securing a decent job!”
