The Cebu City Government is opening 500 slots for the Special Program for the Employment of Students (SPES), a summer job opportunity for senior high school fresh graduates in the city.
The program is a collaboration of the city and the Department of Manpower Development and Placement (DMDP) and the Department of Labor and Employment in Central Visayas (DOLE-7).
Successful applicants will receive a salary of P477 per day.
“For this year, Mayor Osmeña wants to hire fresh K-12 graduates because he wanted that their salary in their summer job can help their expenses for college,” said Jess dela Cruz, the city’s youth development office chief.
Dela Cruz added that Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña prefers that some students will act as auditors who will inspect and reassess the mayor’s recent projects in the city as to their sustainability and impact.
