The Philippines Department of Labour and Employment (DOLE) has formed a partnership with LinkedIn to address jobs-skills mismatch.

Under the partnership agreement, DOLE and LinkedIn published the Philippines Skills Report which contains data on top skills of four million LinkedIn Filipino members and includes in-demand jobs in the country. The report aims to help companies find employees who fit their hiring criteria.

Labour and Employment Secretary Silvestre Bello III, commented on the report, “It will help companies to fulfill their hiring needs and for the job seekers to find right opportunities fitted with their expertise.”

“In support of the Philippine government’s effort, LinkedIn is helping to bridge this gap and support local business by effectively connecting talent and skill with the right opportunities,” Bello said.

DOLE will also use the report as a reference for its other job and skills development projects.
