The Department of Labor and Employment has adopted four major strategies in the implementation of its programs and services. These strategies are:  Employment Generation, Employment Facilitation, Employment Enhancement and Employment Preservation.

 The four (4) major strategies of DOLE and its equivalent programs/projects as implemented nationwide:

1.  EMPLOYMENT GENERATION

          While the DOLE recognizes that the private sector is the primary engine of economic growth and that other government agencies that promote development through investments and infrastructure are the more significant employment generators, the DOLE still contributes in this area by providing bridging or transition opportunities, especially to the vulnerable sectors, to help them graduate into more productive, remunerative, secured or more formal employment or livelihood.

• Workers INcome Augmentation Program (WINAP)

• DOLE Adjustment Measures Program (DOLE-AMP

• Special Program for Employment of Students (SPES)

2.  EMPLOYMENT  FACILITATION

          Under this strategy, the DOLE provides employment facilitation and regulation services for local and overseas employment. We also harness modern technology to make more efficient the matching of job vacancies and skills supply.
