HB2638 - AN ACT ESTABLISHING JOB PLACEMENT OFFICES IN ALL PUBLIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS, STATE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES, AND LOCAL UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES, AND CREATING A NATIONAL INDUSTRYACADEME COUNCIL AND LOCAL INDUSTRY-ACADEME COUNCILS TO ADDRESS JOB-SKILLS MISMATCH AND PROMOTE DECENT EMPLOYMENT, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES

In recent years, the country has seen a persistent job-skills mismatch that has significantly hindered graduates from securing employment aligned with their educational background and training. This has not only affected economic productivity but has also eroded the confidence of young professionals in the education-to employment pipeline. Thus, there is an urgent need for a systemic, data-driven, and multi-sectoral approach to harmonize education with the evolving demands of the labor market. This bill seeks to strengthen the employability of Filipino graduates by acknowledging and building upon the objectives of the Senate Bill introduced by Senator Bam Aquino, entitled "An Act Establishing Job Placement Offices In All Public Senior High Schools, State Universities and Colleges, and Local Universities and Colleges, and Creating a National Industry-Academe Council and Local IndustryAcademe Councils to Address Job-Skills Mismatch and Promote Decent Employment, and for Other Purposes."
