An electronics company in Cebu is set to hire a total of 4,000 trainees from Negros Oriental.
The Public Employment Services Office (PESO) has deployed around 300 workers for Cebu Mitsumi, a Japanese electronic manufacturing firm and one of the largest electronic manufacturers in Cebu, said provincial focal person Jose Ramon Benedicto.
“These applicants come from the different local government units like Pamplona, Mabinay, Tayasan and Siaton,” Benedicto said in an interview.
The workers are hired as trainees to work as electronic assemblers for a contract period of three years, with a monthly allowance of P8,000 plus overtime pay, he said.
“After three years, they will be able to receive from TESDA a NCII competency certificate as electronic assemblers,” said Benedicto.
With this certificate, Benedicto said, the workers will be qualified to work abroad such as Taiwan and Malaysia.
The PESO focal person is confident the province will meet the required 4,000 employees needed by Cebu Mitsumi.
“I am very confident because there are so many applicants here in the province who are coming to my office asking about employment opportunities,” said Benedicto.
During the pre-deployment briefing held today for 85 applicants from Pamplona, which is the fourth batch for deployment to Cebu Mitsumi, Gov. Roel Degamo urged them to work hard and do their work well. (RMN-PIA7 Negros Oriental)
