Filipino aspirants who desire to work as a caregiver in The Land of the Morning Calm, may now grab the chance to be part of the initial 100 workers to be deployed in South Korea.
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) has recently announced the launch of a pilot project which intends to recruit 100 caregivers under the Employment Permit System (EPS) between the Philippines and the Republic of South Korea.
According to the announcement, the initiative hopes to expand the bilateral relationship in terms of labor ties between the Philippines and Korea. The project also test the viability of a larger caregiver deployment plan between the two involved countries.
In return, the project shall directly benefit Korean families who are in need of help caring for children which include infants, or those who have pregnant women, single parents, or dual-income couples.
DMW said that chosen caregivers will be involved in daily tasks such as assisting with childcare, cleaning and laundry, and support for pregnant women.
The initiative, on the part of the Philippines, will pave way for new job opportunities for qualified Filipino caregivers.
For qualifications, prospective caregivers must be able to present their Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, or TESDA, NC II Caregiving Certificate.
Additionally, applicants' age must be between 24 and 38 years old.
Further, qualified applicants shall undergo comprehensive medical, psychological, language, and physical tests.
Afterward, they will receive pre-departure and post-arrival training sessions while prospective Korean families will also be present at the orientation sessions.
As per the data, Philippines is the first country agreeing into a bilateral labor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Korea under the aegis of the Employment Permit System, started in 2004. Hence, the two countries recently commemorate their 75 years of diplomatic relations.
Back at the matter, registration starts today, May 9, until May 10, 2024. For more details about this project, applicants are advised to visit the DMW’s website.
