Binay eyes creation of jobs council

TO effectively address the worsening jobs-skills mismatch in the country, Vice President and United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) standard bearer Jejomar Binay proposed the creation of a joint public-private council that will determine the needed skills by employers and industry leaders.

“We will come up with a program that will equip young people with skills that meet the needs of the employers,” campaign communications director Joey Salgado said.
