MANILA - Language proficiency is no longer a major hindrance for competent and dedicated Filipino workers who are interested to work in Korea, the Department of Labor and Employment said.
According to Labor Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III, a new recruitment point system for foreign workers in Korea will allow experienced and skilled jobseekers with low language proficiency to apply to any job that fit their qualifications.
Unlike the old system, the new recruitment scheme is not too strict in requiring applicants to possess high language proficiency once they passed the mandatory skills and optional competency tests.
“The system will broaden its range for recruitment by giving chances to the people who has low ability in speaking Korean language but with considerable job experiences and proven dedication for the job,” Bello said.
He said the Human Resources Development Services of Korea has designed the new recruitment system to allow employers to hire the right person and provide them with information on various qualifications of the jobseeker to be hired, including their Employment Permit System – Test of Proficiency in Korea (EPS TOPIK) results, skills test, training course completions, national certificates, and job experiences.
The point system uses the following selection criteria: Korean language test (TOPIK), mandatory skills test, work experience, physical condition, related training, and skills competency certification.
The implementation of the new system starts with online registration for the paper-based TOPIK from January 31 to February 3, 2017.
Applicants who are only qualified to register for TOPIK must be aged between 18 to 38 years old, with related work experience, no derogatory and deportation records, not restricted to depart from the Philippines, and without any physical and medical handicaps that will hamper work efficiency.
Other details on the implementation of the new system may be viewed at the POEA website poea.gov.ph.
The implementation of the point system for recruitment of foreign workers is supervised by the Ministry of Employment and Labor of the Republic of Korea and administered by the Human Resources Development Services of Korea in cooperation with DOLE. (DOLE)
