Pre-Departure Registration and Orientation Seminars

The Philippines has developed a comprehensive protective mechanism covering all phases of migration, which includes a mandatory orientation programme for workers who are about to leave for employment abroad. This programme seeks to facilitate workers’ smooth arrival in and adjustment to the country of destination, teaches them coping mechanisms if faced with difficulties, and to obtain other essential information to prevent welfare problems. It also includes skills-specific training for vulnerable sectors, such as domestic workers.
