CatSU senior students gear up for internship program through labor education seminar
AlumniGearing up for their upcoming off-campus internship, over
500 fourth-year students of Catanduanes State University undertook a seminar
series called Career Coaching and Counseling 2024 from January 17-18, which
bridged academic learning and real-world application.
Organized by CatSU-Alumni Relation Services as the Public
Employment Services Office (PESO) and Office of Student Scholarship, Financial
Assistance, Career Development, and Placement Services (OSSFACDPS), the invited
lecturers from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) - Catanduanes
Field Office guided the aspiring interns on workplace dynamics and discussed
different labor-related topics that will help them to make a meaningful
contribution during their internships.
Alumni Office Director and PESO Officer Prof. Maricel S.
Cariaso said the activity ensures the graduating students are prepared and
well-equipped before deployment.
"This raises awareness about their rights and
responsibilities and instills workplace ethics and the importance of
work-life balance," the Alumni Office Director and PESO officer said.
DOLE Senior Labor Employment Officer Jomell S. Pasano
guided the students on the topics of labor market information, workplace ethics
and conflict resolution, work-life balance, and building and maintaining a
professional network.
Giving insights on legally-mandated employee benefits, DOLE
Senior Labor Employment Officer Danilo Balilo walked through the participants
on general labor standards.
The first day of the seminar series was attended by
students from the College of Agriculture and Fisheries for the morning session
and in the afternoon session, students from the College of Information and
Communications Technology.
For today’s session, January 18, College of Industrial
Technology (CIT) students are the participants.
Other colleges are scheduled on the following dates:

Sciences (afternoon); and on January 29, the College of Humanities and Social
Sciences (morning) and the College of Education (afternoon).
Students from two remaining colleges, the College of
