About the Program
Empowering Students Through Temporary Employment

SPES is administered by the Calamba City IIPESO in partnership with DOLE. It creates work opportunities for qualified students during school breaks, placing them in city government departments while providing income to support their studies.

For Financially Challenged Students

Open to students, out-of-school youth, and dependents of displaced or low-income workers who need financial support to continue their education.

Government-Subsidized Wages

The government covers part of the beneficiary's wage. Students complete 160 required work hours (about 20 eight-hour working days) in their assigned city government department.

Deployed During School Breaks

Beneficiaries are deployed in batches during summer or semestral break so employment won't conflict with their classes.
