The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) reports that ten countries, including Saudi Arabia, Finland, and Oman, have expressed interest in hiring more Filipino workers and replicating the Philippines' successful overseas employment program. The DMW engaged in bilateral talks with these countries at the Global Labor Market Conference in Riyadh, highlighting the demand for Filipino skilled workers in various sectors.
TEN countries are eyeing to hire and enhance the skills of more overseas Filipino workers as well as replicate the country’s migration framework, according to the Department of Migrant Workers .
A highlight of the discussions is the interest of some of the said countries to open their doors to more OFWs. DMW said some of the countries also want to partner with the Philippines on upskilling initiatives for OFWs or to study its overseas employment program particularly its “best practices on facilitating the safe and ethical recruitment and deployment of OFWs, and its initiatives to combat illegal recruitment.”
The International Labor Organization has considered the comprehensive Philippine labor migration policy as a model for other countries.
