Policy Center Leads Discussion on Assisting Displaced OFWs

The AIM Policy Center held a discussion forum entitled Handog ng Overseas Filipino Forum 2008: Reintegrating Globally Displaced Workers into the Local Economies” last December 9, 2008 at the SGV Hall. With the number of Overseas Filipino Workers displaced by the financial crisis in the US, Europe, and East Asia growing, the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) is continuously collaborating with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to come up with contingency plans for those directly affected by the crisis. The latest forum was part of these efforts to help those affected to identify opportunities that can help them cope with the crisis.
