Returning overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Central Visayas will benefit from enhanced support as the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Department of Migration and Development (DMW) launch new initiatives to aid reintegration. The programs aim to improve access to livelihood opportunities, entrepreneurship, and government assistance for returning workers.
The collaboration between DTI and DMW focuses on providing practical tools and resources to help OFWs transition back into the local workforce. These include training programs, business development support, and financial assistance. The initiative is part of broader efforts to address the challenges faced by returning workers, particularly in finding stable employment and starting new ventures.
Central Visayas, a region known for its economic growth, is positioning itself as a key hub for OFW reintegration. Local government units are also playing a role by offering additional services and partnerships. The new programs are expected to strengthen the region’s capacity to support returning workers and contribute to sustainable economic development.
