The Southern Philippines Agri-Business and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology (SPAMAST) was honored with a Certificate of Appreciation from the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) of Davao Occidental for its unwavering support during the 2nd Regional PESO Congress. The event, held on November 21, 2024, at the ABC Gymnasium in Malita, Davao Occidental, brought together key stakeholders in employment facilitation and public service across the region.
In addition to the Certificate of Appreciation, SPAMAST’s Job Placement Office (JPO) earned the prestigious PESO Referral Award for achieving exceptional performance in meeting or exceeding 100% of its targeted number of job applicant referrals from January to October 2024 and Top Performer for Career Guidance and Employment Coaching. This milestone reflects SPAMAST’s commitment to providing meaningful employment opportunities for its stakeholders.
The success of SPAMAST in employment facilitation and outreach can be attributed to the tireless efforts of Prof. Lalaine M. Gella, Job Placement Officer at SPAMAST. Her dedication and strategic leadership have been instrumental in fostering collaborations between SPAMAST and local, regional, and national employment networks.
The recognition also underscores the support of the SPAMAST Administration, led by President Dr. Lynette A.
