Foreign chambers suggest solution for jobs mismatch

MANILA, Philippines--The Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce of the Philippines plans to linke up with high schools to ensure that students get proper guidance on how to choose college courses that will land them good jobs when they get out of school, its officials said.

Its members plan to “talk to high schools—tell them the trends, what companies require—so high school students can make more intelligent decisions on what courses to take in college,” Henry Schumacher, executive vice president of the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, said at a news briefing.

Leslie Stokes, chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, added that the same tie-up could be formed with colleges and universities to ensure that available jobs matched the qualifications of local graduates.

“There’s a need to match jobs with qualifications,” Stokes said. “We will work more closely with universities to ensure that the courses they are offering meet the requirements of employers.”

Schumacher said, “Education here is not good. The level of education has gone down. But in upgrading the level of education, it will take us 10 years to see the fruit. We can’t wait 10 years. If we do, the available jobs now will have already gone somewhere else.”

The Joint Foreign Chambers will hold its second job fair for the year on Aug. 13-14, hoping to fill 3,000 new jobs.
 
WTO ministers gather for crunch summit to nail Doha deal

GENEVA--Trade ministers from more than 30 countries, deeply divided and still clinging to core interests, mount another bid Monday to nail down a global trade accord before the arrival of a new US president early next year.

After nearly seven years of fruitless haggling, ministers will try to bridge gaps on trade-opening measures under the Doha Development Agenda, launched with great fanfare and hope in the Qatari capital in November 2001.

But the negotiations, under the auspices of the World Trade Organization, are deadlocked as developed and developing countries alike have been slow to make concessions on trade in agriculture, goods and services.

Their representatives will gather in Geneva knowing that from next January, the United States will have a new administration and a new Congress whose attitudes toward trade liberalization are at this point uncertain.

The administration of George W. Bush is therefore anxious to secure an agreement now, hoping to make it hard if not impossible for a new Congress to reject it.

But the United States is not the only party to the talks that needs to keep an eye on its domestic audience.

The European Union is also struggling to show a united front following a public spat between EU chief trade negotiator Peter Mandelson and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Mandelson is viewed with suspicion in Paris as a "neoliberal" prepared to sacrifice France's hefty agricultural sector for the sake of a deal.
