DOLE representative Anita Melicor will tackle the career and employment coaching topics, while Tindoc will discuss the rights and responsibilities of children as outlined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
The students will also be oriented on Republic Act 9208 or the Anti-Human Trafficking Act for them to be aware of their rights and keep them from becoming victims of illegal recruiters, said Tindoc.
