this project focuses on evidence setting through mapping and research activities with the target groups, local employers, and key government agencies. Depending on the results, the second phase shall focus on model development and pilot testing of the employment assistance program. Aside from these key activities, the project also initiates the creation of a web-based job-search tool (or other possible platforms) specifically designed for LGBT job seekers. This is part of the model development initiative in the second phase of the project. The team will also produce IEC materials, and conduct trainings for both employers and job seekers and monitor the employment situation and concerns of the job-placed LGBT persons. The project aligns well with the goals of ISEAN Philippines, particularly on its focus to ensure that LGBT communities have improved access to services, employment as well information on HIV and AIDS. ISEAN Philippines is at the forefront of developing and disseminating web-based and paper-based IEC materials that support LGBT welfare, with special focus on transgender populations. It has published newsletters, documentation reports, resource and training materials, including a SOGIE SC and Trans Health Training Module for Healthcare Workers.
