Hanoi, Vietnam – In line with its mission to promote gainful employment opportunities and human resource development, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), represented by Undersecretary Renato L. Ebarle and Bureau of Local Employment (BLE) Director Dominique Rubia-Tutay, attended the World Economic Forum (WEF) on ASEAN held on 11-13 September 2018.
Present in the event as well were the country’s key government o�cials, namely Secretary Ramon Lopez (Department of Trade and Industry), Undersecretary Jose Gabriel La Vina (Department of Agriculture), Undersecretary Karen Singsong (Department of Finance), and Ambassador Noel Servigon (Philippine Embassy, Hanoi).
With the theme "ASEAN 4.0: Entrepreneurship and the Fourth Industrial Revolution," the discussions revolved around �nding new approaches to regional governance, sharing countries' experiences in addressing the challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), de�ning new development models and dynamism for ASEAN economies, and shaping policies to develop smart infrastructure systems in the region.
ASEAN priorities in the 4IR
Priorities for the region include increasing inputs in education and employment creation, continuing
development of hard and so� technologies, and accelerating structural reforms and innovation-driven development. Right policies on 4IR must be put in place to safeguard data privacy and cybersecurity.
Support to entrepreneurship
Central to a number of discussions is entrepreneurship and the rising Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly innovative start-ups that maximize the use of technology. SMEs are seen to create more employment with greater �exibility for workers.
Workplace 4.0
�e 4IR brings new concept of workplace - from online to o�ces driven by smartphones, from co-location to working from home using technology for business. Governments are therefore challenged to invest in right infrastructure and making basic technology available to its people in Workplace 4.0. Moreover, with

Stepping stone to one’s dream
“�e Life Skills Training helped me discover my personality more,” he said. He liked the lessons on building personality and con�dence and handling people’s di�erences. He also shared that his communication skills have improved.
He applied in Casablanca because it is related to his course of study. When asked about his goals and dreams, he happily shared that he wants to become a manager at a hotel someday. He knows that his training in Casablanca is a stepping stone toward reaching his dreams.
