1. The Department of Education (DepEd), through the Bureau of Human Resource and Organizational Development-Employee Welfare Division (BHROD-EWD), will conduct a series of Seminar on Pre-Retirement Innovations and Options for Results (PRIOR).
2. Generally, the seminar aims to equip the prospective retirees from the non-teaching personnel in the regional offices (ROs) and schools division offices (SDOs), with additional knowledge and skills to enhance their capabilities in activities, which can be useful after their retirement. The activity will provide continuing opportunities for advancement by helping discover innovations and options that will sustain them physically, pyschologically, socially and financially in their retirement life.
3. The PRIOR seminar will be conducted in regional clusters. The seminars will be conducted for participants from Regions I, II, III, IV-A (CALABARZON), National Capital Region (NCR), IV-B (MIMAROPA), Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), IX, X, XI, XII, and Caraga on the following dates and venues:
