The Workers Organization Development Program (WODP), a flagship program of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) under the Bureau of Labor Relations (BLR), aims to strengthen workersโ organizations by enhancing their capabilities as independent and active partners in national development. The program empowers workers and their legitimate dependents through access to education, training, and capacity-building interventions.
WODP is implemented through two major components: the Training Grant, which supports the development and upgrading of workersโ organizations through leadership, labor relations, organizational management, and other skills-based trainings; and the Scholarship Grant, which provides educational assistance to officers and members of workersโ organizations as well as their legitimate dependents under the Isabelo Delos Reyes Scholarship.
