The SPES program is a flagship program of the government that provides temporary employment to students during summer or Christmas vacation to augment their financial needs. The program is implemented by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in coordination with local government units (LGUs).

The program not only helps the participants but also contributes to the economy of the city. The employment generated from the program provides temporary employment opportunities that help in the creation of economic activities in the city.
