BAGUIO CITY -- A total of 15,784 jobs for local and
overseas employment will be up for grabs during the Labor Day job and business
fair here, the Department of Labor and Employment in the Cordillera
Administrative Region said on Wednesday.
Some 1,635 local jobs are offered by local employers. These
jobs include customer service representatives, Philippine Economic Zone
Authority (PEZA) manufacturers, English as Second Language teachers, sales
associates, skilled workers into constructions, food and beverage staffs, bookkeepers,
application developers and others.
For overseas employment, there are 14,149 available jobs for
nurses, technicians, and factory workers.
The job fair will be held at the Baguio City National High
School grounds.
A pre-registration will be held from April 25 to 27 to allow
interested job seekers to cut short their queuing time on the day itself.
DOLE-CAR Regional Director Exequiel Ronie Guzman said the
jobs fair aims to fast-track the meeting of jobseekers and employers and
overseas recruitment agencies to reduce cost, time, and effort particularly on
the part of the applicants.
It is done regularly in partnership with the local
government units, the different attached agencies of the DOLE, service
providers and others.
"Our employers are not just looking for skilled workers
but also those persons who have the willingness to learn and contribute to the
company. The applicant's attitude towards work is a necessary factor in getting
hired," Guzman said.
Aside from jobs, the event will also feature a livelihood
component, which comes as an option to those who will not be able to find the
appropriate job for them.
The Department of Trade and Industry will also set up a
Negosyo Center at the site to provide business counseling and business forum
for prospective and interested entrepreneurs.
The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
will also assist those who need to upgrade their skills to match the required
job offerings or those who want to want to acquire new skills. -- PNA
