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
